Interesting, because it seems like your thread is of a similar-vein. I'm afraid that too many people started using my format in a very careless manner that wasn't conducive and it has convinced the staff to change their tune towards these threads. I cannot operate my thread from within "Off-Topic", that board is absolutely absurd. 80% of the replies since it's been moved are Copy + Paste of my earlier posts within that same thread. Nobody is taking it seriously anymore, nobody is following the rules or actually submitting high-quality posts. The thread has been effectively ruined by the move, so I'm wondering if the intention is to no longer allow these kinds of threads. I'm just looking for an explanation, because I don't want to move it back and cause more work for staff, but I feel like my thread was doing more good than harm.
Same happened with one of my topic. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/open-15-available-submit-your-last-10-posts-additional-1-to-receive-merit-3427922 Not sure if they changed any rules or not.

I've been running this sMerit review thread since the day that merit came out and it has been a fun little project. I originally had posted it in Meta, but this didn't allow for self-moderation and it seemed to be more of a Service anyways so I ended up deciding to make it there. Now it has suddenly, after months of going fine has been moved to "Off-Topic", which I have on my ignore-boards list and do not plan to post in.
I'd like a good explanation for why this has happened, because it doesn't make sense to me.
