Just reregistered in "the other place" and posted info about how nutrition in modern fruit and veg is a lot lower than it used to be, posted to a thread about eating fruit so relevant, non-controversial, non-political and ... deleted by moderators.

Makes you wonder quite what is going on when you spend time contributing info and it's just deleted without any thought.

Makes you wonder how much useful factual info is posted there and never sees the light of day.

Eh? Did you get a note about why it had been deleted?

As I've mentioned before, I'd prefer it if they'd send a PM explaining why they object to a post, citing what rule has been broken, and asking you to take it down. I appreciate they haven't got the time to get into extended debates/arguments with individuals, but I've generally found, as a mod, if you explain to someone 'why', they are happy to learn from it, and apologise, as most transgressions are inadvertent. If you don't know why something was deleted, you've not learnt what you should avoid doing.

2nd post there deleted by moderators as well. Me thinks they don't like new members (though it's me just having to create a new account after a computer glitch(es)).

Sometimes a mod will put in a post saying "We've deleted some posts because...", then at least you know.... but there's nothing there yet.

Might be worth you contacting admin to explain - I suspect it's your account status rather than the content. It looks like an uncontentious thread, for which your comments would be relevant.

Yes. Didn't like me using a VPN. Said use "Contact Us" to contact them but that just blocks anything, any message, any IP (with or without VPN) - madness and nakes you wonder "is this place worth the effort". Pat 5 mph doesn't like people using VPNs (which I regard as crucial for security and privacy these days).

If I ever get back into Fuckerberg's Facebook, I might try to compose an expletive-free account of how I've got trapped in a Kafka-Shrödinger "You've appealed so you're locked out, but also you haven't completed your appeal, so please log into FB to complete the appeal, despite the fact we've locked you out" semi existence.

At least the mods here who press the buttons are contactable, even if dem rulz are daft at times.

The french ladies are still not able to get their filling of legs in cycling shorts?

I tried using the way they (moderators) said and blocked so no way to contact them.

Beginning to wonder about this site.

Well, by chance I found a weird workaround to at least post single photos there: I can share an Insta post direct to the Page (legs and all). Yay. But I still can't see the Page at all (even though it's public), or reply to the many comments (which my friends can). Boo.

Anyway, I'm told that they are happy that I'm still alive and have got legs.

It's all lace doilies and Readers Digest.
You've been done by the Tweed clad police.
