I think that even i had explained enough in this thread. Ok, i repeat again if you want.
Spoiler:
This is the complete info i'm aware of, based on my talking to both sides' representatives. Is there anything new in this? I think i already told most of it in my posts in this thread.

You had the explanation available for days before the whole thread was deleted.

If you have idea of what happened, see NoQ's explanation. But if you think you can engage staff in a public debate over particular moderation decisions, then you are wrong. It does not, and cannot, work that way.

As I have seen, and as it should be. Admin/Mods debate other Admin/Mods. Users take up discussion with said Admin/Mods against actions, though these discussions quickly attract trolls and flamers.

You are right on this one. It can't work this way.

Either :
A) Moderators act with a behavior that is not subject to debate.
B) You use dictatorship and hide informations to people.

I'm not debating about the decision to stop the tournament. And if you read correctly, I don't believe zydonk do it either. I don't care about D. at all. And I dont care about the tournament I was not even in it. I'm complaining about the way the decision was executed : Trough censorship.

I don't know were you come from, but in my culture, it's widely accepted that the rare benefits from censorship do not worth to accept it existence in the first place. I will not even argue about if it was right or not in this case, I'm complaining it's wrong all the way around.

I hope you understand that.

from my point of view problem was in lack of justification, but NoQ managed to formulate this justification
we are bad guys from tournament's organizers and we bypassed the rules :)
turned to dark side and twisted by D. guy :roll:

Iluvalar: It was the way in which the decision was announced that irked me. Even then, I could see there was justification for the shut down, though I would have been happier with a more explicit explanation.

The point now is to see that this kind of high handed behaviour doesn't happen again. As Per argues, we can't change the past, only learn from it.

allowing to create thread on forum with tournament's result
Yeah, that's sort of enough. It was known that such thread will only be allowed if certain conditions are fulfilled.
why game developers can dictate the rules of how to play and what players able to play
They don't. You still play, right? Only the forum thread part was affected.
