they’re not hiding anything, but it could use a megathread flair. it’s just that that was the most popular post about the price hike.

Yes, they are attempting to hiding it. They even deleted the post that they said they were going to leave open as a megathread at this point.
This is presumably the reddit mods though. It is odd that the reddit is getting censored whilst the official forum isn’t.
I’m not sure the deletion of the megathread was done by a mod. In looking at the post (using the link) the username has been deleted so this might have been done by the OP.
Looks like they have now deleted the mega thread. Going by the stats from the poll on another post here, they’re due to lose $18k in revenue (not accounting for grandfathered pricing). I suspect this could be more.
yes when the username area says deleted, the user deleted the post. the image is also gone which doesn’t happen when a mod removes a post (i literally just checked)

Here is apparantly the new pinned thread here.
And this is the original thread, comments still visible.
(I don’t use Reddit)
I tried to create a poll and it was automatically removed.
Could it be some sort of Automatic Moderation? I googled and it led me to this:
Most likely yes, if the post was immediately removed. They may have set up AutoModerator to remove any references to pricing for any new posts.
Source: Again, too much time on Reddit. Have setup AutoModerator many many times.
If you listen very carefully, you can hear the moderator-butt-hurt from here.
I wished they would do that here…I’m getting tired of the newly created VIP Price increase threads. They should all be being merged into one mega thread here too.

The problem is that it effectively ends any interactions and just turns into a series of complaints screamed into the void.
For things that are genuinely a repeat, with no new content, sure merge it, but it is impossible to follow individual threads of discussion when the threads are ripped out.
