I just wanted to get some of the ground rules established about why whole threads, or individual posts, might get deleted. This morning I asked a couple of genuine questions in relation to what I assume is a known issue about a weakness in a quiz-related game - a known issue in the sense that I'm sure a lot of the posters on here know about it in either general or specific terms, and certainly known to the machine companies, hence the rapid removal of said game from most cabinets. I've called it a weakness as it's not really even a bug in the sense I understand that term.
The whole thread has subsequently been deleted and I just wondered why that was. Was the existing content, i.e. a general discussion of a known issue without referring to the specific details of how you actually exploit that weakness, sufficient to cause the thread to be deleted? Or did the conversation subsequently spread into dodgier ground? Or does someone simply want to protect their 'secret' knowledge in order to prolong their ability to exploit this weakness at the few remaining sites?
As I said, this isn't in relation to a game of any personal interest of mine - I have better ways to try to win cash than doing something so mind-numbingly repetitive - but I'd have to say that without being able to discuss such issues on here, this forum would start to seem more than a little pointless. There are only so many times people can talk about a certain word-related game, after all...
