Has anyone noticed that some comments have been deleted from some of the threads?
I guess management got a hold of this space.

On deletions, someone posted this a couple of days ago, source below:
I've been on this site since 2015 (first with Verizon and now with GM) so hear me out:
mods/admins exist, they are silent tho
they delete messages, sometimes in bulk (eg all threads or all messages you ever posted by you or someone else may be nuked)
they block ip addresses, some vpns will not work as they are already blocked
some words are blocked and trigger reviews, try to enter xes in reverse and they'll review you
here are things that will trigger a review,purge or block: swearing, use of names, politics, attacking other people
got blocked once, never heard back from them and had to switch ip
if someone is crossing the line you can report it on the contact page
dont post in weird threads, they may bulk block you (if you do, use vpn)
they really cannot stop you posting, use a vpn and you are ok - if you are using a vpn, dont use bing ones like nordVPN as they have them blocked - pick a smaller providedr
try to avoid any discussion about race or identity groups, they dont f around with that - that's like an instant ban and all your older messages get deleted
i am sure there is more stuff that i am forgetting but this is it in the nutshell...

Naturally, Appian's executive team expressed apprehensions, given their dedication to preserving a favorable external perception and safeguarding the company's esteemed reputation. However, insiders are well-aware of the significant internal challenges the company faces, and it is merely a question of time before these issues become more apparent to external stakeholders, impacting the company's trajectory.
Appian leadership must have complained. The site has to have rules to avoid litigation, but it likely doesn't have the resources to monitor everything proactively and has a squeaky wheel approach.
Probably because the impersonator wrote those, apparently that’s not allowed here.
I’ve found this list of rules on an old thread
there is no room for conspiracy, the only "powerful" people who can delete posts here are the site moderators, and they do that if you violate one of the content rules
In short, post gets deleted from here if it contains:
-names, PII (it's ok to name and criticize public figures like c-suits and comms, not ok to name a coworker or direct manager);
-foul language, personal insults;
-impersonating someone in a misleading manner;
-racism, derogatory speech towards groups or individuals;
-threats towards people or property.
The full list of rules can be found in the page footer, but this pretty much covers it.

All our friend Bob’s comments are gone, as is his post proclaiming Appian one of the “greatest places to work”.
We all know how our dear leaders take criticism, anyway.
Any comments that discuss a certain rumor have been removed. I imagine that, due to the content, they're removed by moderators on this site and not Appian leadership themselves.
