Is RP blocking questions?

Seems Like The RP Gods Are Upset; Posted two Viable Questions To RP And Both Have Failed To Appear In The Discussion Stream....Looks like I am getting sanctioned.

Sir,

Are you making sure to not duplicate questions/topics? I know that I have had that happen to me a couple of times.

CW4 Private RallyPoint Member, if your questions were otherwise appropriate, then it's probably what SFC Private RallyPoint Member said. Duplicate threads are frequently removed, and the guidance is to remove the newer post if it's essentially the same as an earlier post.

Our system indicates that in the past 2 weeks 2 of your discussions have been merged to duplicate discussions/topics. Otherwise nothing has been removed. Whenever we merge or remove a discussion you created you are notified via email.

Looks like you have an assumption and a hypothesis. I recommend you confirm/deny your assumption and test your hypothesis by contacting RP administrators directly. They can either confirm your hypothesis which will let you know why this is happening and take actions to change it or they can deny your hypothesis in which case they can help fix the problem. Posting this question gets after your issue indirectly. A direct approach might be quicker and easier.

The best solution I've found to prevent this is to type the proposed question into the 'Enter a question or a topic' box at the top of the page and see what comes up. If there are multiple discussions that pop up, it is likely your question will be merged at some point.

Some of my questions have been re-routed because they were very similar to previously asked questions, so always look to see if it has been asked before. And YES, if it appears rude or has swear words in the question, it will be removed. However, people can swear all day long with their answers...so not sure where the cut-off is.
