If any of the mods get complaints on a post or a thread (see the option to "report to moderator"), it's usually going to be deleted.
So I could report a thread to a moderator because it was annoying me and it would get deleted? That makes sense. I'm totally not trying to be argumentative either, it just seems like the choice to delete threads in here depends on WHO is doing the posting rather than the subject matter.
