It really wasn't 90% of the posts being constructive and well thought out. Also, one of your posts was removed because it was part of a thread that was removed. It wasn't your post specifically. Had the original thread been as constructive as you mentioned, it would have stayed up. It eventually turned in to a lot of posts that break the rules and was largely non-constructive. It also wasn't really making a difference as again, we know how you all feel. More posts on top of an already lengthy thread isn't going to change that.
As far as being more transparent goes, I tried that with the True Broadcast camera thread. It wasn't as well received as I hoped. Normally, our transparency just results in more toxic responses. Which doesn't give us motivation to be more transparent.
