Macrumors still nuking posts without even so much as a word

15 years ago was about when I first joined the site. Before that, I frequented a somewhat more obscure site called macosrumors, which was pretty strict but fair in its moderation. When I went back to visit it some years later, the forum section seemed like a sort of uncomfortable shithole, full of the "wrong" type of posters (IMHO). I guess most places develop internentropy, becoming not what they used to be.
 
I was once slapped with a three-day suspension for the crime of choosing the laughing emoji from the "like" button on an article by one of their writers. The message I received from the moderator was that I was begin given a timeout for "harassing" the writer. 🤣

For more than 15 years, I was a regular on the site, visiting and posting several times a week. Now, I check the front page maybe once a week, and I never post.
Yeah, I've been suspended once few years back, don't even remind what I did that was so nefarious
BTW they are basically doing a lot of publicity to stuff I don't care that much but I understand they need to survive.
In their forum there are still few very good tech people helping when you have an issue 💗
