2-27-10 LTE's Pulled?

Haven't visited the LTE's in about a week and......... it appears that todays were pulled. What happened, does anybody know?

I see them, sparkle.... the count says there are 66 comments (although I know a lot have been reported and pulled). Over the last week or so, though, many, many comments just disappear-- you can tell by the numbers when the pages are refreshed.

Don't know, but as you say, lots of posts are disappearing. Seems like I've finally been banned too - can't see my comments unless I'm logged in. Hence the birth of "xyzxy".

Quite some time ago The Zero changed the settings so that now we have to sign in before seeing our own comments-- it doesn't have anything to do with being banned.

Not sure how they'd know who is logged in - I cleared cookies as a quick test.

I'm not logged in right now and can see the comments left as xyzxy but not those left as xyzzy.

Can you see my 4:51 and 4:55 LTE posts made as xyzzy?

xyzzy said...

Guess I meant "how Olympian knows who you are if you're not logged in", since I cleared cookies and IP address is the same for both xyzzy and xyzxy. If you can see my xyzzy posts though, obviously there's yet another way....

Sorry, double-checked but don't see your posts under xyzzy; found one at 5:53:44 under xyzxy. I see that your xyzzy Persona page says it's being reviewed and all the comments are gone. In other words the saboteurs have been busy reporting that ID.

I recommend that everybody keep copies of all your posts-- just copy and paste the content of your Persona pages into a document that you update frequently. Then if you need to figure out what might have triggered the Olympian's attention, you will have the posts.

OK, that confirms it. It's said it's under review since about the day I first created it though, some fluke.

The posts are still visible to me when I log in.

I'm the same way, but there is no notation on my personna page

I'm guessing that no one was seeing posts from "TWOONE589"

Am I correct?

xyzzy said...

Not that I recall recently, and not this morning prior to your post above.

Kardnos said...

OK. Here is the deal.

This morning, I dumped "TWOONE589" which always disappeared when I wasn't signed in. I then created "Thurston_B_Logger". I left, signed out and Thurston's posts were still there. So, I'm guessing the deal is if enough of the assholes complain, Lui Long, Tammy McGee or whoever will set up your account so that you can see your posts, but no one else can.
