Time flies. Looks like it was about five months. You might find these old posts interesting: http://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/nndi2/users_are_getting_banned_for_being_pro_ron_paul/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/nnohg/an_easy_solution_to_fix_rconservative/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/nnw16/since_rconservative_is_in_a_civil_war/

I'm guessing it was a couple of months ago.

Perhaps you did not read what I said. The moderators were deleting all Ron Paul posts. You're welcome to vote down items you'd rather not see. Cheers.

Unfortunately, TK, you appear to have different definitions of words. If you believe complete deletion of a candidate coupled with the threat of future deletions equates to self-moderation, you're welcome.

"his complete lack of popularity in the mainstream at least 10+ posts per day were dedicated to the man, someone who wasn't making any news to begin with."

I don't know what mainstream you're talking about, since there is an endless line of evidence of him winning state conventions and straw polls, etc. In terms of making press coverage, I think we can agree that "wasn't making any news" is one of those statements that is not technically accurate and therefore fits the characterization of hyperbole. Cheers.

TK, I wasn't keeping track of how many days. However, deletion from moderators, along with "the threat", is not self-moderation.

Go ahead and push hyperbole against Paul. You're only convincing yourself.

I haven't been following lately, but a few months back they were deleting all Ron Paul posts.

He is a constitutional conservative or paleoconservative. He is not a neoconservative.

When the mods came out aggressively against any Ron Paul posts and removed links to him—as though he was not a conservative—I turned my attention to other subs.
