Default Why was this deleted?

I had a link, and snippets from the piece but not the entire piece.

If you didn't like certain responses from other posters, you could have deleted them, but there was no reason to delete my post.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/other/msgs/1049911.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/other/msgs/1049911.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default I don't understand why we can't post simple, valid news effecting us & the country.

There was nothing in my post that was offensive. The mods, need to go after the trolls instead of those who make posts other than **** and other crap.

As to other TOS guidelines, I made sure not to post the entire article (it wasn't even an aticle, it was an Op-Ed piece), w/ only enough information to get the relevent points across.

I would appreciate an answer.

Default How? Link & quoted section of article posted.

No more than what others have done since the guidelines were made clearer.

Default No copy paste allowed. Only links. OT is FINALLY normal again.

Don't add fuel to the political fire.

Default Some mods don't understand that under the concept of "Fair Use" of copyrighted material,

limited excerpts may be quoted.

Instead, there's this blanket "delete it all" attitude sometimes displayed.

Default Because moderators can delete anything..

that appears like it will create a sh*tstorm, particularly in relation to the war. We've been over this before. It's that plus probably the snippet of copyrighted material.

Excuse me? I post a link to one of the most respected newspapers in the USA and it's up for deletion? Perhaps you need to delte the messages from those that start the "sh*tstorm".

Isn't Daphne a mod? If so, I did follow her directions to a tee.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/feedback/msgs/12789.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/feedback/msgs/12789.phtml</a</li></ul>
