Not fair deletion?

I was just reading a thread about a person's friend who took some wrong turns, and it gets deleted?
Isn't this unfair, i mean 90% of the people were taking it seriously, no sarcasim, only trying to help, and it gets deleted?
Yet the other threads dont, i mean, i saw one asking how mayn 10% scrolls work out of 10 with multiple pages, when the answer was on the first page, and THAT doesn't get deleted?

Please be fair Basil

Yep, we'll see. Same reasoning on this side. [i]But he's not discussing them...[/i] And then I quietly tiptoed out.

[quote=marauder21]Btw, are you mods paid for this? And do you play maple or watch the threads all day?

OT:So he had inappropriate content? is that why it was deleted?[/quote]

We don't get paid, nor do we do this all day lol. I don't know what the thread it is but it's probably what Pav said. Inappropriate sexual content

[quote=Eeveepony]It does but it's not discussing them really, just mentioning. Sometimes the filters are extremely too strict if we are going to take them all 100% literally. We need to look at the context in which the word is used[/quote]

Alright then.

[quote=Pavchka]How about the filter bypass that's in it? It does violate rule #4.[/quote]

[quote=Eeveepony]I let it sit in General because it wasn't about custom avatars, it effects the art section as well. Fashion also does not get front paged, which would help decrease the threads made.[/quote]

@Pavchka:
Just move it? You are a mod, you can if you wan't to....

Also, I mentioned something like that [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2040409/0/Quality_improving_actions_necessary.html]in the other thread about repeaded topics[/url]. How ironic.... xD

[quote=Pavchka]I must admit that I too was frantically scrolling down the Chat section pages looking for it, only to stumble into it by chance in the General section. XD Not very straightforward, isn't it? Idea: Mods get stickying powers plus the ability to make a sticky show in more than one section. It would be appropriate for the Bannedstory thread.

@Malapo: I noticed that too, but I'm not sure of what to do, considering another moderator gave the thread his/her okay and even officialised it. [/quote]

Also, it was the best made thread of the topic and I wasn't about to go make a mod-made official topic so people could get mad that only mods can make them. Taking into account context, it's ok.

Ah, it's not really game related so I thought that chat was the appropriate section but I don't really think the section matters that much. Must have missed the thread in the general maple.[/quote]

[quote=Pavchka]@Logic: There's an official thread in the General section about the Bannedstory issue. I would have been nice if the thread you mean had been locked with a link to that thread.
If the thread Marauder means is the same thread I'm thinking of the user has been suspended for filter bypassing. He bypassed the same filtered word twice. Also this site has a somewhat Kindergarten approach towards sex, so it was a little inappropriate according the this site's standards as well.
Comments by users have nothing to do with the deletion in this case.[/quote]

What do you mean he bypassed the filter twice? Yeah he had some sexual words

I'm also interested as to why it was closed.

I can kinda see why the thread was closed.

Though I never got to finish my SUPER RELEVANT conversation with Lanique.

Was it the thread in which a person bypassed the filter twice and which also had sexually inappropriate content?

Yeah, it was deleted a moment ago, and it was about the TS's female friend
