Overzealous moderation?
its indeed a bit like a dictatorship.
but in the end, they do what they want with their game.
its not like nobody is forced to play.
Every single thing I have seen them close has either been a repeat topic, common sense and should not need discussion or veiled trolling. I dunno what your topic was about so I can not comment. I would however, probably close a thread like this as well.
I think they are quite well organized, and people are just used to the lax moderation from other forums.
