BGR TECH Censoring

I spend a good lump of time while at work reading and discussing tech articles and in all my time I've never seen a site actually remove non explicit comments. BGR constantly removes my comments that criticize their integrity.  I have at least 15 comments listed on DISQUS that criticize BGR's articles in a non explicit manner and all have "Awaited Moderation" then been removed while my other random comments go right through.  Is there an explanation for this or do they honestly just censor comments?

- EK Supremacy EVO CPU Block - EK FC 1080 GPU Blocks - EK XRES 100 DDC - EK Coolstream XE 360 - EK Coolstream XE 240 -

Never heard of BGR before, but I mean, what can you ask for? Sounds like a crap site that takes down comments about how crap their site is...

 

Exactly my impression, yet Google puts them front row center in tech news almost every day.

Maybe it's because you're constantly criticizing their integrity in a way they just dont feel like dealing with today.

 

Well they haven't felt like dealing with criticism a single time since the first time I questioned them almost a year ago.  

 

I like to think that questioning an article/source that completely sensationalizes it's articles and pushes it's own agenda is a good thing. A comment as harmless as "BGR has become the Huffington Post of tech news" is literally removed?  That's absurd.

Also I was just informed that any comments with BGR in them get flagged by default. Which when tested turns out to be true.

BGR is certainly Pro Apple, strange that they're featured on Google so often.
