Resolved: Can we get a clear cut answer from Slickdeals about urlhasbeenblocked?

Hey there!
I've noticed that several comments in a few deals posts have been gutted to remove any reference to "urlhasbeenblocked", "Verdetoe", and "urlhasbeenblocked", a few of my posts included. To avoid any confusion and consequences of posting about this site, can we get a clear cut answer on the policy regarding this website? I'd hate to get a ban not knowing what the rules are when I'm just trying to help the community.
From my perspective, it's another site that helps Slickdealers get a good deal. I'm aware the website uses referral links (which aren't allowed on Slickdeals), but I've never seen anyone post said links. These discussions are usually to guide people to the site to help save money. If I get a good deal on a TV for $2,000 and some one knows of a safe and reputable place to buy it for $1,800? I'd want to know about it. I'd think Slickdeals would be the place to find out.
A lot of the time people simply ask "What is urlhasbeenblocked/Verdetoe/urlhasbeenblocked?", I answer them with a general description, and a few hours later everything was seemingly deleted by a moderator.
I love this site, I love this community, the debate and the common strive to get as good of a deal as possible. Having deals and comments mysteriously deleted comes off as censorship and as a "Buy this from here not there" mentality. All of this makes me worried my account will be punished for simply trying to help.
