I haven't heard anything about this and it seems that the original thread has been deleted. I'd like to know more about what happened but now all I have to go off of is your post and the tinfoil comments. I'd like to also use RadarX's comment for information but:

The thread was non-constructive and provides no useful feedback to our development team.

Doesn't exactly give me much to work with as that's the justification I've seen most often for closing any thread. There's no malevolence behind it, just that it gives me nothing to work with to figure out what happened and if I should ignore it as all the tinfoil hat posts tell me I should.

In fact, closing the thread was probably a poor way of dealing with it simply because closing it draws more attention. If you want something killed don't dam it up because human nature will be drawn to it. It's like a large button with "Don't Push" written above in red. Instead point out logical problems with it such as (and I'm guessing the problem was that people thought that there were two version of the game out the release and the beta) pointing to server costs, data flow, and asking people to check on their own and report back if people who had done the 'fix' and those who had not were able to play together. The community would have discovered that it was bollocks and then derided the subject into oblivion. Instead, you get this.

There's also something to be said for as to why someone would think this but that would make this post longer than it already is.
