Sometimes I have had posts removed because the s/s/p was not recognized. Sometimes I have been able to get the removal canceled/reversed by pointing it out.

The emoji can be crucial.

Most of the time it's just news that somebody doesn't want to hear or a different point of view. We get the RWers sometimes, of course, but they don't usually last long before MIRT gets them. I always say that if you disagree with something, speak up. This is a discussion board. Discuss.

I just think it's a social media bubble thing.
