Dan Saltman went live and pointed out something strange happening in Asmongold’s community forum. A post linking to moistcr1tikal’s video about an ICE-related shooting had been taken down with a “politics” label attached.
Charlie’s video discussed a recent shooting involving ICE. Someone shared it to Asmongold’s forum where fans typically post content for the streamer to review. That post got removed by moderators who cited the community’s “no politics” rule.
Dan read the removal notice on stream and questioned why this particular topic was being treated as off-limits political content. He argued the forum seems to enforce its rules inconsistently based on whether the content reflects badly on certain narratives.
Things got weirder as users started checking whether the post was actually removed. Some claimed they could still see it. Others provided screenshots showing it had been taken down with a “low engagement” removal reason despite having over 250 comments.

The post appeared to cycle through different states. Removed. Then restored. Then locked so nobody could comment. Then unlocked again. Users watching in real time couldn’t agree on what status it currently had.
Several people suggested the post triggered an automatic removal filter due to mass downvotes. Moderators may have then manually restored it before removing it again. The exact order of what happened wasn’t clear as the situation kept changing.
