are some businesses more equal than others?

[civilservant]

I've recently been involved in a discussion on this Forum about a certain cafe on LL. There was an exchange of views, in which some forumites reported their personal experience of eating there or working there.

I now find that the relevant thread has been deleted, never to be seen again.

But at the same time, I see very critical posts about other ED businesses, many of which I would recommend on this forum. These posts are also based on reported personal experience. But they are allowed to remain.

Could anyone, possibly even an Administrator, explain - preferably in words of three syllables or less - what we can and what we can't discuss on this forum?

Just a comment from a user.

In my experience with some forums where threads are often deleted (not this one) is if legal action gets mentioned a thread goes, sometimes followed by bans of varying periods.

Have a look in the About this Forum section. Admin has explained the position there.

Siduhe, thank you for the link. I hadn't seen it as I rarely venture into the About this Forum section.

Very interesting to see the names of the only two (or is it three, Admin?) businesses which wanted their names to be made off-limits.

having rammed white hat on head and waded into the fray all guns blazing, now see that fellow Forumites have been quietly toiling all night long to support the Forum's right to free speech and to diss those who would not be dissed
