What happens to deleted threads and why are they deleted? At the discretion of whom?

So I had commented on an article where the nyt I think, was picking apart trumps debt and insinuating that his acceptance of loans from box/GS was somehow a horrible thing for a presidential nominee to do.

I surfed for a bit and wanted to read what others had written. The topic is completely gone, my comment isn't listed in pings.(my comment was 'and if it was Hillary they'd say the 950 million annual debt from boc/GS was covered plus xx% by annual leases' and then 'remember when Hillary stole priceless antiques from the wh so she could eat like common folk' or something along those lines.)

So where did the topic go? Is this site becoming like GLP and censoring topics? There were 8 other comments on that topic I believe.

Not good if active topics are being trashed if someone doesn't like what's said.

Works for me. LOL

There is a lot of trash out there.

The other day I saw one about another Clinton killing. I follow that stuff, so I clicked and read the article.

It was on some fly-by-night web site, and it’s premise was another DNC operative had possibly been killed.

The article proceeded to describe a gas explosion in Maryland. The residents of the place had smelled and reported gas for weeks. At the time the article was written, the names of the two victims hadn’t even been made public. Nobody knew who they were, much less if they had worked for the DNC.

It was obviously a trash claim. By the time I got back to the forum to warn other folks not to bother, the tread was already gone.

Good.

"bit bucket. Bits are recycleable."


Ah, yes, the old petabyte potty.

And if you have very quick reflexes, you can catch those mischievous bits barreling into the bit bucket, and pull them out and use them again (like you said), but you may find that they have been rearranged just a bit.

(For example, where you once had a zero you might now have a one, and vice-versa.)

The media is shifting into overdrive to take down Trump.
They wish to demoralize his supporters with fake polls
& statistics and outright lies.

Why do we at FR need to spread their "odor of mendacity" (as Big Daddy said)?

Why especially the NYT?

I think it wise to dump these posts, and evidently
Jim Robinson thinks so, too. And it's his ballfield
we are playing on.

Well, I must say all this, the post and replies, has certainly been enlightening! Personally, it was thought that ILLiary had gotten lost, AGAIN, and thinking all the alphabetical characters seen on these pages were copies of her emails, and she was the one who deleted all of them, all 33,000.

HoosierMama, a H/T to you for the new name of our opposition, even of only a variation, it was your original which lead here :)

Deleted threads are ground up into little bits the way tires are shredded to add to NFL football fields. The shredded threads are added to the comments section in our yearly Yahoo football pick’em contests. You should join and play.

Yeah, I don’t like it when my threads get pulled sometimes, but it’s a private site.

Since you’ve been zotted, where the heck is that Darkwing guy?

I didn’t make it a month on GLP before I called them out and got banned. So... I did better here.

I got banned from Democratic Underground . . . twice. I considered it a great honor. Getting banned from the DUMMIES has nothing to do with this thread, but I wanted to brag about my great accomplishment!

If your comments/ observations were memorable why didn’t you think to immortalize them.

I too had some posts and comments deleted. Sadly Freerepublic is becoming more PC and less Free.
