It seems DJI is a bit sensitive about discussion involving a certain upcoming Mavic competitor.  Both ongoing threads were deleted after being allowed to roam the boards for a few days... moderators late to the party?   Hmmmm...

I noticed a few points drop off from my replies to those posts. I guess using what is effectively DJI's property (this forum) to kind of highlight or even advertise competitor products won't go down well and will be deleted.

Haven’t seen thread like that being deleted, maybe new forum rules maybe because of new release of Tello or new expected release on 23rd, there are many other threads with other drones being discussed around the forum.
Maybe be nice if whoever deleted this thread might explain why.

"Maybe be nice if whoever deleted this thread might explain why."

Or instead of deleting the threads, spend more time on addressing questions/concerns

After reading some of the threads I wonder how long it would be before that were deleted. I’m a little surprised that they weren’t deleted earlier.

It is stated in the forum rules indeed.
Advertising for competing products is not allowed.

But I did see the post and replied to it and lost my points also.

Yes, in fact it is.  Just find it strange to allow a topic to be around for almost a week and then decide to delete it.  I do understand it's DJI's forum though, and they have the right.

My understanding is that Ken no longer works at DJI, which is a pity because he was a great asset to this forum.

He was though I am very impressed by DJI Grace - her work on Digest and contests has been awesome. I've learned more from her posts than anything I've seen on You Tube.

What happened to DJI Ken?
I was on the forum for a while, took a break (other interests, nothing negative) and I don’t see his posts anymore.

Don’t know but he was a big loss to this forum, at least we could get some answers to questions, alas not anymore.

I think that it's perfectly normal DJI doesn't want ads of other products on their forum. Don't worry though, you're not missing much because MAVIC counterfeits always suck.

Freedom of speech taken from us ... I guess it is understandable but even DJI must realise competition is what keeps their eyes on the ball and their prices keen hopefully.

I've been on multiple forums throughout the years so this isn't my first forum or 'rodeo' as they say. Honestly these moderators are by far some of the most generous in terms of enforcing the rules on here. I've been on other forums where even for the slightest use of profanity or say something that doesn't sit well with them they''' ban or suspend your account in a hot second.

I agree, and I find the occasional comments about "communist" DJI ironic. If you want to see "freedom" in action then try posting even something harmless on MavicPilots about that forum's moderation and see how long it takes to get warned or even banned. And that's a forum owned and run by U.S. citizens.

In any case, these forums -- both this one and MavicPilots -- are privately owned, and the owners get to create and enforce whatever rules they want.

Which threads have disappeared ?

Or is it some posts within those threads ?

From what I've seen DJI are generally very good at allowing discussion, usually only deleting offensive remarks. Recently I saw my list of post shrink within my personal folder 'replies' list (like a reply history) but the posts still existed (or at least the few I could remember).

The search engine is not the best, and as mentioned by the moderators a Google search prefixed with "site:forum.dji.com " can produce better results.

So a google search for 'CES 2018' for example , would read 'site:forum.dji.com CES 2018'


Edit:- Having checked agan, my 'replies history' now seems intact, I wonder if it is just ongoing maintenance occationaly disrupting things ?
