Spam and deleting Firefox's giveaway thread unless I just can't see it.

Tauto: Spam and deleting Firefox's giveaway thread unless I just can't see it.
What is this in reference to?
I don't check the forum all that often, and so I haven't seen the giveaway in question. Just now I looked at the posts so far back as 24 hours, and the only post belonging to Fairfox that I see is the one about the water levels.

Is this another instance of frivolous post deletions by users or a mod action (either at her own request or for some violation of the rules?)
It's really long overdue that Gog does something about this stupid rep system, at least the automatic thread deletion.
Unless it got shifted to another giveaway thread? *shrug*

Firefox put up a giveaway thread and the nasties in here spammed it into deletion.What more can I say?

So was it auto-deleted, or did a mod do it?
Another possibility is that Fairfox pinged a mod and requested deletion. In a later post she mentioned that it was a drunk post that - in hindsight - maybe wasn't the best idea.

Hopefully that's the case. She seems to be going through hard times.

Oh dear, looks like a mod deleted it. I did saw it briefly, but after visiting other topics in the forum, your thread was gone when I came back.

Or enough people downvoted the OP and marked it as spam. That gets topics deleted as well.
low rated
This forum is proof that seriousness and superficiality are not mutually exclusive. o.O
To be fair, Fairfox didn't name the thread properly, with the "giveaway" keyword, and the intentionally broken English she uses, made it difficult to follow the post. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the mod who deleted the thread, simply didn't understand that it was meant to be a giveaway. Personally I didn't understand her post and if it wasn't for the first reply, that thanked her for the giveaway, I wouldn't have figured it out.

EDIT: Oops!!! This seems to be a recent development. I remembered an older Fairfox giveaway, 3-4 days ago. I think it's safe to ignore my comment.

No, you're thinking of the right one. It was this thread, which'll now turn up a 404 if you try the link:

I'd be willing to bank on it being shut down by downvotes/abuse of the report as spam button, considering that the OP was "low rated" last time I looked on the thread.
