Mods Closing Rule Abiding Threads Because Of Personal BiasAgainst Roman Reigns?

I posted a thread ( http://www.wrestlingforum.com/gener...fans-internet-before-he-won-royal-rumble.html ) which didn't break any of the rules on this forum and it was closed by a mod/admin for some reason. At first I didn't realize and just thought that it was a glitch and I noticed that I had excluded information from the title so I thought that I'd improve the thread and post it again in an altered way.

I made this thread ( http://www.wrestlingforum.com/gener...anged-so-suddenly-regarding-roman-reigns.html ) which isn't the exact same thread as claimed by the mod as it includes new quotes/data and the subject has been changed in a way. Then it got closed before anybody could even comment on it which was frustrating to me as it took time to gather and quote/post all this data and people were asking me questions through my reps concerning the last thread since it was locked so they didn't have time to ask them on the new thread.

I then thought that maybe these threads are being locked because they had to do with Roman Reigns and that the people moderating these threads disliked Reigns so much that they don't even want his fans discussing him. I then searched for Reigns threads and was astounded that so many of them were locked usually by the same moderators.

Why are these threads getting deleted when they aren't breaking the rules and aren't trolling yet threads specifically designed to attack Reigns fans and are breaking the rules are left up? If the moderators dislike Reigns so much then why don't they just read the thread title decide not to enter the thread and just let everybody else try to have a mature conversation?

A few days ago someone posted a similar thread with early comments on the Internet from people talking about The Rock and the thread was left up. I'm convinced that this is because of a bias towards Reigns since The Rock thread was left alone, probably because The Rock is over with WWE fans of all sorts and it's the cool thing to not like Reigns which is why so many Reigns threads are deleted.

How come threads like these are also left unmoderated, even ones with swear words in the title?

Also I find it funny that threads that aren't in the favor of a stereotypical IWC favorite are usually shut down, maybe if I started attacking Reigns my threads would stay open?

Because there's a massive Roman Reigns sticky thread in the RAW section. It's not some conspiracy against Reigns or his fans, it wouldn't have to be because 80% of this forum think he's shit anyway, there wouldn't have to be any hiding or lying.

They were closed because you didn't bring anything new to the table and you didn't even ask anything. You just posted a bunch of quotes.

This pretty much gives every reason you need as to why those threads were closed.

WWE Section Rules said:
If a thread has a weak or dumb subject manner, or is just a random thought with seemly no reason, it will be closed. If a moderator doesn't think a thread has enough depth, it will be closed. If a moderator thinks a thread should not be open, it will be closed. This includes topics that have been done to death. Usually the moderator who closed the thread will leave a closing remark and you can PM the moderator if you have any questions or concerns about the decision. With that said, remember sometimes the reason a thread gets closed is self-explanatory if it is blatantly worthless.

That thread actually provided something to discuss.

You're thread was a bunch of random quotes of people who liked Reigns (and for all we know still do). There was nothing to discuss.

Also just to be clear, I closed it and would of closed it no matter who you made it about so forget about this Reigns bias bullshit.
