Blackout!
On a conspiracy site, when a thread disappears it's only natural to assume that there's some sinister reason for it.
I mean hey, it's
ATS, right? The Government must be trying to suppress Alex Jones!
But no, that's not how it works around here. When we take action, it's
always because of a
T&C issue.*
And, as demonstrated here, it's okay to ask if you're not sure what's going on.
When something like this happens, please be patient, because sometimes it takes us a while to respond to questions or complaints.
There's a lot to do around here, and we're only human, you know.
* "Check out this link" posts are about one step above spamming ads for cell phone service or viagra. We discourage them and similar posts with this
message on every post page, right above the text entry field and below the headline (if present):
MEMBERS: Do not simply post news articles in the forums without comment. If you feel inclined to make the board aware of current events, please
post the first paragraph, a link to the entire story, AND your opinion, twist or take on the news item.
It gets ignored frequently.
Sometimes we trash them, sometimes we ask the member to add some comments, sometimes we let them go, but whatever action we take, it's not
our
fault when a member posts contrary to the rules. :shk:
