We can. Looking back at it, the thread was definitely contentious and should have been shut down sooner, but it was low traffic so was not on the top of my posts to pay attention to. In the future, please report such posts more quickly and we'll make sure we get eyes on as soon as possible.
As you look through the deleted post, I hope I handled it appropriately, as I have been putting forth effort to not get hot-headed from others just looking to start a fight (so to speak). Trust me, it does take some restraint from insulting or cursing, as that is the go-to knee-jerk reaction. I really tried to be civil, even going as far as explaining how if the intentions were to remind me it was ALL old news, it could have been done w/ a private message, whereas in public, a different reason to speak it publicly is made known. Hope that makes sense.
I do have to say I share your worries, but the reality is that we cannot constantly look at the threads, in part due to real life. This is why we ask you to, if possible, report any potentional issues you see. I have looked through the thread and with it now deleted it is impossible for me to hit the problematic post as the user itself cannot even see it anymore. However I will send them a message about it.
We do try, absolutely. But the reports are invaluable to us, so if something goes wrong, report it. It presents us with a quick view of what's going on where, so we don't have to read every new post 24/7.

I went ahead and deleted the thread I created about product images and art for Ixalan. Seams some would rather public ally make you out to be a fool and point you had made a mistake. Wish a mod could have intervened right away instead of where it escalated too. If the troll/flamer really wanted to point out that I made a mistake, he/she could have sent a private message & I most likely would have removed the thread.
Is this the message we want to send others? Try to do something helpful, but instead get get their reputation smeared? No wonder new posters get disenfranchised with this site. I've noticed not as many posts going up. Market Street used to be booming with conversation; but now it feels like a coal mining city that has been abandoned.
Hey mods, as I appreciate the time & effort you put in... but if something doesn't look right, it is your job to intervene before it escalates. I imagine there is one of you at any given time to monitor the threads. Just hope one can control a situation much sooner.
