What should I post in Game Mode Rules?

Threads that fit Game Mode Rules look like “CardMan Mode: proposed ruleset for a clean-account run”, “Draft format — five packs, no trading, highest score wins” and “Should a hardcore mode wipe your collection on a bad pull”. Anyone with an account can start a thread; reading is open to everyone.

How are threads ordered, and can I search?

Sort with the tabs on any sub-forum: Active shows the most recently replied-to threads first, New sorts by posting date, and Top sorts by score. The search box at the top of the forum finds threads by title and body, either within this sub-forum or across all of them.

What happens to a removed post?

Removal is always soft and reversible. A removed comment with surviving replies becomes a tombstone so the conversation beneath it stays readable, and a removed thread stops being reachable but is never destroyed, so a moderator can restore it.
