Deleting posts that you don't like in a self moderated thread is not right, why start the thread in the first place if all you want to hear is what you like. If you start a thread against another user, you should leave it open for others to contribute.
I think thats right. Self moderated in my opinion has been there to let the OP clean up some possible spam and out of topic response to sort out the cleanliness of the subject.
But with regards with this one, its the opposite since he deleted mostly of the comment. Nobody wanted dispute on forum. I also commented on that and seen my post deleted too.
The guy is likely pissed for not getting 30$ for his review.
Yeah so the thread on altcointalks, it seems that the cause of heated drama. Anyway hope they settled it soon to lessen issues here.
