I was one of the posters of the Thai Airways Thread, as happens in a busy forum such as this, someone else (SLF in this case) posted the same news from the same source at the same time. I didn't realise until later otherwise I would have deleted mine.
Having said that, it does appear to me that there are a lot of threads being closed/moved although this is probably a result of PPRUNE being so successful rather than 'content control' by the various moderators.
