Can we ask why threads are deleted or removed that don't violate standard and rules? Or is this just a moderator decision we shouldn't inquire about?

Threads are deleted if they fall short of the CBR Forums rules and guidelines; including reasons relating to quality of discussion, trolling, civility and so on. Threads are not deleted lightly nor are they deleted permanently (they're soft deleted, so that mods/super mods/admins can still see them, to make sure the deletion was justified).
As a general rule, we don't comment on specific deletions as experience has clearly demonstrated that it's a fairly unproductive exercise. Usually it goes something like "Thread creator decries the decision to delete. Mods state why deletion happened. Thread creator calls Mods nazis/facists/whatever. Thread creator gets banned for uncivil behaviour. Thread creator creates another account which (usually) gets quickly IP Banned."
