Not too common, but it is the prerogative of the owner

Off topic!


That is where the post was moved to, and it is still there if you want to sign in. Really though, what did it have to do with "General Baja Discussion"?

All the time. Or moved to the proper forum. It's helpful when people post to the proper forum - as specified in the user agreement.

Thank you.

I can not sign in to that part of the forum, beside, why post if it is hidden?

A globally discussed and trending topic across 100's of websites does stop at Baja?
Well-meant advise - keep in mind just a few weeks ago similar advise was given and people would consume that and die - is not worthy to General Baja inhabitants?

"Proper Forum" that is not accessible = Censorship!
I guess as private enterprise you can do as you wish on your forum, however, making use of the internet while at the same time not respecting the freedom of expression does not really shine a bright light on you

I have deleted most of my (since 2008) posts - a few have no option to do so - and like to cancel my membership on this public platform as i do not want to be part of a censored community while at the same time helping the owner to peddle car insurance or create income with advertisement with Google ads.

How do I delete my account and have my personal data deleted?
