I don’t see any other name for what I feel when I do type the name of the thread I’m looking for into my browser and are greeted with a 404 in the next day.
A head’s up or just seeing the thing locked is enough, moreover it will mostly just drown amongst all the posts on the main homepage.
My current setup shows 13 threads on the main page
Give it 6 hours and it won’t be bothering anybody else if it’s not bumped up here.
Read-only is not bothering anybody given the “visual noise” argument. 
Not sure how or why but I am sorry about that one too.
I guess that some nice positive people leaving plays a role into that. 
Exactly. Let people write their thoughts and not remove any of them is the crux of my message. 
Not all threads are bloody and full of anger, some of them come from frustration or incomprehension.
We cannot know which rules are violated if nobody knows why a thread is removed.
Moreover, I’m not sure to understand what rules got violated in some of the above dead links.
Thanks for sharing this one. We’ll wait for some updates (hopefully on this exact thread). 
This one is (as stated in my first message) very relative.
The actual overwhelming homepage of this Discourse is real when opening it but most of the time, filtering by specific categories like News, Questions etc…helps.
Since this exact thread is inside of Meta as of right now, I don’t see it being anymore disruptive than any other meta thread.
Moreover, we could indeed just focus on the main Security + Privacy topic (99% of my messages here) yet sometimes, it’s also important to change a few things around and provide some feedback both ways.
For example, the recent removal of the Twitter share button was a quick and dirty necessary non-disruptive one.
Let’s consider this Forum moderation as equally necessary given people’s consensus.
Especially when looking at the reactions themselves from the people most active on this forum
A lurker interested about some tips about a good VPS provider[1] won’t care or stick around for long enough anyway, so not a huge deal breaker. 
Exactly the point of my message too and why quite a bunch of people are upset as of today.
Those threads of common grounds for discussion were deleted.
Hence I’m once asking again by bringing it up with some facts/links to illustrate all of it.
Splitting things individually is indeed not very constructive.
Yet, not discussing about constructive criticism in favor of the latest news is also avoiding a slowly raising problem/community concern.
I’m not sure what is the different between @mods or @team, hence preferred to cc large.
Sorry if @mods was more than enough, duly noted. 
PS: I’m moreover merely just a messenger here that is trying to forward people’s concerns that are (or were on this forum). I might not know all of the deleted threads or unanswered moderations conversations handled privately.
Maybe there are no more like those, maybe there are far more, that I cannot say.
Yet I’ve seen some after just a few months on this forum and it is (apparently) also why some people left some time ago (because we had several waves of people leaving this forum[2]).
Again, coming cool-headed and with good intentions with that lengthy message of mine.
Some people behind me are not as chill but I’m filtering some of their words haha. 
Moreover, since we’re trying to do things in the open here I’ll take the liberty to potentially summon a few of the people that could be interested into this topic (given that I am not sure how the split into another thread impacted their notifications).

If not interested/bothered, sorry ahead of time folks.
