Ngl, it's mystifying. I could understand if it wouldbe locked as spam because it was, well, a bit spammy I suppose. But not bad enough to erase it entirely.
What? It wasn't spammy. It had a topic, it had discussion, it had speculation about pirate treasure, it even had pictures of dogs digging holes. There's no way that could be considered spam.
I mean, if I can make a thread about belly button lint and have dozens of pages of responses, from users, FMods and JMods... and that not be considered spam, how could this one be spam? There's so much more to discuss about dogs digging holes... than belly button lint.
