The concerning thread was intended as a proposal for a new sub-biome for PG. This topic was covered very specifically in the title and core text, with the exception of the last sentence. In that last sentence, the original poster added a sidenote suggesting archer NPCs for PG. This latter note did not show any clear relationship with the rest of the thread, but nonetheless many posters thought it would be fitting to only respond to that note, ignoring the topic of the proposal. I intervened by deleting off topic posts as is our common practise and as in agreement with our rules, that explicitely state that off topic posts deviations are not allowed in concrete, specific and original suggestion threads. As apparently almost all other wiki staff protested against this intervention I decided to revert those deletions and let it slide, at the risk of further derailment of the thread. As the latter clearly occured and even in to a more severe extent, while posters started to discuss other NPC and Gondor related topics, I decided to once again step in and delete all off topic posts and remove the sidenote made by the original poster to minimise the chances of any new future derailment and to clearly show that original posters also have a responsibility in focussing in their post. As I explained in staff Facebook chat and in a post explaining my intervention, there was no indication whatsoever in the first post nor in any later posts in that thread by the original poster that the two subjects were related and that the sidenote held any relevance to the topic of the proposal. When BlazingDave72 made a post in that thread addressing my intervention I deleted that with the notification that such should be addressed on the involved staff member wall, as indicated in our rules.
