I am saddened, but not surprised that any big commercial company that doesn't "like" the content of a group can contact this site & the group is suddenly deleted without notice or notification.

I suppose this thread will also shortly blink out of existence too.

Can you give an example of whatever you are talking about? As in all the time I have been here I have never seen a thread removed due to some company disliking the contents.

Well thank-you dear, for your kindness.

There IS a certain big commercial company that l am dealing with/in negotiation with that is considering their options carefully, because l am also on many other social sites, plus am a prominent flagbearer for their most expensive products in this city ...l really have no idea how they will resolve a certain issue, but l hope that it will have an amicable ending.
uh oh

Hello sir, well, there is a first time for everything ...though l don't think this instance would be a first.

l am not chatting about a "thread" ...l am referring to the closed "groups" on here ...hobbies, activities, cliques, etc

How do you know that's why your group was deleted...did you get an e-mail from the mods stating so....and just why do you think a large company would have time to keep an eye on what you're doing?.....dunno

l thought about ignoring your post, but here goes ...

1/ The groups on this site appear in search engine results on the internet where they have a worldwide readership.

2/ This company asked me which sites / groups their products were discussed.

3/ Auction/Sales/Social Sites rarely or never send emails that could be used against them to their members ...heaven forbid that they might be perceived as corrupt.

4/ Well, l'm sorry to disillusion you, BUT large, very large companies take a great deal of interest in ANYTHING that is brought to their notice ...when it involves money !!

If you mentioned a company by name that is in breach of the site rules, could be used as a form of advertising, and as this site is free, they rely on ads for income to support this site.

So I would think far more likely that the site deleted your group for breaching their rules, why should you make or appear to make money from a free dating site? That makes far more sense than some company bothering to seek out CS and request your groups removal.

mmm, l certainly hope you're right ...l really do !!

My group membership &or myself did not stand to make any money ...and although a particular unique item was discussed, other Brands/items were also welcomed/invited to be included in the debate.

This particular group was established on CS one whole year ago ...and l definitely do not believe this arbitrary incident occurring now, an entire year later is a coincidence ...it stinks, ggrrr

If l had been asked to, l would have been happy to remove the Brand/item name from the group name, but obviously it is ridiculous to suggest removing that Brand/item name from other group content ...what's the point of creating groups to debate hobbies, interests & pursuits if you aren't allowed to discuss the subject ??
mumbling uh oh tongue
