From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?

I don't believe that log is complete. Either way there are a few posts there that got deleted for no reason:

I'm curious why you think the log is incomplete? And the screenshots contain reasons, so I'm unsure what you mean by they got deleted for no reason.

Because I've seen posts posted to [email protected] removed that aren't on the log. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
