With this online art community, we have a unique opportunity to connect with our kindred. We must avail ourselves of this experience, for it may never come again.

Anyone else ever notice that Administration sometimes arbitrarily deletes comments on your page? I've noticed it more than once, and I find it disturbing, particularly since no topics or language violated propriety or site policy, as far as I know.

I've submitted a complaint to Admin, so I'll see what happens. But it certainly pisses me off. It should be up to each member what content is discussed on their own pages, and any problems should be resolved by Admin only when requested.

Censorship on a site that purports to be such a liberal venue for expression definitely seems the height of hypocrisy.

***UPDATE***

The word from on high:

Hi,
If you have had comments on your userpage that were in a long string of nested comments disappear then this is a known issue at this time. This bug is being looked into and will be fixed as soon as possible.

My reply:

Thank you, Ms. Montalvo.

Will the string of comments that disappeared be retrieved? And is there a likelihood of recurrence? This sort of thing is most disturbing, and with the lack of explanation from administration, erroneous conclusions may be presumed.

Perhaps a genial announcement could be made to assuage the victims of these situations, and to affirm that the site is not arbitrarily censoring harmless conversations.

Warmly,
Jerome K. Moore
