If it's accidental, LET admins should check forum data for integrity, if it's intentional - pitty then, locking would have been sufficient.

    It was removed. I can't find it either. Unbelievable.

  • Are you expecting us to guess which thread you're thinking about? Out of the thousands that have ever been created?

    I had created a thread about RU business ban on this forum. After answer from JB that he is Ukrainian and see no problems of Russians advertising here - thread was removed/hidden.

  • LET has evidently begun censoring their forum even more than before, despite @jbiloh stating that he disagrees with people being censored.

    SBU did it fast.

    I'm unsure whether I should find that censorship ridiculous or saddening. It seems LET has changed - and not for the better.

    The forum already has a thread for people to discuss their feelings about Russia. That thread had no possibility of being anything other than a continuation of that thread and you know it. The request was denied, and that was the only unique thing about it. Further discussion of the topic would fit well in that existing thread.

    Then why not merge it? Or at least just close. Hidding or deleting it shows that info presented in that thread was uncomfortable for someone...

    What thread are you actually talking about?

    P. S. No need to answer if you can't provide the link.

    I want to be polite because Mr. @yoursunny will throw me the book otherwise, the heaviest and hardest of the shelve, straight into the face. But I think you are, politely speaking, kindly missing a simple point. The so called "free speech" happening within that thread was aimed at silencing people. Now kindly lend your intelligence upon this notion :)

    One Megathread should be enough.
    If that's not enough, maybe create a Discord server dedicated to that.
    Most people here like drama related to hosting, deadpools, deals, etc., not about politics, wars, and bigotry.

    I also remember seeing comments pointing to the other discussion. This was already a clear indication that it was being derailed with political or other crap.

    The moderators are really good at not letting nazi content through on an international forum. Not the whole world dances to your tune There are many adequate people.

  • jenkkijenkki Member

    I really laugh when some people think they can somehow hurt the other side with this.

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    I'll look into this.

  • ArkasArkas Moderator

    I agree that these kind of threads are just bait threads for the war. I agree with its removal, and no, I didn't remove it.

    I fully agree. One thread where people foaming from their mouths can vent their aggression is more than enough.

    Not very good, if you're still here. 🖕🤡

    Most probably, OP deleted it himself to save further embarrassment after declaring, ‘LET is owned by a US guy, and since the US is banning all Russian things, ban all Russian providers.’ But the owner himself came forward and stated he’s Ukrainian with no reason to ban anyone.

    Come out to the battlefield and we'll talk. Everyone here is brave.

    Russian providers who are represented on the LET have paid an advance for entry. It's not free. Can the OP refund their money himself? :smiley:

  • Thanks moderators for doing the right thing, I also hate freedom of speech.
    We must show these orks where is their place!

    Yeah deleting threads is the excellent way to show superiority.

    I agree, we do it on daily basis here at ADL.

    There is a place called Bilohorivka in Ukraine.
