I just had my post deleted by medogsfat. I was going to donate to this site to become a Silver or Gold but now I know I will never support such an anti free speech place.
I love Bang and Olufsen but this has to stop.

What was in your post that was deleted?

Are you 100% certain he wasn't justified? Very strange because I've always found him to be a delight & most helpful & patient with geriatric old dodderers like myself. A misunderstanding surely? Come on! Forgive, forget, rise above it & support the site by going Gold.

strange indeed, free speach is quite normal over here and done, but I suppose there are certain regulations here wich are quite normal : no insults, no cursing, no indecent words e.g. wich one[s] did you use ? ....................🤔 apple words can't be the reason because they are used very often like ipod or...............iphone................so it can't be your username.................😕
I can see no posts that have been deleted today. We do delete posts - usually duplicate ones. The site filter also will hold up some posts due to inappropriate language, though that is automatic. Very rarely is a post deleted for other reasons - advertising, defaming another person or a post that could cause offense are about all that I can think of. We do have a couple of individuals who due to their actions have been banned and their attempts to post are not tolerated.
Otherwise, I will defend the right of free speech as far as I possibly can and I know the other moderators feel the same. I have no idea what iphone is posting about.

As far as I am aware, medogsfat was not on line this morning so I don't know what this is all about!
I can confirm what has already been said. There are no posts deleted today, and none have been auto-filtered or auto-deleted either - i just checked the admin system.
Again, to confirm, we consult every single moderator on our own discussion forum if there is any doubt as to wether to delete a post or not. We do not take decisions to remove or edit posts lightly as free speech is of the utmost importance on this site, and it is only with unanimous agreement of all moderators that we do this if there is any question.
For the record, i am currently looking at the admin panel - and we have a count of 91,526 posts made so far. In contrast, we have a total of 61 recorded deleted posts.

I think this goes back to March, and a post about a tiff with a dealer in the US? Remember reading the original post, which dealt with a response from the dealer to iPhone which caused offense. Remember looking forward to hearing both sides of the issue ... I don't think this is a free speech matter, though. The post was quite inflammatory, and presented only one side of the interchange between iPhone and the dealership ... it had promising comedic potential!
This must be regarding a post I deleted a while back (not recently as the OP suggests) in which iphone offered "advice" to a new member who had a problem with his Beoltalk 1200. I took this action after complaints from other members and will not go into details as I PM'ed iphone explaining exactly why I took this action and to comment further would be a breach of confidentiality IMO. It is enough to say that the post in question was not within the Beoworld spirit and was done with the full support of the moderating team.

If this indeed is the post, I would concur with Chris completely regarding this. We do keep all deleted posts and can publish them if required. In this case I would suggest that it is unnecessary . As has been said, the moderating team discuss such matters before action is taken.
