It seems another post of mine got deleted, which I supposed is fair in hindsight.

But now that I've more time to think about it, isn't the entire purpose of this thread a trap for post deletion and eventual user ban?

Shinhwalee wrote:==What Happened?== The Chinese Warship-based Character Mobile Game, "A.L." had used the term "Kanmusu (艦娘)" on their lastest Advertisement. The Advertisement was immediately removed, and they had published an apology. An administrator posted a news report that, for all intent and purpose, is irrelevant to Kancolle as a game and leans towards being an off-topic subject.

In fact, he/she makes clear reference to a chinese warship-based character mobile game that clearly doesn't exist within this realm of the wikia. Worse still, he/she inserted a manga page referencing an unknown character interacting with our beloved Kancolle characters in one of his/her subsequent comment.

This misleads other users into making comments in response to said non-existing game, resorting to alternative terms when they realized there is a blanket ban on the sheer mention of said game. As a result, other administrators lead a silent crusade to sweep said posts under the carpet, garnering unnecessary attention and animosity.

I find news like these interesting as I don't browse reddit and am oblivious to what's happening outside of the game, and I look forward to seeing more of them. However, I would like to implore that the administrator creates these kinds of threads in the off-topic section, where it belongs and where others could at least mention said game that is clearly being referenced in the topic.

On a final note, please either lock this thread or move it to off-topic. Clearly, the only thing we could add to the topic at this point is witty one-liners.

Note: The original quote is edited as it triggers warning on the banned word.
