Hi,
I made a thread in nvg about my view on how pokerstars could enter the USA without any law changes or creation last night.

I woke up today to see it gone before I could read any responses and no reason to why it was deleted. I would love to know why it was deleted and if possible be able to see what people posted in it.

I hope my request is reasonable and am very curious to why it wasn't just locked if it was violating any rules, which I believe it was not.

The thread link is:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...-soon-1371798/

It is rare for me to make threads because I'm a very keep to myself kind of guy, so when I do, I bookmark the thread.

Anyway thanks for your time

One post was:

"This might just be the single dumbest thing I've ever read. It's so dumb that it's not even worth asking for clarification."

Others were:

"super dumb"

"OP, why aren't you the CEO yet?"

Probably the most helpful was:

"so you mean Bitcoin?"

I don't know who the mod is and that is why I posted in atf.

questions about moderator actions are usually told to PM the mod or post in ATF.

Do we allow comments that cause post count confusion in profiles?

I was about to link you to the same thread; it hadn't occurred to me that it was pointed out to you and that wasn't good enough. Why do you need to know what moderator it was to be able to post about this in the NVG moderation thread?

And I'd agree that it was a pretty dumb idea.
