Is there any reason given as to why the admin deleted the original ANN thread?
I have some post in the thread for which I wanna be updated with the project and wit h that post means I have subscribed that this thread will be up for me to see what is going on every time there is a reply to that thread. I'm glad I have found this new one again.
Sure. The reason we were given was the bounty program was incentivising people to post on the ANN thread. Our goal was to have ambassadors.
Hmmm. Just found the new thread; mprep is really over extending the interpretation of "No Give Aways" in this situation. Did he charge a fine to reopen the thread? The bounty program ended days ago so there really was no reason to flag the old thread and there wasn't the level of "shilling" that we normally see in other threads. I only recognized genuine project supporters. Anyway, moving forward, I guess the rules are meant to clean the forum of the chaos so we should appreciate the overwhelming diligence of our moderators, as long as they're not using the rules to extort "payments."
Well I am not one to judge. The sad thing is I think the thread had lots of useful content on architecture and design of blockchain solutions which is now lost due something that really wasn't within our control.
Going forward we will focus more on content our our blog and twitter feed.
