It seems they deleted a gray comment of mine criticizing Tesla. That is immature on the part of whoever nuked it. I’m betting pennies to dollars it was Raphael, since it was his article.
“Tesla is starting to come off not as a shiny can-do-no-wrong startup and more of an incredibly immature, irresponsible company that has forgotten... no, completely and intentionally ignored corporate history.”

I thought Jalopnik hated Tesla? Also, I don’t think they give a shit about grey comments.

Elon and I have the same alma mater, so I’m always rooting for him, but, god, he can be the worst.

If they did, my comment disappearing from the grays is weird.

Chances that kinja ate it are pretty good.

Wait... deleted for that? There isn’t any NSFW content, no F-bombs, no threats of violence...? How exactly do they even let people ‘into the black’. I’m grey there too. :(

Better be careful, you are going to end up with Hulk Hogan on your doorstep!

I feel like royalty or something because I’m in the black there...

That sounds like Kinja not Raph.
Jalopnik is hardly a Tesla fanboi, and there is nothing offensive about your comment.
It’s *possible* one of the Tesla fanboi commentariat flagged it, I suppose, but my money is on Kinja.

Well, maybe they want to avoid a shitstorm. It wouldn’t be the first time Jalopnik deletes comments to qualm commenters.

Until Kinja starts sending users notifications for stuff like this, your best bet is to email them ( https://kinja.desk.com/customer/portal/emails/new ) and act like it’s a glitch. Who knows, maybe it actually is.

I got blacklisted for dissing Tesla (and mocking their haughty editors who pretend to be legit journalists), but that was back when they were shilling without shame. Today they air a negative view at least now and then.

I alternate in and out of grey’s depending on whether I’ve triggered (or been triggered) that week. :P. Funny enough Ive been in the black on Jezebel and Kotaku but I lost them in a matter of days. I think I’ve become one of those wretched internet trolls who I use to loath :(

Hmm I wonder why, I’m sure we’d all like to know the criteria.

Oh don’t get me wrong, outside of Oppositelock I’m quite uncivil, probably deserved them all.

Yes, I’ve seen you do this before:
