BiggerPockets Moderators Are Now Censoring the Forums For Only Nice Feedback

[Jonathan Greene]

I've been on this site for ten years, providing honest feedback to people, and today, for the first time that I am aware of, some moderator removed my posts in a forum where the OP was calling me names in every one of her responses. I said nothing rude, no name-calling, no slights, just feedback on a relatively nothing post about wholesaling.

When our posts are censored because people have hurt feelings, and their posts are left there with blatant insults, something is wrong under the hood. This is participation trophy culture and reverse trolling at its finest.

I guess from now on, you can only give back pats, hold people's hands on their journey, and encourage them, and not tell them the truth about their questions, investment ideas, or future plans. On the flip side, they can insult you repeatedly, and moderators will leave that there.

Super.

@Jonathan Greene I’m traveling for work this week, but I’d like to get looped in on this. 

We like attacks on bad ideas. Don’t like attacks on people. Could you DM the situation and I’ll talk it over with our moderation team (next week)?

I tend to like seeing you in action, so I’m curious what seems to have crossed the line this time.
