The desert thread that had most of the posts removed yesterday didn't seem to be over the line to me. I think the worst that was said is the desert breeders knew females had issues and still sold them. I don't think that info should have been removed. I don't believe it was that negative or could result in any type of slander lawsuit or whatever the forums are trying to avoid.

On the other hand, I used to read a forum sponsored by a big breeder. Without ANY moderators it turned in to a bunch of guys acting like they were in middle school. "You're a moron", "No, you're any idiot", "Your mama is the idiot" etc, etc. It would take scrolling through pages of nonsense to find a bit of info. I haven't looked at that forum in years, I don't know if it is even still there.

Bottom line, I guess KS is trying to keep anyone from getting their feelings hurt and to avoid a lawsuit. I have no idea what liability they face for allowing people to post negative things about others. I hope they can find a sort of middle ground where a little bit of dissent is allowed without letting it degrade in to the silly name calling .
