well thought out posts buried

I saw too much of that on digg and mod points abuse on slashdot.org.
The mentality, "My opinion is too rebuplican conservative for my orientation therefor I'm a troll," kept valid, well thought out, posts buried.

Will it be removed completely or World of Warcraft Gold simply locked/archived?

To completely remove it trashes a lot of good information for anyone googling wow topics.
