Not by any mods of this forum.
What happened is razzplayer2016 also posted in the politics forum. Apparently a politics mod banned razzplayer2016 on the basis of that post. (Looks like maybe the politics mod used the "one touch ban and clean" banning method available to mods to get rid of spam posters). I'm not a politics mod, so I can't see what the post that led to the ban is. (Niss can't see what the offending post was either). Only mods assigned to a forum can read deleted posts in that forum.
But at any rate the banning was done by a politics mod and looks like a "one touch ban and clean" to me. That kind of ban is generally reserved for spammers and would delete all razzplayer2016's posts in all forums.
Then, when the opening post in a thread is deleted, the whole thread is deleted. As a mod, I can still read the thread in our forum, but I won't reinstate a poster (razzplayer2016) who was banned by another moderator. (A standard mod rule is to not overturn another mod's ban decision).
Here are the posts in the thread, for the curious:

Of course you can, depending on how much better you are than the ones you are playing with.
Because of your nickname, I assume you are talking about fixed. I don't know much about that game, but the answer should remain the same.

Re: is the down swing of O8 horrible?
I agree with amok
The downswing in O8 and even FLO8 bites hard and can eat your money. My biggest ever downswing has happened 4-5 times in O8, when I lost roughly 100 BIs in MTT
In cash games I have lost 2,000 BBs
If people are losing that much money it is "easy" to win 5bb/100 after rake
Maybe you are asking is the downswing in O8 less than NLHE or PLO?
I would say the O8 downswing is slightly less but this is more to do with how long it takes to play the game (split pots). If you play 100 of O8 and 100 of NLHE or PLO, the odds of winning are the same so the downswings are the same, the only thing that changes is how long it takes - FLO8 will take the longest but you can still lose the same amount of money
Anyhow that's what happened... and there's the thread in it's entirety (except that I had corrected the misspelling in the title before it got deleted by that politics mod).
