If what you say is true, why are you afraid of a user with negative comments? Your long time players should see right through that!

Even if you're honest, censoring hundreds of posts from your topic looksmakes you look bad, and even if you're honst, your reputation is now being tarnished by the fact that you censor your topic.
May I suggest to grow a thicker skin, and remove the self-moderation from your thread? You can do that by clicking "move topic" (bottom-left), moving it to Archival (which doesn't allow self-moderation), and then move it back to the Gambling board.

Think of it this way: now, it's either the accusations or the deletion of posts that makes you look bad. One way or another, it looks bad. Without self-moderation, it's only the accusations. If what you say is true, you should be able to handle that.
