Interesting post that got pulled...
I'm not sure why that article got pulled. But I did find out one thing just yesterday. I posted an article early in the morning prior to going for my morning workout at Bally's. Almost IMMEDIATELY, the article got pulled. It was a very harmless and normal type post - nothing ugly or controversial, etc. I thought that maybe a technical problem occurred and so I reposted it and left the house. When I got to work it got pulled again!

To make a long story short, I FR mailed the Sidebar Moderator to tell them about the article and inquire why was it pulled? The reason?: It was a duplicate article and she had noticed it as a duplicate and killed the article. No big deal really, but I found it interesting that they were doing that now. Her reply was they don't usually do that but when they sit there for hours monitoring articles being posted and they notice a dupe, they might pull them. She said they can't catch them all and articles get posted multiple times. I told her that I always search but the search function is not very effective here on FR, but I'd continue to search anyway prior to posting.

Thanks for the bump, CR! ;-)

Thanks for explaining.

Sometimes nothing at all is wrong with a post. If they are running out of bandwidth they will sometimes look for something to pull to save space. Or sometimes someone has said something very radical or used foul language, not your fault of course, but they will pull the thread.
