Anyone else notice postings are disappearing. Looks like SF got to these guys too...probably threatened to sue them..way to be tough layoffs.com or should I say statefarmsbitch.com.

SF has automated tools that bring in internet key word references to them. They don’t need a special tiger team to do that. That team sifts through the results and acts if possible. It’s the one piece of technology that they have gotten right. Just that one piece!
I have seen numerous factual posts that contain no names or profanity, disappear. It is a fact. My assumption is if it hits too close to home, State Farm’s ‘team of internet scourers’, sends a threat and the admin deletes the offending post. SF has far too much legal power for a site like this to fight. Let’s see how long before this one disappears. Screen shoot it.

Not true. Posts about SF increasing security have been deleted also.
Okay, so here's a message sent directly to whoever is scouring the web for bad press, and the lawyers they report it to:
Go F Yourself. And stick your cease and desist right up your a--.
I used to be part of an area attached to the SF legal dept. I can't say more or else they'd know who I am. There are people at SF paid to scour the web for ANY negative information about the companies. It's their actual job. If they find something, it's brought to in-house counsel who decide whether or not they can send a 'cease and desist' threat to a website or individual. Beyond that, they'll decide whether to file an action in a court to throw a further scare into it. Basically, SF has a live patrol out there looking for people that dare denegrate them.
And I've noticed lots of posts that reference C-level executives that contain no insults that get scrubbed.
So yeah, the site owner is paranoid or has been threatened or something.
Things are simple - you cannot post names or any other personal info here, with an exception of C-suits or movie stars cause they’re already public figures.
That is not what is happening. I posted that a certain reorganization was our CEO's baby (meaning it was his pet project) and that post was deleted. Why?
So no, it's not simple.
Things are simple - you cannot post names or any other personal info here, with an exception of C-suits or movie stars cause they’re already public figures. On the other hand, bashing people (c-suits or not) is not allowed.
While it's a fact that the TOS for this website prohibits the posting of personal information about individuals, it's also true that they've really cracked down to ridiculous degrees regarding references to our CEO in particular.
I expect this was because of all the absurd rumors about him. Whether his legal team had a hand in this I have no idea.
What is the website?
MT will be here through 2022. Done deal.
@xbn is right, names and personal insults are not allowed here. Few months back, site admins nuked all I ever written and blocked my IP just because I wrote something about my colleague (and I used just initials, not a full name). Using proxy now, super slow.
So you're saying SF board etc wants cutbacks are letting MT handle it then gets rid of him putting their own guy in. The damage is done but folks are happy because he gone not realizing that was the plan all along. He's the patsy...does explain why no action being taken against MT for terrible actions. Unlikely though, too much collateral damage meaning too much loss of business, reputation and ranking in industry.
Yes....I saw one yesterday that is gone. It was a conspiracy theory.
MT brought in to do dirty work. When done he will be gone and everyone will thank new guy for taking action when all along it was new guys plan. The Lee Harvey/mob conspiracy theory lives
