Maybe someone can enlighten me.

@stuartk I don’t think the process is automated. There’s no algorithm that runs as a backend process to identify posts that need to be removed. Or if there is, it isn’t very sophisticated. The system most likely relies on moderators reviewing the forums or users reporting posts they think violate the policy. That’s the only explanation I have. X or FB in example are large publicly traded companies that have the means to incorporate this type of automation. I don’t think there’s any specific agenda behind the inconsistency here other than what I just explained. 

As an outsider, I find it ironic that removal of @Secretguy’s original post as being political in itself says quite a lot about the current state of your country. 

You guys have got very thin skins.

​​​​​​Surely, calling people "nit-wits" is being abusive towards other members as quoted in the reasons for removing secretguy’s post. 

I've had that happen a time or two and no idea why. I think I made an observation about the effect of tariffs on the hifi business while saying I expressed no opinion about the merits of the tariff policy. Far from the vitriolic posts that are allowed to stand.

I don't really care-its not like my posts contain essential information and I'm sure moderating this group isn't easy, but the inconsistency is obvious.

It's not the post itself, but the responses it’s going to generate. Cut it off at the pass and all that.
