The same thing happened to me when I rated as civil a remark calling someone a "leftist". I figured out by the third comment that I should say that it was uncivil, even though it was civil, in my opinion.

A lot of the regular posters are reporting the same problem, as well as civil comments being removed and uncivil comments left standing.

I personally had a comment removed when I described a real situation where I saw a woman wearing a niqab in Rockland shopping center, then saw her remove it in the parking lot and drive away.

Earlier today, I was responding to Bavius when his comment suddenly disappeared. Ironically, his comment was about comments disappearing.
