We routinely read the General Discussion boards, and deal with the concerns raised in them - we definitely take constructive criticism. For AQ, I can point to this week's release as one where we significantly changed a release based on feedback - this is simply the most recent example I know of. There will be criticism of this choice, and we will follow that criticism as well. (Note: criticism is not the same as complaint.) The change was the result of a discussion that occurred in the AQ GD board, and belonged there. There's really no need for a separate board for it; indeed, it would not be overstating the case too much for me to say that many of the threads in the General Discussion boards can be seen as constructive criticism threads if you look at them the right way - they are all feedback, and that tells us what parts of the game are well liked and what parts of the game could stand improvement. One thing to remember is that if there is already a place for something, it goes in that place - for example, if there is something in a release that struck you wrong and there is already a thread for that release, you need to use that thread. This is a common reason for new threads to be deleted. Another reason is that some threads are simply not suited to discussion - for example, ones that lead to flaming or trolling every time they come up, or ones where the original poster does not actually allow for discussion - the point, after all, is discussion, not petition. There are a number of other reasons, as well, and you should have been told why each time a thread you started was deleted.
