@ Tophurious - We do our best to protect an author's thread from rule breakers. However, there are times when a topic get so heated or overwhelmed that there are more hidden posts than discussion posts. When that happens, it is often better to lock the thread, and possibly (determined on a case by case basis) allow the author to repost a fresh thread.
If you have concerns over the actions of an F Mod, those are best addressed in the
Forum Moderation Review
thread.
