Why do you keep deleting previous threads in Testing - DEVS forum? Only 1 day old and you delete them. People spent a lot of time thinking about it an typing their posts and you delete them after one day!! Is it because people posted a lot of negative views on the CU? Was it an act of censorship to delete the threads? There was a lot of good ideas on that thread... did you save it for your own review or was it just a waste of time posting there? I just don't have the feeling that you take your customers seriously when I see things like this. Oh yeah, I never saw a reply of Tiggs concerning people's replies and/or ideas. I ask you kindly; what do you do with the deleted threads?

They archive those threads daily so they can keep the information current. They don't get deleted, just sent to an archive that isn't open to the public.
Anytime there are changes made to the code, they start a new thread because it's a new publish with the potential for new issues and some of the old ones are resolved (hopefully).

What it boils down to is if you are not saying nice things about the CU and praising SOE the your thread POOFS. I would like to know why the Poll is hidden for CU last I check 68% of the people voting hate it thats 68% of 467 people. Wonder were they will hide this comment

Actually they've said many times that they're not deleting them, they're moving the daily feedback threads to a private dev forum... so they say. The fact of the matter is that they have always tried to manipulate communications and sentiment among the customers. Even now, if you look at how they're structuring feedback threads, they're here today, gone tomorrow, essentially snuffing out dissent, momentum, and cohesiveness among the dissatisfied customers.
Look at the in testing dev forum and how they keep conversation live on the "today's" thread, by tying it to a current small publish, so all prior discussion becomes a "prior-publish" thread and is not frequented for ongoing discussion. They're #### no-#### manipulative #######s.
I have nothing but contempt for the SOE SWG team, and they may be fooling the kids around here, but anyone else can see their heavy-handed, manipulative, deceptive, and non-communicative behavior.
