Not all the mods agree with your rules and delete for many reasons, mostly emotional.

Then tell me someone applied your rules before closing and now removing a thread?
And how does a thread about how boring its become here get deleted when your rules were not violated?
Very few things should get deleted or closed and things should be allowed to run their course. Plus it's fun to watch how it turns out.
