I would expect Ratimov to give some explanation as to why so many threads moved and deleted, as I said in another thread, but at this stage he doesn't seem to want to give any. Apart from the fact that I don't think he can give any that aren't outlandish on the subject.

While it's far from nice behavior on the forum, I knew the risk for this when I've posted in self-moderated topics.
It's a bit shame, since although he made a lot of good and informative topics, he acts highly questionable now and then.

Yeah but it's one thing when you post in a self moderated thread you know you risk having your post deleted maybe because the author simply doesn't like you or something. It's quite another for a highly reputable member of the forum who is at the top of several rankings on bpip.org to massively delete self moderated threads where significant issues have been addressed and merit has been given in them. That's not what the self-moderation function was intended for, I believe.
