posts being removed?

[Hollybaby]

Under what conditions are posts removed?

I have several times witnessed valid and relevant posts mysteriously disappearing whenever they contained a negative reference to an advertiser on this board.

I am simply wondering what people are and are not allowed to say here, and the justification.

Input from Mods would be appreciated

Don't know?

It just happens I've been a member for a year and it just happens??

Usually the mods will remove posts if they know (ie verify via IP addresses) that someone has posted a fraudulent review. Other posts may be removed if they are deemed inflamatory or in some cases illegal. Usually you can find out more information by going to the penalty box and reading why some people get banned.

My $0.02.

Post will also get removed if you call the Moderator a pimp, even if it was a joke

I'm serious...

You are either making things up or you don't follow the board very closely.

If a person is banned, all threads they started are removed. Perhaps you are thinking of a thread started by a person who has been banned.

I'd agree with you, but you're wrong.

Banning and threads being deleted are mutually exclusive. All sorts of shit will get deleted by the mods and the member still stays active (I've noticed a few of my more grumpy posts have gone away) and likewise a troll or other annoying fuck can get banned and still have some or all of their posts left behind.

hmm,
well not going to argue with a former mod. Most of my missing posts were in threads that were started by a banned person and the whole thread was removed. I have noticed that some posts by banned people seem to stay in threads that were started by others.
