Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

anyone else been temporarily banned on here?!?!

was just banned from commenting on here for 2 days! never have had a comment or post taken down either. my last post i made was on the "hello" thread....i was first comment..the one with all the up votes....and its still there. most of my post are either from observation of stores and management comments, things i see corporate is doing or a compilation of what im reading from the news or other social media sites...i often suggest the employees have much more power than corporate ever wants us to realize.....perhaps i'm striking a nerve....

does make me wonder how many on here have been permanently banned and we no longer can hear their voices. also makes me wonder if some of the other big corporate retail layoff forums are as dead as they are because so many who complained got banished long ago. one thing is obvious...since alot of us migrated over here from topix....this site has really ramped up the censorship....daily post are being deleted.

I have noticed a pattern of my comments disappearing, and getting blocked (last one was for over a week), using a name of a real Lowe's corporate person as a pseudonym.

Regarding the First Amendment, hope you’ll get it, as it can’t be explained any simpler than this: https://xkcd.com/1357/

free speech is just that...negative speech. free speech offends. theres no need for the first amendment if the speech is positive and everyone agrees with it! they want us to self censor...thats the antithesis of the first amendment. the supreme court has upheld that the town square is protected by the first amendment and in 2019 forums like this are yester-years town square. seriously 1ygn, youre either a mod of this site or carrying the water for them. been noticing the correlation between heres how not to get banned or deleted post with post then being deleted in mass. my belief is those arent people like us but mods and its a shame they dont realize that youre one of us not one of them!!!. why should this thread get deleted?! why should posting about being banned get any of us banned??! the tyranny of that mindset is unreal!

ive never had a single post or comment deleted yet i got banned for two days and no explanation as to why! no ability to "face my accuser". my guess is the layoff is corporately owned by some big tech corporation, though they once were created by former disgruntled employees that were blindsided by A LAYOFF. the big tech corporation saw the value in buying out the site so as to have the ability to control the free flow of information. and in this case since lowes corporate has let it be known that they are very active in social media...they are now daily telling the layoff who to ban and what post to delete.....

To the previous poster - 1jmy, haven’t seen your posts, have no reason to doubt they were truthful. But there are simply too much other truthful posts here that aren’t taken down, most of which speak negatively about the management, and that fact doesn’t support your theory.

On the other hand, if your other posts were written in a same style like the one you just made, I’m inclined to believe everything is just like 1ygn said and the reason they were nuked is just the language you used. Let’s face it, even I am pretty sure you weren’t talking about children and weather conditions in your last post, but (unnecessarily) using personal insults to prove your point.

I am routinely axed for speaking truth. All the crybaby snowflakes get plenty of air time but visionaries and realists get bumped. Tells you something about the ‘value’ this site provides. Worthless as tits on a boar.

3 years here, never banned, never deleted...

Do not threat

Do not swear

Dont use names

Do not discuss politics

Dont talk race or identity

Do not post in iffy threads - they sometimes blanket ban all participants

Ask them to unban if you think they are wrong

Think about it, facebook is a cesspool even tho people r using real names - this place would implode in no time if they let stuff go outta control...

I am posting this from a public ip just in case they blanket ban the thread (i think they will keep it as an example tho)

Yes about several times like today for example no profanity etc, acronyms. 'yes' but bottom line just truth, Like I wrote a coupe of weeks ago in a post which was taken off "THE TRUTH HURT'S, DON'T IT"

My posts almost always vanish after a few hours. This post will probably vanish too.

My former HR person told us that if we ever talk about unions in the store we would be unemployed.
