Guild Wars 2

So a post of mine in a thread got deleted for being “frivolous.” I’ll try to put this delicately (and I have a feeling this thread will get deleted either way) but just what exactly is the point of the policy behind that? I understand being totally off-topic or spamming the forums. What I don’t understand is when a thread is made talking about mounts, and when I reply with a sentence endorsing the idea of having mounts in-game and then jokingly adding that my norn would need something the size of a minatour in order to get around, it’s deemed “frivolous” and is deleted (the thread, btw was not deleted, just my post).

This isn’t meant to be a “Hey, why was my post deleted” thread, this is meant to be a “What’s going on in the minds of moderators.” If you’re not spamming or being grievously off-topic what’s wrong with a “frivolous” post here and there. It’s a forum for an mmo hence a social game, of course people are going to make silly posts and even silly threads. If they’re not inappropriate, what’s the harm? I realize it may seem like I’m overreacting but I honestly feel like I responded, on-topic, to a post and because my response had an edge of "frivolous"ness to it, my post was deleted. God forbid they allow any sort of frivolity on a game forum.

I think moderators started to being “intolerant” about this kind of posts.
I’m worried because they seems to be very active closing threads, or listening to “off-topic” threads than giving news about the fixed about the ridiculous DR.
Anyway, is their forums, their rules.

They just deleted a post by me for being “inflammatory”…yea I would expect it would be, since it concerned account hacking and item restoration.

Don’t feel bad, the mods here just kind of make up the rules as they go…

In my guild thread i did a bump one day, they deleted it and said that I cant bump my thread with a post that lacks content. That was completely fine with me, So a couple days later i added and Update about how our guild is growing and that we have brought in a lot of good people and that we had a guild event scheduled for the next weekend… stuff like that, I got the same message saying that my post lacked content, with a special note saying that i should’ve just edited my original post… Not sure why i would edit my guild recruitment post with an update post…. but oh well. I figured out then that the problem wasnt my posts, it was that they didnt want my to bump my thread in any fashion… and if thats the case why dont they just make a rule “DONT BUMP YOUR THREAD!” that would remove all confusion… but oh well, atleast the game is fun…
