Why do threads talking about "the Agency" Message get deleted??

Hi there,

This one is a question for the ATS Staff.

I was enjoying reading a thread through about a mystery message from a mysterious Agency when it 404'd. I had read in the thread that there were other threads on this subject that also 404'd...

Is there a reason that these threads are being deleted?

Many thanks,

Korg.

because they are a hoax

thank god they were deleted

if they could prove they are not a hoax, then I think the threads would be allowed

but come on ...

It turned into childish bickering of members between two discussion forums and that isn't allowed at ATS.

16g.) Board Wars: You will not use these boards to organize "attacks" on other boards, blogs, or discussion groups, and similarly, you will not organize such attacks against this board. Doing so will result in removal of your Post(s) and immediate termination of your account.

15d.) Cross-Posting: You will not cross-post content from other discussion boards (unless you receive advance written permission from TAN or their agents). You will not post-by-proxy the material of banned members or other individuals who are not members, but have written a response to content within a thread on these forums.

Because we will not be part of promoting ANYTHING that could possibly extract private information off someone's computer. The premise by which this "site" seeks to attract members REEKS of a Phishing operation.

At best, it is a scam to build traffic to a website for free, at worst, it's an attempt to corrupt as many computers as possible.
