I got my points and I got 10 responses and the 250 points but I don't see the link anymore. Did it get out of control while I was at work all day?

Are you saying RP censors and is like Facebook? Maybe. I've seen posts disappear and come back to include non controversial ones. I think we are just dealing with a site that has issues sometimes. However, the way their points and voting system works for a story to disappear will easily cost it votes and it may never recover based on how long it is gone for.

Nobody has lost any points. The original poster was temporarily suspended after receiving many repeated warnings for violating our tagging rules. Many admins wrote him multiple times about how to not abuse the tagging system, but he either couldn't or refused to live within the same rules that work for the other 800k members. A temporary suspension was the next level of escalation after the initial warnings. Following that, it will be permanent, though we've never had to do that before. He may have the privilege of being the first one.

An example from yesterday was posting a meme about Chesty Puller and tagging it "family" -- those that come here to discuss family issues don't need to get his meme notifications.
