I'm not surprised it got deleted, it was an anti-TastyTrade thread. Constructive criticism is OK, but that thread was full of false accusations.
I've seen a lot of tastytrade and didn't really see any falsehoods in the thread? Lots of concepts were called and demonstrated to be wrong, but false?I'm not surprised it got deleted, it was an anti-TastyTrade thread. Constructive criticism is OK, but that thread was full of false accusations.
Examples?
The thread has been deleted so I can't link to any examples. What concepts were demonstrated to be wrong?

After investigating one of the members in that thread based on some complaints we received, it was clear that member was here for one reason only, and that was to bash TastyTrade. He had contributed over 440 posts to ET, and every single one of them were bashing Tom Sosnoff and/or TastyTrade in that one thread.
He obviously has some major negative baggage with TastyTrade and is using ET solely as a means to retaliate against them. Using ET strictly as a soapbox to bash another company is not something that's allowed here. Sure, I can see a couple of posts here and there to express an opinion, but over 440 posts all about the exact same person/company, and all are negative? Imagine if it were you and you stumbled across a website where one person had posted nothing but negative things about you... not once, not 10 times, but over 400 times! Sorry but that's stalker territory and not behavior I'm very enthused about facilitating.

The most recent was that selling "high probability" strangles is the way to go. Their own research, even from early Fall 2014 shows the superiority of selling straddles instead.The thread has been deleted so I can't link to any examples. What concepts were demonstrated to be wrong?
When things like this get glossed over by TT it makes one wonder what else may be glossed over? Beside P/L, because it's about engagement (activity) not P/L (accomplishment).
Why does it indicate that the poster in question has 117 other ET posts?
It would have made more sense though to delete this guy's posts and ban him from the website after warning. Instead of deleting the entire thread.

It doesn't work like that. Many of his posts were replies to others or vice versa. I can't just delete his posts and leave all those other posts up because the thread would make no sense due to so many posts having no context. Besides, I don't have the time nor the desire to manually pick through a 100-page thread one post at a time in an effort to clean it up.
