Perhaps the source was from a site that has forbidden FR from posting their copyrighted material.

Perhaps the story had been posted several times already.

Perhaps the posting wasn’t properly referenced back to the original online story.

Without being able to see the original post, and just going by your explanation, there is no real way to tell why it was pulled.

The point is that this is a private board, run by Jim Robinson and his moderators, and what they say, goes.

Jim is the one who gets sued for copyright infringement, so they police infringement very carefully.

It would be a nice enhancement to FR, instead of threads just mysteriously disappearing, if the mod could put a short reason WHY, where it could be seen.

Absolutely, I have no argument with that. I was just wondering if there was a stated criteria under which members would expect their posts to disappear.
