1st off, it is up to an Admin to decide whether that thread was merged correctly, not any of you. If they deem the person who merged it wrong, I'm sure they will talk with them directly, and make sure that it doesn't happen again.
2nd, anyone banned was banned for a reason. Complaining about moderating actions in the middle of a thread, thus taking it off topic is NOT acceptable. You guys were warned about taking it up with AJ and George.
3rd, just because you can't see the posts anymore doesn't mean they were deleted. They are safe in a place that the Admins can have a look at them, and review your complaints. They did not belong in the middle of a thread in the main forum.
Do not assume to know everything that we are doing, or call us out like you do. If you have issue with something a mod does, bring it up with AJ or George... it does not belong in the main forum.
