The rule in question for a thread about a national crisis would fall under our "Highly Controversial Topic" rule, specifically on politics. Therefore the thread had to be deleted.

Highly Controversial Topics
These conversations tend to lead to violent outbursts based on strong personal beliefs. Posts which contain political agendas, religious or other highly controversial topics will be removed and action will be taken depending on the severity. These topics may contain (but are not limited to) beliefs/opinions on religion, political subject matter (i.e., new governmental laws, candidates, etc.), abortion, se*ual orientation and/or highly controversial current events.

Also, please remember that ALL moderator/administrator decisions are final and will not be changed once the decision has been made. To back this statement is a quote from the site policies.

If you have any questions about why a post was edited/deleted, it would be better to PM a moderator or administrator about the violation rather than to post it here.
