I've been here 26 years, going on 27, and as far as I know, nobody has ever been given an explanation as to why their valid post has been removed. That's between the person who hit the abuse button, and the mod that removes the post. It's their little secret.
I stopped caring a long time ago if my comments are removed. But I do notice when other people's posts have been removed on a thread, and wonder, especially on threads pertaining to the Bidens, what they could have possibly said that would cause it to be removed. It seems to happen quite frequently these days.
I've come to the conclusion that there are some people here that abuse the abuse button, simply because they don't like a meme or comment, even if it doesn't violate the rules. And it seems that those who abuse the abuse button, do so mostly with impunity.
I’ve been here since 1998 and I’ve never once pushed the abuse button. I figure if I can’t take the heat I’d better stay out of the kitchen. I’m surprised more ppl don’t feel that way and instead go crying to mommy and daddy.
You and I signed up on the first day of registration: 11-28-1997. FR is not like the FR of old. Too many trolls. But it is still a good place to get information and news.
Agreed. I have fingers left counting on one hand the number of times I’ve hit it myself.
Including one the other day for a resident troll’s post about a video with a fake headline they obviously didn’t watch.
Funny thing: The post is still up.
