i've seen that option, can you reopen a thread after you close it? i will keep this in mind next time, thanks. i didn't expect the thread to get deleted, i left and found out when i came back to it. i assumed it was because it went OT and so made a new same thread and when that got deleted, i...
i witnessed it too and i would have wanted it locked as you say than deleted, or most preferably a mod stepping in and deleting OT posts and posting a warning to get the thread back on topic else it will get locked.
a correction, CAG got subpoenaed, and 'in February 2009, after declaring bankruptcy, Circuit City filed an order of Nonsuit, officially ending the matter' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheap_Ass_Gamer#Circuit_City_Stores.2C_Inc._v._John_Doe.2C_A.K.A._Speedy1961)...
CheapyD just emailed me that he will think about it.
another suggestion is that when threads and posts are deleted the OP gets a notification PM about it explaining why and how to appeal it, this can be an automated process.
how long does it normally take now to get contacted back by CheapyD? it's been more than 24 hours since i emailed him and used the form. last time i did it took him less time than that.
JP, there is discussion here, which is what feedback should evoke, so thanks for your constructive side.

but the OP could still be of use...
the general moderation of the site i've seen is deletions of whole threads when offending posts could have been edited or removed or warned or the thread locked, or when the deletions were unnecessary or extreme. and CAG is primarily a game deal site but some deals are posted elsewhere first...
'Some may call the mods taking action as being the moral police, but I see it as covering the sites ass. Erring on the side of caution is a much better policy than just letting everything fly. An example of that is that there is no direct posting of images of ads circulars that have been leaked...
'At some point, CheapyD and some mods(?) made the decision to act as the moral police and decide what's "appropriate" for CAG users.'
some examples; in the CAG TOU & UA, it states 'The Management does not control the Content posted by others and does not guarantee its accuracy, integrity or...
i'm not openly second-guessing him or looking for any favors, i asked him a question (am i not allowed to?) and i already stated i contacted CheapyD as is the process, and i posted all this as feedback, why is why it's here.
and i even replied to shrike4242 that i'm not looking to argue, i...
