If posts offend you,just delete alpha from your sites,easy.
If a poster offends you,mute the poster,easy.
Ranting does not solve your concerns,leaving would?
Self-censorship is your solution instead of providing a decent place for dialogue?
Very strange point of view.
This is not about one person vs. another, but about what has become a full time army of disinformers.
This pushes SA into self-destruction if it isn't checked.
The law of bad money driving out good is well known (information being money here).
@Lejoy John... Why was my reply removed first, without regard for the fact that user account 1504661 has commented almost exclusively with anti-Trump messages, nothing useful except for one political party? Did you review those many comments he made for likewise deletion?
Sometimes I believe these people are paid political trolls, maybe having more than one user account. Are you on guard for this possibility?
Let's be frank, SA doesn't see the threat it is to its business.
The tools (one offs) are insufficient now that the community has expanded.
Nothing exists on SA (automated tools) to deal with paid trolls who are here to incite one against the other.
SA thinks the only rewarding thing are market places.
But I am not inclined to raise my subscription when I see such disregard for providing a decent environment for dialogue.

Not a valid answer against paid shills.
This isn't about dealing with one person time to time, but with a swarm of full time parasites.
Please, help the users instead of kicking the can down the road.
This is a structural issue, it is about information war.
This is about a community and your business too.
A grocery store doesn't ask his patrons to boot out themselves the loiterers.

It's certainly interesting what makes it through the filters and what doesn't. The NBA news threads the past two days have been very clear. I would suggest shutting down comments for some of the political drivel. Absolutely nothing but grievance and victimhood from all sides.
Not a single stock tip.

If you have a pre-existing condition AND vote for Trump in November,

I was offended that 1504661 brought voting for Trump into this thread about MO. I replied, with supported information links and my comment was apparently deleted. Yet the original offense remains. Please reply to me as to exactly why my reply to that comment was singled out for deletion. Is Seeking Alpha becoming part of the current cancel culture? I'm a premium member and will seek a refund if this is so.

@ Jacob Maltz ... I find that virtually every post 1504661 has made recently involves bashing potential Trump voters ... and yet my reply to him was apparently deleted. Why was my reply deleted while his post was allowed to stand? Who is a political troll rather than an investor here? Cancel Culture at Seeking Alpha will cut both ways if my comment was in fact unfairly cancelled. Please research and reply as my question is not yet "answered".
