Rigondeaux had posted a link and some information about sports betting touts, It's been removed. Did he ask for the removal himself? Touts pick sellers broken down

I respect anyone's decision to ask their own thread or post be removed if they have a legitimate reason.

I highly doubt any AP would ask him to remove a thread outing sports touts.

The loss of that thread is being looked at. It may have been inadvertent, there may be a reason I'm not aware of. I was reading it today and thought it was very good info. I hope it wasn't me fat-fingering it from my phone, but we'll see, I guess.

According to him he didn't ask for a removal.

Sports betting thread. Here's the article, since I guess that wasn't a problem. I don't feel like re-writing my hot take though.

Still wondering why it was removed in first place? IIRC a few of us were suspended for suppressing information (freedom of speech was brought up )

It's looking like it was inadvertent / accidental . I'm not 100% sure it was me, but I was reading it a few hours before you noticed it gone. Reading from my phone, where the formatting is such that scrolling to the top of a thread sometimes puts me perilously close to the flag button; not the case from the computer. I didn't see it go, but I suspect I sent it there.

So, unless I hear further from another moderator, that's it and I'll make my apologies now to the forum. I would request that anyone who posted comments repost them; I saw nothing objectionable.

I would also love a toolbox change that asks you to confirm intent if you are flagging something; no idea what that would take programming-wise, though.
