So Are Boneyarded Threads...
...ever called for by the parent company?
For example, the Nashville thread at the other place got boneyarded, not moved, fairly soon after the trans angle was announced. Is there some sort of bat signal that IB, for example, could send out to site mods leads to quash discussion? Cumdog said he did it because people were trashing LGBT. Does the call ever come from upstairs? |

Internet Brands owns CF and many other forums and other tech sites. They’re traded on NASDAQ. They make huge money from advertisers on their digital platforms. They couldn’t care less about politics but will do whatever they believe will make more money. Right now diversity, equity and inclusion are “in” so that’s what they do. It could change in the future.
And yes, they can send a PM to all Mods and Admins with instructions n how to moderate - including a promise of a permanent ban if they don’t follow instructions or if they divulge those instructions. |

As a community leader in several medical forums for IB I can tell you from my experience that directive does not come down from IB. Pretty sure that’s all decided by the folks that manage the website. Having said that, make no mistake, IB will protect themselves if they get complaints and lay down the law.

IB is part of the big tech media circus.
Orders were given. |

Could be, the communities I lead are not really the type that will have heated discussions about politics. What I get a lot of are requests to interpret test results, explaining procedures and discussing physiology with the occasional dummy asking "my chest hurts, I can't catch my breath and my left arm is numb, what should I do?".
We do get directives on how to avoid giving medical advice, mostly to protect their interests I imagine. |

Did you receive instructions to dismiss myocarditis, blood clots, strokes, and other heart related maladies, especially in young people having anything to with the shots? I ask, because that was and is the position of virtually every other MSM and social media platform.
