WTF?! Post with 1000 votes vanished!

Here's what we know:

  • It's been researched out in other subs both on /r/conspiracy and /r/the_donald that the owner of the business is Andrew Kline.
  • The graphic posted stated the owner as Ibrahima Diallo without any information at all on how that conclusion was drawn. Comments pointed to Diallo being listed on the domain registration. This was not enough.
  • No work was done to ensure this Diallo is the same Diallo. At least not anything that I could see on the post or in the comments.

We have to be careful to do the proper research. This takes actual work. My gut reaction was to remove the post and encourage the poster to do further research. But I left it in hopes that the comments would flesh some of this out. The post stayed up for quite some time with no additional digging being done. If someone can make a more direct link between Besta and Diallo, and then show in greater detail that the Besta Diallo is the same Diallo tied to Hope of Guinea - please submit the post with more detail.

We want the same thing as you. We need to work together. We have to upload some kind of standard as to how this is done. Not every post removal you see should produce a "omg we're being censored!!!" reaction. We have to cover our asses here or this whole thing could go away.
