If I read the TOU correctly, they own the site, and the moderators don't. So if they do a nice dispassionate analysis of their numbers, and they look at hits, I guess they can look at before this was controlled by a few guys with a single agenda, and after. They used to allow contrasted viewpoints, and we were strict with personal conduct. Now it's the other way around.
I haven't been here much, and many of the guys I work with feel that it's a handful of guys, so it's not really worth it. Is this reflected in the numbers? I have no idea. I just suspect that the broader the audience, the more growth they see in revenue. I think credibility and drama grow both revenue. It's all pretty simple.
What's also pretty simple is that they would clearly know if I'm rube or not.
So, deflections aside, I just want to know... Can we see rube's terrible post, minus the expletive he quoted, or not? Over 4,600 posts, I've had three minor infractions. The offensive part was redacted, the rest remained. Not a single Delta mod ever touched one of my posts.
So what's this latest obsession with manipulating content?
I can't answer your question, maybe the mods can. My own cynicism makes me think since there is no talking points or sales agenda or flight pay loss only a few contrarians remain. These would be hardliner political types who have their own agenda. I can only speak for myself but I welcome the debate. If you are outnumbered and are rebuffed that tells me the majority supports the rebuttal or more would come to the defense of the original argument. Just my $0.02.
