Censorship

[Prisoner 24601]

There was a fairly interesting thread started this morning re. some pending cases and decisions around the us election and specifically Arizona state. Nothing too controversial, definitely interesting. I was just responding to it when a notification appeared that it had been deleted. Why would one of the mods delete it? Are we not allowed to talk about events happening in the world? Which events are approved for discussion and which are not?

You clearly must have violated their community guidelines:

Sorry, but can't answer this, as there appears to be no reports/closure or deletions relating to any threads of this nature in this morning.

Can you remember the thread title? that may help.

Nope I'm in charge of the broom cupboard on PH and there's nothing other than my broom in there.

The thread in question had AZ in capitals in the title

I sense a subtle change in US political moderation since the new owners came on board.
Perhaps understandable?

There is a bit of discussion in the Trump thread this morning about the Arizona elections, some of it using the term AZ.

Not really.
No change in how US political threads are moderated.

I do find that some of the unecessary negative in the Joe Biden appreciation thread can detract from what is one of the better threads on here.

Sorry, it was me. I removed it and suggested it was reposted in the Trump thread as that seemed the best fit.
