For several years yahoo provided a discussion B.B. on Yahoo News with a "button" at the end of each article where readers could follow the link to or create a new discussion. As time went by many of the discussions, especially about the Iraq War, became increasingly critical of the Bush Regime. Many "errors" started to occur, "discussions" disappeared for weeks, and when the reappeared many of the posts critical of Bush had been "disappeared".
More than a year ago Yahoo "suspended" the discussion feature, stating that the suspension was only temporary and would return when the system had been modified to limit the number of posts by individual users so that no one could dominate a discussion simply by constantly posting. That method already existed, there was already a limit to the number of posts a member could post in one day, so what was the true reason the discussion boards were done away with?
