What is the possibility that this site is run by the government?

Not to mention that our avatars and member names would be lost or stolen too.

Would love to be able to read the Trash section in this forum, to see what ATS mods let us see and let us not see.

A david icke thread I just posted in has just vanished into the ATS trash bin. heh Im sure some here do think david icke is a nutter and his information only deserves the trash bin, but It seemed a decent thread.

I used to dream of being able to sift through the ATS Trash Bin.

Just imagine what sort of arcane, forbidden knowledge it must contain!

Well, now I can, and...

Except for some interesting board drama once in a great while, it's all basically trash.

If you disagree with the decision, please don't hesitate to contact the moderator who trashed the thread, and submit a complaint (Ideas/Complain) if you're not satisfied with the response.

At the very least, if the reason for trashing the thread wasn't included in the U2U you received, the moderator who trashed it shouldn't have any trouble telling you.

No need to wonder about it. We love to answer questions and help members.




Edit: Don't worry about ATS censoring David Icke. He is discussed at length here. We even had a forum for him at one point. If anything, your thread may have been a duplicate.

If you disagree with a moderator decision on your thread, please don't hesitate to contact the moderator who trashed the thread, and submit a complaint (Ideas/Complain) if you can't work it out.

In any case, if the reason for trashing the thread wasn't included in the U2U you received, the moderator who trashed it shouldn't have any trouble telling you.

Thanks
I didnt recieve a u2u, just found it a little odd it went to trash without reason or expanation (or prehaps my post was the reason for it), and wouldnt know what mod deleted it to u2u.

I could see it, why you wonder "Why was this person banned?" when they post something to close to home. When you post about how great the war in Iraq is you are made a Way Above Top Secret Winner, when you post about another Bush scandal they ban you.

Or they could be trying to CTA so the government doesn't go after the whole site.

Doh! Sorry. A fellow mod reminded me of what this is. I thought it was your thread.

Unless I'm mistaken, the thread you're referring to was in Political Conspiracies and was trashed due to copyright problems.

The member who posted the thread received the U2U explaining that. Other members wouldn't.

Let me know if this sounds wrong -- and always feel free to submit a complaint if you're not satisfied.

Um, do you even read what people post to this site?

WATS is awarded based on member votes.

There are literally thousands of threads discussing Bush scandals. If members were banned for posting them, almost none of us would still be members.

My advice: read what members are posting and then revisit why your assertions are so asinine.

The only cover-up I see in this case is self-imposed.

I'm sorry but WHAT? Can you restate that?

If you are going to accuse us of something I would appreciate it if it was written in such a way I could UNDERSTAND IT.
