    The AB-Staff/moderators must have their hands full. They can't review these as closely as they should.

    I am guessing that somebody saw "website" and thought it was "spam". There are numerous questions like this and they aren't spam. Rather fun IMHO :)

    Send a note via feedback and ask that it be reinstated. Does that help?

    Yes, the AB staff review the flags users set. However, they're notorious for approving and rejecting flags that shouldn't have been approved/rejected.

    But questions must be answerable without having to go to an external website, otherwise it counts as spam.

    buxtonite ..slowly losing my mind

    there seems to be a hell of a lot of trigger fingered moderators on AB lately and a lot of stuff that is being flagged shouldn't be flagged ... seems the greed for moderation points is getting in the way of people doing moderation for the good of AB instead its being used for the advancement of peoples points and nothing more, I found it a good question and found nothing wrong with it ... sorry to hear it got pulled but this crap will continue untill the moderation points are taken back to 1 point instead of the 5 points it is now ... maybe then the greed factor maybe reeled in

    I hope you get that question re-instated. It was fun. I sent the link to family and friends, it was also the topic of the day at work. If extra feedback to staff will help let me know and I will toss in my two cents worth.
