Re: help!
Some times the mods/Scratch Team remove threads, because of a few reasons:
- It might be gossip about another user
- Some people might be offended by it (eg, discrimination)
- It seems like commercial advertisement or a scam
- It talks about something that can cause arguments (religion, politics, etc)
- It's a "spam" topic (a topic with no purpose - eg "Be random here")
- It's a text based game (which can be posted at http://scratch.mit.edu/tbgforums)
There are a few more, but I can't think of them...

If it's extreme, we delete it. If it's gossip about a specific user, we remove the names and close it. It really depends... But we generally use our common sense 
On topic - what threads get deleted? Are you sure they're not just getting pushed off to the next page by newer posts?
