focus:
There are detailed messages by me on this board (for those of you just tuning in, this is the CCME board), that discuss the reasons why a message may be deleted. This CCME board is very open to short and long views. Read the ibox for example.
Any message removed would be because of something else about the message, i.e. a personal attack, vulgarity, off topic, etc. The most likely reason for a removal was that a message is off topic.
Few messages are removed on the CCME board. Sometimes removal is by ihub admins, which are people higher up than the moderator or the assistant moderators of a particular board.
I strongly encourage anyone who ever experiences a message deletion to ask a moderator for a review, to recognize there are multiple moderators to help, and to repost the message with the offending portion removed.
Example:
"CCME management is terrible. They do not even update their website with new information. The translations are terrible. F**K lawyers."
The above example may be removed on the basis of vulgarity.
If so, simply repost as follows:
"CCME management is terrible. They do not even update their website with new information. The translations are terrible."
