At least it's not as bad as web forums, where if you post your opinion to an old thread it's deleted as "necroposting", but when you post it as a new thread it's deleted as a "dupe", so you shoehorn it into a closely-related thread but it's deleted as "off-topic", and when you point out your predicament to a mod you're "ignored", so finally you complain and then you're "banned". :)
