Back in 2012, I posted a simple question about a local protest on a city Facebook page.
It was just asking if anyone knew the route for a march about park funding. The admin deleted it within an hour and sent me a message saying 'political posts are not allowed here.' I learned that even neutral questions can get shut down if they touch a topic someone wants to avoid. What's the most harmless thing you've seen get removed?

Seen a lost dog post get deleted, why?

Honestly, mods can be way too quick with the delete button. Saw a post last week about a missing cat, got tons of helpful comments, then poof, gone. Probably some auto mod rule about phone numbers in posts or something. Makes the whole community feel less helpful when that stuff vanishes.

Wait, did that deleted post about a missing cat have a location tag mods wanted gone?
