SteveStrummerUK Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Quick query to any moderator who may read this: Did my sensible, educational, thought provoking and interesting thread concerning the declassified Russian documentary about the Tsar Bomb get er..... um........ nuked*? Fair enough - I have absolutely no problem whatsoever if it was removed for its 'non-music-related' subject matter, but could I politely ask that the rules are enforced fairly and across the board going forward? A cursory view down the first couple of page of the CH reveals a litany of other non-music-related threads that have been completely left alone, and some remain whose only relevance to music seems to be the vague, if not intangible, inclusion of a musical instrument in the title. Thanks. * The aforementioned irony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane_B. Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Oh. So it hasn't been dead here lately, they've just been deleting all the threads again. I give up trying to figure out what's ok and what's not because like you said ... the censorship is not equal across the board. And that doesn't bother me at all. IOW I'm not sitting herr crying that Billy can do x y z but Tommy can't. I just post what I want and say what the ***** I want and let the automatic censor and admin do what they want. I've had a lot going on lately that I'd love to tell you guys about but it's not music related so I can't. But it's why I haven't been around.

kennywtelejazz Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) FWIW Just about every other thread I seem to post in gets nuked so let me give you an example of what we are up against . What we have here is a comparison of what happens when you let a bean counter take charge and monitor all forms of creative self expression You start out with this . Then after run their little Bean Counter Power trip algorithm We end up with this ? Kenny Edited August 20, 2021 by kennywtelejazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I can confirm I had the same conversation. The mods can't delete a thread. Only lock. But I imagine they have direct contact with those who can delete and can request a deletion.
