How about your original thread sucks. The title sounds like it is going to be a super negative OP denoted by the all capped "RANT" in the title. Then, there is a post that is about an unresolved issue that was in the process of being dealt with. The thread degrades into a discussion of CGN policy and a two way discussion between yourself and EPPs that probably could have been done in private if you had given it some time.
It is almost like you posted about it because you felt insecure about how the deal was going to go down. Like maybe if you posted a thread in EPP's section, your grievance would be given special attention. Psychological insurance policy, perhaps?
And now, for whatever reason, you have drudged it up again, still unresolved as far as anyone knows, and it wasn't even a topic that is EPPs problem this time. You want to know how threads get deleted which is info that can be found in many ways that don't include making another thread about a thread that was locked in the same place that first thread was locked (hope you took a big breath before reading that). Seems pointless if you ask me.
Oh and that Shadow I ordered from EPPs? Came today, 7 days after ordering, and it is perfect.
