Search Results: questions are removed

I started doing it recently, because I'm not giving others a platform to complain, outside of the context of the question. If you use the question to soapbox without offering any kind of answer, you don't deserve to have your response seen. If you are just complaining because you don't like the question, you don't deserve to be seen either. We should all focus first on answering questions honestly, then maybe shoehorn in some of your own feelings about the topic or about the nature of the question.

I heard an interesting bit of research and asked a question to the GaG folks to see if they'd heard it, and what they thought about it. Question had some good responses and seemed to be fine. I got back on GaG and got this message.

"Your Question has been removed for spamming or trolling.
If you include links or personal information for the sole purpose of advertisement, solicitation, or attempting trolling, your post will be removed. Posts that solicit members in any fashion are considered Spam (this would include asking for contact or other personal information).

Question Title: Administering Testosterone To Liberal Males Makes Them Conservative?"

There's quite clearly nothing about this that is spamming or trolling by any definition of those words. I presume someone was offended by this and reported it for that reason. Is there any appeals process or am I just screwed?

Okay, I'm 95% certain this question has not been asked on this platform before. Maybe I'm incorrect, but I'm having a moment over here.

So remember the good old days of GAG, when everyone loved this platform and the moderators and admins were all "for the people"? Well, I don't. But I keep hearing about them. GAG's glory days. When the content was good, when trollers were rare, and when people actually put time into thinking of, writing, and responding to quality questions and MyTakes.

Many moderators still try, but they can't do everything. Especially when GAG's guidelines have gone to the dogs.

So what's my question?

If someone started a new platform which was like GAG but better, would you join it even if not many people were using it yet? Would you join the exodus to that said platform? Help it become something great?

What would you add to the list of guidelines/ideas the platform is built on?

Here are some things I would add to it:
1. Personalized feed/content.
2. Posts can only be featured for a certain amount of time.
3. In the "discover" page where you have something like Instagram stories, have an "anonymous" story that shows all the new anonymous questions by those you follow.
4. Moderators review all anonymous questions and remove them if there's no reason for them to be anonymous (I. E. when it's a question like "Do you like Trump or Harris").
5. Before making changes the admin holds a poll and only makes the change if over 50% of voters support the change.
6. A category for suggesting changes to the platform. Minimum of one user-created change per quarter if that change is supported by 50% or more of users.
7. Instead of removing borderline "adult content" that shows a little bit of someone's butt, have a page that can only be viewed by logged-in users who are adults AND who choose to opt in.
