I see a lot of posts but the next time I get on line they are gone? What's the deal? Who has a say on what stays and what goes? I don't recall any posts inciting violence, being s-xist, etc. that would cause a moderator to take them down?

I was an executive at GO I had to retire because of health issues unfortunately a couple years ago... These discussions started in 2016... I remember sitting in a room with my peers after one of the first “cost reduction” meetings and looking at my peers and saying not only will many people in our departments be affected by this but several of us sitting here will be gone. Guess what all of the older more experienced guys have been forced out!
It’s an anonymous forum, works like this: you can’t post your name nor you can identify others. Also, you cannot post data by which someone who is not a already a public figure can be easily identified (google the term PII).
To the post regarding that it was unlikely that K had anything to do with taking the original post down, I AGREE. However, I believe the intent of the writer accusing the Thought Police should not be taken literally to mean those in K Leadership. Thought Police is a broader Orwellian term that describes those that have the access or power to censor others and feel like they have an obligation to be the referee of what is discussed and what direction it should take.
Less than a month ago there was a topic about Kroger being recognized by the ell gee bee tee kue community for its top score on the 2019 Corporate Equality Index. I posted about it and so did a few others. No comments were offensive or obviously against site rules. I came back to the topic a day or two later and discovered my comment and that of another viewer had been deleted. I posted another comment, this time calling out the deleted comments and said that sensorship (misspelling on purpose) wasn't nice and that the mods need to knock it off. Another day or two later and the entire topic and its comments were gone! Given the zeal of the moderators, I wonder how long this comment will survive...
There are thousands of companies listed on this site. If you go to their latest threads section, you’ll see about a hundred of posts appearing every minute, so it’s highly unlikely Kroger has any saying in what gets posted or deleted here. I bet they could, they would have stopped every single post here, but they can’t.
More likely posts get deleted because posters are lazy to check the site rules. Myself included, all that legal mambo-jambo makes me sick, so I googled the posts mentioning the site rules here and here is what I found (posted originally here @2exzn+WWJ1wBT ) :
I've been on the site for a while now and here is my observation on what kind of posts mods/admins delete:
- Foul language (a big no-no)
- Defamation
- Racism
- Anything that has personal info
- Using names excluding public figures like PR, Comms, Board and C-Level)
- Unsupported negative posts (e.g., you will all be laid off, ford engineers are not competent, etc)
- Trolling (they axe this sometimes, I've seen some troll posts survive but they typically nix it)
- References to violence and sgurd (read this in reverse, I don't want to be tagged as pitching it here, merely trying to avoid being blocked)
The "Thought Police" are responsible.
The same group that convinced 20 independent operating divisions responsible for managing and developing local "talent" to fire their own store managers that they had supposedly been developing and training for 30 yrs. Not only that, but these independent operating divisions simultaniously and miraculously decided to implement these moves on the same day! The 2 tools they used were the improper use of the 9 block associate calibration process and the spineless, weak, mostly new DM's and Vp's who were specifically chosen post VRO for their easyly influenced minds. This couldn't have happened on this large a scale with the prior leadership in these roles. THEY had more stripes, were closer to retirement, more financially secure, more seasoned, etc.
SO If you are one of the ones in leadership that sat in a room last year and went along to get along, hypocritically concured with your boss and others about the capability of associates reporting to you, YOU didnt stand up and defend the truly deserving ones that busted their butt for you every day; if this is you, then you now know why YOU were chosen. Because you were weak and provided the path of least resistance for the "Thought Police". CONGRATULATIONS!
One of mine was deleted and I emailed the site and no response so I just reposted it.
