    I made a thread in OT for the band Prodigy (LINK http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/29216910/the-prodigy?page=0 ). Now, at its time of creation, i planned to make a poll for it, but i was unable to because the 24 hour period between my last poll was not up yet...... but, about 20 minutes later, I was able to make a poll again, so I made a second Prodigy thread with a poll, and I even stated an entire sentence to the MODs saying that "This is a REDO thread, not a spamming REPEAT, so please do not cite me for spamming, because this is a redo of my original Prodigy thread." The thread gets deleted anyway. This happens a lot with the MODs and I am sick and TIRED of it. Its bullcrap. Its like the MODs don't know whats spamming and whats not.

    It looks like the acting moderator removed the seond one without a penalty, so there is that. But why didn't you just edit your original post to add the poll and your music selections instead of making a second one? Or at the very least, change the title of the first one to ask a mod to close it?

    The reason the extra thread was removed was because you had already made a thread about the exact same topic, and any changes you wanted to add on simply could've been edited into your initial post. Moderators and admins have always removed or closed duplicate threads in the past, so as not to clutter up the boards with multiple threads talking about the same thing.

    Hopefully =, this explaination clears things up for you. I'm gonna go ahead and close this, but if you have any follow-up questions, feel free to PM me.
