Funny. I feel like that old conservative moderator who used to steeple did most of the deleting.
(when you write his username, you get deleted quicker)
Makes complete sense based on all the censorship. I wish there were more of a balance - recruit 5+ champions of free to balance it out

I agree that the posts about AW are out of bounds and should be deleted.
That said, KT always gets brought into those threads by AW defenders even if she was never mentioned. I have pointed that out often with something as innocuous as “why are you bringing KT into the thread” and my post gets deleted. This happens even if I do not mention AW.
Both are young women just trying to do their best. The libelous crap that is posted on this site about both of them is disgusting and disturbing.

^ Good example of a disingenuous toolbox being racist.

Who is constantly reporting posts? That would be interesting to know. Are they random accounts? Registered accounts? It is virtually certain that a small number of users are doing nearly all the reporting, meaning they are not representative of the broader community. Sure, delete posts with vulgar profanity or personal attacks that are beyond the pale and/or completely lacking in evidence. But a large number of posts get reported and deleted simply because they include facts that hurt the feelings of liberals.
Rojo talks about it on the subscribers podcast, that there is a concerted effort to mass delete posts concerning one particular athlete and his engineers can't stop it.

My post about Krissy Gear making defamatory statements about Silva was deleted for being 'discriminatory or bigoted'.

I won’t dispute what you’ve said about those posts getting deleted but the reverse is also true. Plenty of posts that include facts that might hurt the feelings of conservatives are also getting deleted.
Additionally, I’ve seen entire threads premised on lies getting deleted because the OP of the thread gets called on the lies and realizes that the thread isn’t going how they hoped it would. More than likely, in an effort to “save face,” the OP self-reports the thread.
If it's true that reported posts are being deleted even if they don't violate guidelines, that would suggest that the number of posts being reported exceeds the ability of the mods to handle. That could be an inevitable result of having a forum that is both anon-friendly and moderated for content.
After all, those two things aren't really compatible. Most anon-friendly places make Letsrun look like an island of sanity. Which is really saying something, considering how unhinged this place is.
Conclusion: rojo's vision for what this forum should be is at least somewhat incompatible with reality. Sorry, my betrusted friend - deep down, you know it's true. ;-)
