Fear mongering threads ARE deleted. I noticed this too. Also deleted are any posts that may compete with SR such as other escrow services out there.Lots of posts get deleted that may inhibit people to shop and buy. They even try to hide the glitches and problems with security. The image hack a few months ago was a good example. They only reported it when they had no choice. And even then, some vendors went offline because there was no way to tell how deep this hack reaches or what . The. The recent bitcoin appearing and disappearing. They wouldn't say anything or shut down the site until it was too late or there was a risk of loosing money for SR. It could have been reported right away. It o Lu takes a few seconds to write a mass message to everyone right ? It didn't go out , just a tiny wee little post by dpr saying don't worry just wait . He was right . He always is . :-)But it's a business here . You can see how vendors would put pressure on SR to delete these posts that could slow sales. It's good business.
