Ok, so for a long time now, I found that the most interesting topics are almost always deleted by mods because it is too hot for them to handle. And for years, I wanted to do something about it. And I finally did it. I have ran the script for some days, and this is what I found they are deleting over a crawl of two days

Racist threads
* When will a Malay person be recognized and win a Nobel prize??

(Corona) Spread fear thread
* Doc on front lines of SARS in 2003 spills the beans on the G
* Nigeria warns over mystery disease which has left 15 dead and infected dozens more
* [GPGT] Jiu Hu Newspaper's headlines - Malaysia may restrict Singaporeans from entering Malaysia

Protect PAPPIE threads
* PAP is evidently staffed by incompetent people
* https://sharedhere.com/thread/view/mJ4NgqgoKE9AvcHtGtVTMm

And threads that really did not deserve to be removed
* Who using Edge Chromium?
* Song bo! To the prankster that drink and put back shelves
* Very surprised to hear that prostitute can be "raped"
* Ch8 got E cup Chiobu where tight tight bodycon

---

Anyways, there are a lot more and here's the full list for 4 days of data. I crawled for just four days only. Sooner or later, there will be some awesome thread that they will delete but I will have records of it. Ask me anything!
dun remember deleting any of this.

Hi! Then how come they disappeared? BTW, am I allowed to discuss threads that are deleted?
Some of it are clone accounts or spammers that create threads in bulk...

However, if some of them are really useful then we can revive the thread

Most of them aren't, right? Looking through the list, I'd think at most 20-30% are clone accounts. The rest seem fine to me. The SAR21 one is worth deleting because that leans towards terrorism. But other than that, most of them seem aligned with the kind of things we discuss here on EDMW.

Not I delete one though

But 1 was inappropriate gif, the other one had inappropriate thread title

I dunno about you, but if a clone account comes to EDMW and opens almost all threads with borderline nudes and inappropriate gifs then we need to deal with it isn't it

Thanks for the heads up. I have been a member for more than 10 years and that I didn't know. Happy to use that more often

The 2nd last one is deserved, the rape one is victim blaming, or trying to make this place look bad.

Agreed on the clone account. Fresh accounts can be better dealt with but I'm sure you guys are on it.

But that said, I appreciate this discussion on accountability as historically I have experienced TOO many threads being deleted even though the discussion was perfectly legit (to me). Which is why I got around to building a list like such.
