You didn't just notice that your post was 'soft' deleted, I had the courtesy to PM you and tell you that your post had been deleted.

Why do you keep saying "soft" deleted? What does that even mean? I made a post, you deleted it. Just say that.

You did PM me, but I've seen people here freak the fuck out when someone discusses a private message because they are sacred and confidential. So I didn't want to mention that. I just mentioned the deletion of a post that did nothing more than provide a news source.

There's no trolling here, CEO's obsession with suppressing Khmer news sources is clearly wrong and it's bad for CEO.

youre the only person complaining mate, no one else gives a fuck, feel free to read the khmer news websites if you want, or you can read it in English here

That's not true at all. Many posters have asked for the sources. Myself, Rama, randompeeps, taabarang, kiwincambodia, barang_doa_slae, phuketrichard, BOFH, Jaap N., alibaba, etc.

Were they all "trolling" too?

















Admin responded to this avalanche of posters requesting sources by agreeing to post the sources going forward. Specifically he wrote "Jeez, if it's that big a deal, we'll start doing it. You're welcome."

Then, after resolving the matter by telling posters in 2015 "we'll provide source links," CEO sneakily stopped posting sources again. Admin instead made a post a year ago "for all the people asking for the source" saying that "you're free to find the article yourself and post it here."



I did exactly that twice this week. I did what admin said to do. I found the source links myself and posted them.

My posts were quickly deleted and I was threatened with banning.

Oh, and the moderator who deleted my posts and threatened me with banning previously posted this:





The laughable thing about CEO's source link paranoia is that there's no one left at the other forum who gives a shit enough to "steal" the CEO links to Khmer news stories and post them there. Depriving CEO readers of informative source links that they have said time and again they want, and deleting those links if posters post them, just to prevent someone from the other forum possibly using a link now and then, makes the CEO leadership look like paranoid, childish, clowns.

Agree with Gavinmac. How hard is it to link to the source of the news? It's a pretty basic request which requires zero effort. Management would bitch if you were the ones to break news and a western newspaper failed to credit CEO/K440. If the news turns out to be misleading or false (or a bad translation) then it'll fall on the original source, or the news can be modified.

[EDIT] It would be a bit different if you saw news and then sent out your own reporters to investigate, make calls, film the events and write your own report, but that's obviously not the case. If you just translate something from another source, it should be cited. All it takes is an "According to..."​ and​ ​a link.

Great so those in agreement with posting source links are:

Cam Nivag
Bitte_Kein_Lexus
taabarang
Rama
phuketrichard
ali baba
Jaap N.
randompeeps
Anchor Moy
kiwiincambodia
barang_doa_slae
BOFH
General Mackevili in 2015 and
Username Taken in 2015-16

Those opposed are:

Jamie_Lambo
General Mackevili in 2018
and Username Taken in 2018

a brief look at the other forum shows that many news items are not linked to the original source.
why is this being made into an issue here exclusively?
seems a little unbalanced.
