Yes holmz, sad to say it happens all the time. If I told you how it works you would not believe me. Suffice to say it is biased and counterproductive. Look around you will notice the same small group constantly posting off topic blather. Many of them have been here so long now they think they own the site. In effect they do, because they have bullied and deterred many from posting. Check out the recent Tekton discussion, where they mocked and attacked the OP for having the temerity to post a positive review.

It is fine in their book to insult another member calling his room a "dungeon" like theaudiotweak did just above. That is just fine, and no one will ever be able to get that one removed. But watch how fast they remove this one for having nothing the least bit insulting, controversial, or even off topic. You did after all ask. This is the answer. But they can’t stand the truth, and so when you see it removed that will prove everything I just said is true.
