Hi everyone,
I've been driving from Montreal back to Ontario for the last 7 hours or so, I've been reading all the responses but have been unable to reply.
I would like to preface this post by making it clear that it was not my intent to point fingers in my original post.
While I was, and still am upset by the moderators choice to delete posts of this nature. I understand that it is well within the forum rules to do so. I was hopeful that the original post would start a discussion on the ethics of deleting these posts. While it is my belief that information such as this should be shared amongst the masses, I understand many people don't feel the same way I do.
I'm going to touch on a couple of points brought up in this thread:

Some of the posts in this thread make me curious how many of CD's current users know who the moderators are.

Madison, I couldn't agree more. I've been a member for nearly 8 years this is only the 2nd time I have ever had any interaction with a moderator.

Did you ever consider that the moderators might have been working with FIRST to ensure their confidential information was protected?

Karthik, sure I did. I also had lots of other ideas for motive to delete the posts. Take a second to look at this from my end. My posts just started to disappear. No PM's or other forms of communication where left for me with any reason as to why they where being deleted.
Honestly, my first through was that whoever made the mistake of leaking the information in the first place was probably a moderator on CD, perhaps the Reddit FRC community as well and they might be trying to cover their mistake by deleting all posts related to the topic.
Finally, I would like to add that while I did choose to share this information with my team. It really does provide no advantage.
*Rachelle* summed it up perfectly.

With the information found, it would not have helped get a four day head start as we still don't know the rules to the game are or what we are supposed to do with the said ______. With the info I cannot begin designing a robot, and I can still only speculate what exactly the game will be.
