Shutdown Timer Provides Better Auto Shutdowns

Nice! Much better than burning an ipod in a blender with a magnifying glass while shooting bullets through it.

Has anyone else noticed that comments keep getting deleted on Toms? It seems like anything the mods don't like its getting removed. I'm ok with ads/spam/hate speech being deleted, but many other comments are also being removed.

This looks to be very useful.

yes, and im tired of it already.

I placed a comment in another article earlier, they removed a very important stat (had wwii deaths listed, they removed a country which dramatically changed the meaning of my post.)

This is what they posted back in March. Hopefully it will answer your question; maybe it won't:

That really seems a bit much. Isn't having comments auto-hidden if they're low ranked, plus the 'alert moderators' feature enough?

Either way, the ban hammer is getting used so much that its starting to make it hard to follow the discussions. This is made even worse by selective mod edits. Sure its funny to alter a person's idiotic post, but the frequency with which this is being done is getting out of hand.

I've had a couple of my posts removed. I don't receive an email notification telling me that my comment was removed. I'm assuming I went off topic or something, but I'm not troll and try to stay on topic. Discussions often change to a point where they are no longer about the article (e.g. this discussion), that doesn't mean that comments should be removed.

According to their guidelines, this comment could be removed as it shows political affiliation and its off topic.
