I posted about ML being a POS and never using people’s names including the steak cutter and they have now deleted my post.
Censorship for what reason? Company influence potentially as truthful facts are not so favorable?
Sad day to see Layoff interject.
@ivt+110AFQtL You nailed it, specially this part:
TOP TIP#1 - Don't post derogatory comments aimed at people; only their actions.
@110AFQtL
You have NO rights to free speech on a PRIVATE company's site. I have no idea why people just cannot understand that free speech rights only apply when the GOVERNMENT is trying to suppress your speech!
It happens regularly.
In our podcast series: 'how to master layoff.com' we take you on a step-by-step tour of the many ways to avoid postal deletion. This follows our highlly successful 'DXC is doing all the right things'! which was ironically deleted for gross hyperbole.
HOW TO MASTER LAYOFF.COM
In podcast one: 'Are they total baskets?' we show how to construct posts that avoid being deleted.
For example, if we take a recent post from layoff.com's thread (beneath this one) entitled: "Techmarketview.com...'
We noted that someone had posted this thought provoking comment:
"Different Mike, same ole sh1te!"
Lets just examine this for a minute.
Obviously the poster has used numbers here to ensure that the final noun survives the 'rude_words' validation check. And, they have also added an exclamation mark to really bring out the smell of that word.
But what else do you notice about the sentece? Anything?
Notice how the the derogatory noun 'Sh1te' is being used to decribe the effect of the actions of the person rather than it being used as an adjective to describe the actual person themselves?
And that's the subtle twist.
Of course, if we replace the comma in the sentence with the words: "but still a", then it would dramatically change its whole meaning and likely lead to immediate deletion.
TOP TIP#1 - Don't post derogatory comments aimed at people; only their actions.
Join us in podcast #2 where we will be reviewing the lastest 'layoff.com' spelling and grammar widgets and asking if they will hip rejuice the number of misspilt worms.

Your post made the comment without anything else, so was easy to spot by the mods (I am guessing).
Its their site; their rules and with us all posting anonymously, they are the ones who get the libel letters from lawyers if they are not seen to be taking reasonable steps to moderate. So they might not catch 'em all!
You can call it censorship. Insults are still protected by freedom of speach as long as they are not turned into hate - and the interpreation of your acronym as direct hate is taken by the mod.
You didn't use names, but initials are personally identifiable and attributable here because most readers to this page will know you mean.
The word POS or other personal insult can get you there. Check this tag #delete
same happened to me recently
