>I just think everyone needs to chill out and share their real experience, good or bad, but also let new people know their experience may differ. Agreed. *I don't personally know if mods are doing that or if codesmith grads are getting their comments deleted, if that is happen

I know the mods attitude is to only delete things that are very clearly violations and really blatant. Not to apply opinions and not to judge in the gray area. I think the most borderline Codesmith-related thing I deleted that was in the multi-year long queue when I was added as a mod was a comment from 1 year ago that said 3000 Codesmith grads has mid-level and senior jobs that was reported for misinformation and there is first hand sources from Codesmith that show that that was not correct a year ago. But maybe that's one step too much judgement? I wouldn't delete ANY comment that was an opinion or just 'felt wrong' or something very vague like that. Maybe TMI, when I was clearing out the queue I approved comment I HAD REPORTED MYSELF like 2 years ago THAT INSULTED ME, but I didn't think met the threshold for removal with my mod hat one.... kind of weird hahaha.

>"I don’t have much to say about their replies, but honestly you come off as a complete twat. You’re arguing to try to provoke, and mad they didn’t take the bait." ​ Why was this comment deleted by a moderator? If anything this proves the OP's statement.

I didn't delete it FWIW

That comment had no right to be removed. This is pathetic, flagrant abuse of power and also reporting. "you come off as a complete twat" is not a "personal slur" and far worse things have been said on here. It's not even a slur as its an opinion based on what someone wrote.

That was my view, it was borderline but wasn't direct direct and but close so I didn't delete it, but someone else might disagree
