>/metatech/ is bullshit, nobody will read those complaints, people won't see what mods delete because they don't visit /metatech/
Because most people don't have reason to go there.
We are always monitoring that board, however, and when people do have reason to go there, they can find every issue posted, in the raw, unmolested by moderation or bump limits. Before /metatech/, there were meta threads taking up space for every little occurrence or question, knocking off perfectly good threads. I bumplocked this thread because it's one of those posts, but I'll sticky this thread for a bit so everyone can see. Better for them to know what is and isn't allowed straight from the horse's mouth, anyway.

That's another issue we've been struggling to deal with for the longest. Most of those threads you mentioned ended up getting deleted because they were considered off-topic. When politics get involved, the line of what is and isn't off-topic gets blurry. Whenever that's the case, you can't expect us not to step on someone's toes from time to time. Generally speaking, everything that's more tech than politics related, and politics immediately pertaining to technology is allowed. However, looking at your given example, that shouldn't have been deleted at all. Again, an error in volunteer judgement; something else to bring up when I bring it up with him. Take it for what you will, but I will try and clear this up as best as I can
