Very sad to read you block me. I think you are one of best posters on site. I am not trying to be a troll. I'm not trying to convert people opinion. I am just frustrated with situation here in Argentina. I will try for change. I don't want to offend anyone.
This is what irks me as well about my friends who are Peronistas. They act like everything was A-OK for decades when it wasn't. I don't understand this. Each day there are more scandals of government officials stealing from Argentina and contributed to all the issues we are dealing with today. Milei and his administration are uncovering all of these problems and they call him the devil. When I ask what their solution is they don't have an answer. When I ask them about the hyperinflation situation we would be dealing with they somehow never engage and only say things were better with the devils we know. That is always their answer.
Wow this is horrible! Did they tell you they deleted posts? @TonyTigre how did you know the posts were deleted? Just happened to notice it on your own? Or do they email you telling you they deleted posts? This is really really creepy! What type of replies did you post? Anything questionable?
Can't be bothered either so the moment I realized this, I opened an account here.Several members on this forum have mentioned the same thing about editing posts and then not posting any notes about the edit. This is just wrong. People have posted that their post was changed and no edit notes were posted. Very strange!!As a new member here and relatively new in Argentina, foreign to all past discussions, I think it's important to underline it's not just about some political disagreement. I was aware of this forum expatsba.com and I just thought it was created out of politics so I decided to "stick with the original".
Then I saw random posts are edited silently by the moderator. He might even be changing the conversations between members as he would've liked it to happen. I'm talking about topics like where people exchange information to help each other like Migraciones experiences and the like.
He removes a word there, a phrase here, it is so strange I don't even know how to explain or understand what's going on
Making this about "Milei" or something would be a disservice to people looking for genuine information. Maybe the mods here should even make a sticky post about this. If I knew I would have never opened an account there and would have never contributed. Such a strange place.
I have never received an email indicating any of my posts violated any rules and no emails letting me know that any of them were deleted. My posts used to become live immediately until I apparently ended up on a restricted list of some sort. None of my posts on any platform have ever been removed or censored do to a rule violation with the exception in certain cases where a site didn't like you including links to the source of the info I was quoting.
@dai wow. How do you know that posts are getting edited there? You mention this but are these your posts that are getting edited? Or are you just reading a post and then going back later and seeing they are changed? I don't read that forum but now I'm curious about this. Do you know what the motivation is for these edits?As a new member here and relatively new in Argentina, foreign to all past discussions, I think it's important to underline it's not just about some political disagreement.

That is crazy! There is NOTHING wrong with that post. Never heard of something so strange on a forum. IIRC @StatusNomadicus had the exact same kind of edits or strange issues on that forum. Maybe he can comment on this thread about his experiences.
I don't know how it works but maybe people with email notifications on could have an idea.
@TonyTigre I went and read some of your posts and they come across as super informative, level headed and factual. Many of us here have made similar points about Milei. I liked your example of when a doctor prescribes amputation. I browed over several of your posts and they all seem straight forward and helpful. It's difficult to fathom someone editing or deleting your posts.
When people were complaining about posts being edited I mistakenly assumed they were being rude or something like that. It is whacko what they are doing. Seriously that sounds like some mental illness or something. Just wow! Thanks for sharing about this. I assume if it's happening to you then it's happening to many people. I read @StatusNomadicus's post a while back but I wasn't sure if he was exaggerating but now I know it's true.I was reading something I just posted and was like "I have to sort out my dislexia, I must have deleted a whole a paragraph by mistake!"
Then I scrolled up to realize how the post I answered was slightly edited. Really funny detail I clearly remember, there was this guy asking for help and received an unfriendly response at some point. He complained about the negative members but moved on. So next day he starts his message with "Hello positive members..." - And that was edited to "Hello members" I mean, really lol??? Of course the past complaint was deleted too.
My post questioning this was almost instantly removed, meaning, confirmed.
Exactly like @Larry says, most of the times he doesn't even put "edited by moderator" and that itself is a different level of wrong.
I'm sure you would find tons of weird stuff if you could compare somehow

Political differences shouldn't lead to fights. They're simply different ways of expressing ourselves, and they shouldn't interfere with our personal relationships. Everyone has the right to express their opinions, and each person has their own reality and reasons for thinking a certain way. I have friends who don't agree with Milei, but that hasn't caused fights or arguments between us. As they say in Buenos Aires, in gatherings we don't talk about politics, religion, or football, haha! It's important to maintain respect and tolerance for divergent opinions. So, you don't displease me, we just think differently! 😊
I talked to several friends that post on that board and the same thing happened to them. If the owner doesn't like a post he will somehow add you to some list and posts get delayed they told me. Then some mentioned posts getting deleted.
I heard that posts got deleted but editing like this is odd. This is a whole level of whacky!I was reading something I just posted and was like "I have to sort out my dislexia, I must have deleted a whole a paragraph by mistake!"

Too funny @FuturoBA ! I read that post and was shaking my head. I think people take things to an extreme trying to rationalize their argument. At a certain point it becomes more about trying to be right and nothing to do with the reality of conditions on the ground in Buenos Aires. Photoshopping a post? That is a whole other level of crazy!
Yeah here's the link

You read my mind @FuturoBA ! I was just thinking the same thing. I read the post about photoshopping and had to see it. I died laughing reading that! The nerve!Yeah here's the link
Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet
Obviously since all these quotes are in this thread. Guess it would be better to say "Porteños (in Palermo) cant afford to eat anymkre." I don't think I've ever seen someone come and so shamelessly make up quotes to attribute to people he disagrees with. Just to be clear, the quotes...
And the fresh part is the admin over there talking about post editing, when he himself has constantly been editing posts as well.
