Why I Think Explanations Should Be GIven for Deleted Threads

Simply put, it comes across less as moderating and more as power-tripping. In my opinion, the mods do themselves no favors by not giving explanations.

Very diplomatically put, MC.

I hope the same, but assume this thread will face the same fate as the previous threads which questioned the actions of a mod.

Likewise, I think that if the mods can't get with the program (and I think the program GCers are looking for involves transparency and also fair and consistent moderating), perhaps those mods should mod elsewhere. But that's just my opinion, which I assume will be deleted.
