Today I posted a thread questioning how a 45% increase in the price of the Sunday Buffett at Evans Prairie from $8.99 to $12.99 was justified. I was shut down by a “moderator”. My thread was deleted without explanation within an hour even though I praised the food and service. I used no bad language and it was no worse than I am posting now. Is this a real forum or are we being “watched”?

As I understand it the post that you put up is a Violation because you have under 10 posts. I could be a little off base but my guess is close. Just trying to be helpful, it doesn't affect me.

That sounds right that you need 10 posts or more to post a review of something. I have no dog in this fight as I have never been to Evans Prairie and know nothing about their old buffet in comparison with the new one.

So to answer your question, “yes”.

Aside from the rule others have posted I look at it this way when using any open forum: This service is free for all of us to use so you get what you pay for. You could request a refund and I'm sure they will send your payment back to you very quickly. :D :D

As others have pointed out, the site guidelines stipulate you must have a minimum # of posts before praising or criticizing a business or service (exception being if that business is a paid sponsor on TOTV).

This prevents internal employees from shilling for their business or disgruntled employees or competitors disparaging a company. Believe me, this has happened many times.

When your thread was deleted you should have received a PM notifying you of the reason.
