Deja Vu - Remember this one?

- The title of a clearly titled music thread Do you support the Status Quo?
   has been changed without the originator's permission for some reason to In favour of/ Do you support the Status Quo - and has now been relegated to the BS section by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team. He has also seen fit to combine the deleted BS thread with this Music thread.

The following editing comment was inserted into an existing post which did not refresh the thread.

Threads combined. Messages above had been deleted, but I could see no justification for the deletions. Messages below are from a new thread.

The first thread was stupid, but I don't think that constitutes a reason for deleting it. I undeleted the messages from the previous deleted thread and combined them with this one.
But I think the "discussion" fits best into the "BS" category, where the original thread was located. I'll admit that's an arbitrary decision, but I had to pick one or the other.

Big Stick's messages were deleted. They were just weird.

These things were only judged as stupid or weird - lucky they were not judged as obnoxious by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing team...........

Can our forum be informed if anything sensible is being done to prevent entire threads from again being anonymously deleted for no reason?

Surely if all of our 'moderators' were required to always provide an editing comment when they judge and imposed this judgement in any form of editing action - this may avoid this happening again? Avoid the need for posters to hunt around trying to establish the fate of their contributions and avoid the need for threads to be restored?

The whole thing makes our forum look like a poor joke.
