Why would a thread get dumped when the only purpose of it was to help others?

Censorship is alive and well.. it's very much a case of opinions/thoughts and feelings that determine whether a post stays or not. The random deleting, and reasoning is typical of the it didn't fit the mold or narrative type. Other posts get locked or replies get deleted. Definitely a well oiled machine with set boundaries and limitations all based on time of day and moods therein.
