Earlier tonight i noticed quite a few posts complaining about IMCUK editing or hiding legitimate posts.

Now a few hours later the same posts have gone.Whether hidden or removed i don't know nor care to know.What exactly in the sphere of influence does IMCUK have?Not much as far as i can tell.A site is decided by the responce it gets.IMCUK has a diminishing user comment base.Which becomes smaller day by day.I have noticed the posters names over the past 3 month,those that did and those that do not anymore.And it is with a feeling of regret and dismay that the current IMCUK has allowed this to happen,if they have? Or they are compromised?If they are will they publish this?If not we shall see.

"Now a few hours later the same posts have gone."

And now they're back.

"Whether hidden or removed i don't know nor care to know."

Obviously you do or you wouldn't have wasted the time. Nothing gets deleted - personal info gets edited into internal comments.

Hey - I'll bet you don't always post under the same name. Its open posting - not a bulletin board - no registered nicks, and no attempts to stop posting under multiple identities. Theres no way of knowing how many people are posting - and no particular desire to see the comments section dominated by a few names.

"And it is with a feeling of regret and dismay that the current IMCUK has allowed this to happen,if they have? Or they are compromised?If they are will they publish this?If not we shall see."

Well, its being hidden cos its not news, the other thread is still up but no doubt you imagine that my handler told me to pull it?
