Were you wrong to imply certain things? Possibly, I would have used different wording. Either way though, by them removing it, that in itself implies that the problem is more substantial than they want people to know about.
If it was a fluke problem and not a major issue, it would unfold here as;
OP: Anyone else got a problem with X?
1: Nope
2: My X is fine
3: Been using my X for years
4: Did you ensure that your X is configured right?
5: Did you do this for X?
6: Nope, works fine here
OP: Awesome, thanks! I found that it was actually an issue with Y and unrelated to a hardware issue.
Once that thread occurs, it also is near solid proof that the issue is not a major issue and shows quality instead of problems.
Did they have the right to remove your post? Of course, they pay the server bill you agree to their terms. None-the-less, it is a bit shady.
