Methinks it was a test thread for the photomode competition points system bot.

I was thinking about mentioning it, because I thought, "Hey, a thread gone wrong and they want it deleted" but there seems to be something going on there and I don't know much about it. Wonder why it says delete yet nobody did?
 
And check out those dates. That thread wasn't there a month ago when I was last there, but the dates are all over the place.

Probably because the thread was hidden from view, and I noticed the edit dates go down from the top. Most likely it is a test thread for the PSM (Points system manager), And it was hidden from view and now it's not.

As the name of the original creater of the thread says "PSM" and is a abbreviation as it says as user name P-blablabla...It's probably something to test countings or something. It's a sticky, it says "Do not reply to this thread" and we all know how good the moderators on GTP are, so I'm pretty sure it is something which has been used to test something out 👍
 
Quite a while ago there used to be a points system running for the Photomode Comps, points were awarded depending on how well your picture did each week and they were all tallied up every 5-10 weeks if I remember correctly. It only ran for about 10 weeks I think, but died simply because the competition hosts didn't have the time to be counting scores each week.
The points thread was maintained by the PSM profile (points system manager), the password was known to the competition hosts.
My guess is that one of the comp hosts has gone in and removed all the old scores, leaving an empty thread.

Simple, really :p
