Why Was My Thread Removed?

[Aleks]

I posted a thread about a week back now on the news section. It's purpose was to inform people about the new leaked images of the HTC M8. I was surprised when I saw that it had thousands of views within the couple hours and over 100 people reading it at one time. I later found out that @LinusTech had posted my thread on his Facebook page. I was really proud of that thread and it saddens me now to find out that it has for some reason been deleted? If anyone has any info or has had experience with this happening to them I would love to hear from you. Thanks!

where did it go??

[tristan1035]

NDA perhaps?

Lol, that's what I would like to find out!

[Aleks]

NDA perhaps?

I suppose this is a possibility. The thread still shows up on his Facebook page though so if it were NDA I would think he would delete it from that as well.

It's not likely that you'll get an answer as the staff here seems to like the 'hush-hush' approach of doing things and not talking about them.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if this thread 'disappeared' too haha

Probably deleted due to a rollback. We tried migrating hosts however had some issues and reverted.

I think its merged (check post #17): http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/115493-new-htc-m8-leaked-photos/

leaking images and info is actually breaking the law and hosting such content can result in legal procedings, this is the most likely reason why

Thank you for the quick response, this is understandable now.

Looks like that is it! I can see why they merged it. The two topic were very similar!

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

No it's not illegal.

Unless @Aleks physically signed the NDA with pen and paper himself, he is not bound to it.

To be honest I don't think that is the reason, the news section is filled with leaked images and what not. If it is illegal I dont see why Linus would share it on his FB page. Thanks for the input though!

No need to laugh He was giving his input. Now he knows

I really dislike when people claim something is illegal have literally no idea as to whether it truly is or is not.

It's alright man, it may have been an honest mistake and he just may not have known we've all been there ;p

How is it breaking the law?

 

I don't disagree that legal proceedings might happen, but those would be civil and against anyone violating an NDA not necessarily against the poster, web site, or ISP.

They're part of the mafia! lol
