Quora tells me that recommending Project Avalon is Spam.

I recently received a serious question from a user on Quora.com:

How do I sign up to learn more with groups about ancient aliens, newfound artifacts, and the recent history?

So I answered him:

You might try projectavalon.net I’ve found them to be a good group of people with access to much of what you might like to learn.

Quora's reaction was to remove my answer, and provide this comment:
YOUR ANSWER HAS BEEN DELETED.
Your answer has been deleted because it was found to be in
Violation of our Spam policy.

And yet they allow other website links to be included in answers.

Guess they may have gone over to the other side?

That site is garbage, pseudo-knowledge and pseudo-intelligent people are all over the place, then they are so fragile that any little bit of knowledge that contradicts their understanding of the world is immediately reported as bad and then the mods act on it without even having any context or consideration, or even reading the 'offending' post at all

It only takes one butt hurt person who has some 'credentials' to report the post and it's immediately gone, regardless of facts or context or anything

Hi Mashika. I don’t know that forum, but I get the idea. I’ve got kicked off twice, and had a third lengthy mysterious no-access period, from a fave comment section at theDrive/theWarZone.

Mostly military, and almost entirely anti- and mocking Russia. Otherwise they can be great, besides the flaming Dem-supporters. I have contemplated introducing them to PA, but so far decided against it. They can’t handle links and talk about non-official 9/11 ideas, AND, had some weird problems with my iPad around about that time. So my decision was based on protecting the PA site, in case, in fact, the tech-smart guys there are some of the grumpy crowd.

Cheers, sis, hope you are well.

Like a lot of other places, it has a minority of users who compose some pretty good responses.

And like them, it is also in a frame. I tend to think there is hardly anywhere I can go that I can "talk" because I will overflow their parameters quite quickly. Similar to Quora, I could say there are Science sites that have some amazing user contributions, but, those are definitely not going to work the same way that Science is kind of just "on" Avalon, and you can question it in various ways, you can do almost anything as long as it does not get into personal attacks or rudeness according to some fairly basic standards.

I might almost take the deletion less personally and more symptomatic of robotic ultra-rightism.

Thanks, I've found that to be true. But for years they were OK, so apparently they are now emboldened. I'm about ready to hang it up with them.

Thank you for sharing this website. It is the first time for me to know it. It looks like not bad. I may spend some of my time on it.

Have a nice day!

I'm very active on Quora as it seems like a GREAT place to ask questions that make people try and actually understand things.

That being said Quora is clearly extremely censored and biased.

I've gone through more accounts than I can even count, ask the wrong question and you will get banned.

I am also certain that artificial intelligence answes certain controversial questions.

Sounds paranoid but when dozens of questions I've asked get answered in seconds with in depth multiparagraph answers it becomes clear.

Yes, I agree, and no, I don't believe you are being paranoid. They had a system to tell authors what their standing was in the communities. I was in the top five in four categories. I answered a question honestly, but perhaps they did not like it. I lost all of that standing immediately, and was from then on shadowbanned. I have more than a million views there, but suddenly I was not part of the status quo. Recently I read a book by a NY Times best selling author and he said Quora is now owned by Socialists aligned with CCP. So that explains some of it.
