Why??? - was a thread removed?
As stated in Title.
A postings with a count of 40 replies appears to have been removed such as "sanitize" - CENSORSHIP!
Why?
"Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance"

Because pMercury has friends in high places that clean up his messes. It's a bunch of crap, and if you ask me, I'll probably be banned too for standing up to him. But I don't own this board, and I'm not a moderator, and they have the power to do whatever they want, right or wrong.
If I had been a moderator, pMercury would have been gone a long time ago for breaking nearly every rule on this board, but instead he's still here and others have been kicked off. Fair right??

He and I got sideways with each other a week or so ago. He wrote a reply to me stating that free software had a trojan. (Do all? Some?) So I replied that the person who supplied me with the software got it from him. Next he denied that he was supplying free Star Diagnosis, and another reply proved that he was. So I was lied to and made to believe a trojan was on my PC when he knew I had none. That entire exchange has been "sanitized", as you say.

WHAT WE HAVE IS CENSORSHIP!
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient."

I think it's natural to remove any post which did not relate to the Foxwell in the course of making the thread a sticky. So that could explain Seven's posts disappearing.
It's not uncommon for posts to be removed from political discussion forums. But cars? That's unheard of, and absent seriously egregious circumstances, it is inexcusable.
I haven't seen any evidence of censorship here, but if it exists, I'm gone and will post exclusively on Benz World. Compared to this forum it's a snooze fest over there, but you've got Rodney/Rudeney posting there regularly, and he may know more about the R230 than anyone in the southeastern U.S. I can't recall a misdiagnosis on that forum (and I can not say that about ours here, unfortunately.)
If Dudeman or anyone else has information they are not able to share openly on the forum, I would welcome a PM. Of course, if this thread is removed, then that would be all the evidence of censorship that I need.

This morning 03/07/2020 removed, "sanitized".
Is this right?
Is this not "Censorship"!

If the originator of any posting request a thread to be deleted MBworld will allow / delete.
This is MBworld policy?
Please Confirm this?
Thank You

Yes. I can delete this thread if you'd like.
Actually, I've never had time to read MBworld's Official Policy Rule Book. I think it's on my dresser.
Maybe pm our administrator, speedlimit if official verification is needed.

Suppose someone creates a thread which seems to provide a good bit of useful information. To the embarrassment of the originator, further suppose subsequent posts expose the early posts to be wildly inaccurate, and in the course of doing so factually accurate information useful to the membership gets posted. Under this alleged policy, the originator can request the contributions from every member be deleted and the valued contributions from some members are completely lost.

I am incredulous. If true, this is seriously wrongheaded, and if every member knew of this policy, you'd lose a significant number of members.

So it looks like you can post whatever you want, true or false, lead people down the wrong path, even cheat them, then once you're caught and exposed, all you have to do is ask a moderator to wipe the thread, and any evidence of wrong doing is gone! Convenient.
Sounds like the current administration...

Meanwhile, I had posted that I would email Starfinder for the R230 as a small file. If not for reading this thread started by Joseph I would never have realized that my post with its offer had disappeared from the forum. SO, if an administrator is going to delete a thread (which should be prohibited), anyone who contributed ought to be notified and have the ability to retrieve what they contributed.

I have always removed a thread upon request of the OP; there is no automated way to PM everyone who contributed. There are always exceptions such as a very long thread that evolved into a different subject or a for sale thread that is being disputed. We prefer to keep them open but it is the content originator’s decision. Thank you.
