Have you noticed that some posts are being removed? For example there was one posted yesterday about revenue decline and one today about funny nicknames and both are gone. What’s up with that?

The PowerPoint slides were hosted on Imgur. The images on Imgur were taken down, as were some of the links here, but not all. Then it was put up again and it's still up. Weird.
Funny! None of the PPT slides violated these rules...yet they were taken down

Again, not saying I agree/disagree, but those are their rules.
I think most stuff here has been pretty light-hearted, but who knows. I've been confused as to why some posts remain and some posts get zapped. Also, since when is c-ap a swear word?!
Thank you for pointing the rules. I am out! Don’t like the censorship and not sure I can trust this site anymore. Be careful and best of luck. Ciao!
If your read their rules here, any sort of name calling, bullying or calling out people by their real name has the potential to be removed. Not saying I agree or disagree, but it is their site and they can do with it what they want.
Fear of being sued disguised as free speech. Classy move!
Free speech? Do you not understand what that means? The administrators of this site have freedom to moderate as they see fit.
Are you kidding me? These a--holes are destroying lives of thousands of people and we can’t hold them accountable? Are we afraid to hurt their feelings? And what about free speech? My guess is that the website administration is afraid of being sued by Louie!
They delete anything when you mention someone’s Name. That’s a no no here.
