I can see the banned comments, but yeah. I actually read or at least skim literally every comment and post on LW, so I’ve been sitting back for a while now.
I think Alicorn understood paper-machine to be claiming to see deleted comments in-place. I also think this because going to someone’s user page and seeing banned comments does not seem like the kind of activity that would count as a “privilege escalation bug”.
Comments were banned simply because thumbs down indicated that people did not want to read them.
CENSORSHIP because no one had to read what I wrote. They knew exactly what they would get when they returned to the thread as I was consistent throughout.
Although the mod asked me not to post. Another senior member pm’d me and suggested that I post less often and try to add something to a discussion that was agreeable to other participants. SO I’d wait a few weeks and then added comments including information from mathematicians in support of my conclusions, thinking that this would be more acceptable. Since it was not, I can only conclude that people are just NOT open to the different pov that I have.

So what’s up with that? I went to a lot of work writing those posts.
Is this the sort of thing done with approval of the site owner?
They were well thot out and reasoned posts. The majority were very civil and violated no posted rules. In fact there aren’t any posted rules that I am aware of. Just because my posts are annoying to some folks is not reason to delete them. NO one has to read anything.
I just don’t understand the reasoning there, or here:

The entire thread was deleted, but you can still read parts of it in the history.
Previously.

Then someone should probably know about the privilege escalation bug that allows us plebs to read banned comments.
You also see banned comments? I think the person to notify is Matt of Tricycle.
The ability to see banned comments on userpages (but nowhere else) is a feature.
(Someone taking the active step of clicking on a username presumably has a specific interest in seeing the comments, and ought to be able to.)

Depends on why the comments were banned. If it’s because they disclosed information which shouldn’t have been disclosed...
