I also think it's funny that the mods are letting this thread live so long.
I'd be curious to see what the mods are talking about in their moderators only section of the website. If you've ever been a moderator of a website, you know that there are page is only accessible to moderators where they can discuss things like this. |

If the LMPD contacted the site concerning thread content it would seem to me that several of the higher-ups of the "hive mind" should have been involved before the edit and subsequent lock.
Regardless, the way the decision was reached to edit should not be some sort of secret.....Sure, one can agree or disagree but to just leave it hanging out there does the site no good at all. |

Dang, I must have missed all this. Not really liking what I am reading, IF I am getting the full story. ?? I'm thinking about all the Chinese factory workers I have seen injured in various horrible fashions, with links to video posted on this site. Would the pics of the dead Epstein be removed upon request? Something isn't adding up for me. Dead Epstein. Died: January 26, 2012  Rest in peace Juan. |

The thing I like the most about AR15.com is the news coverage of major events. They contain a ton of information as well as incorrect things and jokes but still they are very informative.

Is there a certain level of government the request has to come from or can anyone request a censor?
Arf has shown a lot of dead bodies and videos of people meeting their end. I’m guessing in a perfect world most of those people’s families would rather it not be shown. |

Maybe the site is busy doing a health/ welfare check or intervention on one of their own.

Maybe it's just a technical snafu or something that wasn't thought out very clearly, but only a boot-licker would think it's alright. I agree with those who look at this site and discussion board as a primary source of unfiltered news, events, and opinions. At the very most extreme action, maybe the policeman's face could be "fuzzed out" or something like that, but when the photos are already all over the internet, it seems like foolish endeavor to lock the whole thread...makes no sense. |

Realistically speaking, what are the odds that the London Police Officer's family are Members of Arfcom? Pretty slim would be my guess.
If they aren't and actively sought out Websites where the photos had been posted under the absurd belief that they could be scrubbed from the entire internet, I have no sympathy for them. Of course, the much greater likelihood is that someone is feeding either the Site Staff or us a load of bullshit. |
