I've notice that posts in this community tend to get deleted, even ones with multiple comments and/or useful information. Even worse is when they get posted again by some other user a few days later.

What's going on? What's the policy around here?

    In general, I find that a lot of communities have overly strict rules. I posted a news article a while back to c/news and they deleted it because it was "not us news". At the moment I forget what the article was, but it was definitely of interest to us citizens, it just happened outside the US. Things like that have happened so often that I'm less likely to even try to post stuff

        I agree. I actually had no idea it was US news. Yes I know we should read rules and all but that seems like a stupid rule

        Yeah true. And in this case they were so adamant about it being us centric that they didn't care that it was one of those stories that impacts the us in a significant way…

      The balls of naming a community "news" and removing stuff that isn't of interest to a small fraction of the world population on an instance that should represent the whole world.
