as the entirety of my opinion on this matter, given that’s all that I had to offer on the fact that a private company decided to hide shit from us given their interpretation of what’s theirs vs what’s ours.
This was hidden by either a mod or, less likely, a bunch of people reporting it for some reason.
Given that there’s no actual reference as to who did this or what rule I broke, can I get some clarification on any of both points? That would rock. Thanks.
Isn’t there a minimum of nine characters per post, or something like that? It should have said something about it if your reply was too short when you tried to make it.
“Those cunts” probably would have gone through OK, if the cut-off is actually nine characters.
So. The word of a serial liar can’t be trusted? I’m so enlightened.
Here’s better: Facebook hoovers the data of people who don’t have Facebook accounts. In other words, Facebook takes without permission (obviously) and people get nothing in return. Before all this Silicon Valley disruption, this was called theft. For that matter, dunno how a network that enables sociopathy and empowers killers in Myanmar and Sri Lanka is social.
It was community flagging — so yes, it was due to other people (not mods) here flagging it. I’m guessing that people just don’t like that word very much. No specific rule was broken I don’t think.
Are you outside the US, by any chance? Apparently the word is much less acceptable in the US than in other places. So with BoingBoing being US-based, and so a good many of the commenters here being US-based too, also many Feminists here, it’s not too surprising (to me, anyway) that it got flagged here.
