I've had a couple of threads deleted and don't appreciatiate the manner in which it's done if my thread's to be deleted the minimum I'd expect is a PM from the person deleting the thread stating the reason/s the thread has been deleted communicating with OPs after such a drastic measure as deleting their thread should be a de facto part of EliteTrader's practice, let alone common curtesy an 'arbitration process' should also be in place should the OP want it to determine if the deletion was valid and if the thread should be re-posted
There seems to be a few chatters facing this same level of disrespect from the moderators. I would like to see a system in place to keep the moderators from running roughshod over this board. It belongs to us as well as them.
