B"H
Well, the Revava Forum is at it again.
I'll just present the facts, and you can make up your own minds.
A week ago, I posted on the restraining orders served to various residents of Yehudah and Shomron, including Yekutiel Ben-Ya'akov. After all he IS one of the residents of Yehudah and Shomron.
A few days later, I logged on, and found that ALL of my 86 or so posts had been deleted.
I wrote to admins/moderators David HaIvri, Cold Matter, Ish Tam, and Lenny, asking them what might have happened:
B"H
David and "Cold Matter,"
I was wondering why all of my posts were taken down, and with no explanation.
They just disappeared.
Thank you for getting back to me.

Cold Matter wrote back relatively quickly, saying that he had no idea, that there was no record of it in the moderation log, and asked if David had responded.
I wrote back, and said that he had not responded.
Today, I logged back in. My posts were still missing. I posted something completely non-controversial.
A few minutes later, I was logged out. When I tried to log back in, I got a message which came up: "That username does not exist."
I never received any warning whatsoever, not for abuse, not inappropriate content, not for anything. I was listed as a member since November, 2006, with only 6 or so posts. So, I do not see how anyone could consider that "spamming" the forum either.
The bottom line is, and I have said this to David HaIvri publicly on his forum, that it's his forum, and he can do what he likes with it (including the formation of his own rules).
Of course, now that all of my posts have been erased, I can't prove that.
Who would remove someone like this from a forum? And why?
I have no doubt that the owners of the Revava Forum believe that this incident, along with others, will simply fade away from people's memories.
...and they're right; it will.
None the less, I thought I'd mention this incident. You can decide for yourselves what to make of an organization that does something so sneaky like this.
