Maybe this context will help with recent questions of post deletions:
Exceptionally persistent troll(s) came into this game thread to create noise and confusion on a number of topics, plus they invaded some user profiles (as some of you have mentioned.) Per the Moderator/Staff notice in the OP, we're already sensitive to trolling of this thread.
Sometimes, the original reason for clearing a bad actor's posts will cascade to the collateral posts (i.e., quotes of the problem discussions, etc.) when we're working fast - that's why some people saw "flame" as the rationale earlier. Some of those post deletions were actually "cleanup" of the flames, but it was the same general purpose: minimize further opportunities for spread of the original fires.
Hope that helps - you can direct followup discussion to DM or other means of contact, if desired.
