There are good and bad reasons for self moderated threads and we're mostly thinking about the deletion of the bad comments against them and could also be the potential complaints that might be found by their players.
But we will see if there will those type of posts in here and as well as the deletion that they might do to silence those potential complainants. So far, there's none I guess or I've missed one or two.
If I were on that team then I may use the self-moderated thread but only delete a posts like hello, hi or whatever posts that should be deleted and to make it clear, I would also announce that bad comments or criticism won't be deleted. It is much better if a team of a casino would listen or read everyone's advice, recommendations and suggestions. You are right and well see what action they will take when that happen.
It seems that there has been a lot of casino management not accepting or removing bad comments and criticism about the casino.
After all, the casino does not want any bad criticism about the site because it can have a bad impact on the casino site.
It's possible that if a casino user wants to provide suggestions or criticism about the shortcomings of a casino site, they can do so by sending a private message to the moderator or manager of the casino and it will be more acceptable because without the knowledge of other people.
