Surprisingly while that inflammatory post remains I had one of my own posts moderated today; a very light-hearted post with two other MR users over what constitutes "next-gen" and it was all in fun.
The point of the thread where your post was deleted was not to define what "next-gen" is the point of that thread was discussing how much developers should like the Wii due to cheaper development costs. There was a brief comment about some wording in the article sighted and that led to a tangent about the definition of "next-gen".
The reported post was an opinion about the game that the thread is about. It might not have been a very favorable opinion but it was still on topic.
