WSO mods deleted half of the posts about UBS in the #2 most popular UBS thread in this forum:
It's an insult to freedom of speech and an insult to the users of WSO who have stuck by this forum for years despite the many alternatives (reddit, fishbowl, chatgpt)

The forum has certain rules, and I assume they are not trying to get sued. There are still a bunch of threads, comments, and commentators who are either current UBS or ex-UBS that shit on UBS and are top of the forum. I think there are some rules about not being able to directly call people out/identify them for libel reasons. The top posts have been UBS-related for weeks now, and all threads are pretty much the same people with top comment or posting and those people are all still allowed to post. Think they are doing a decent job of allowing UBS discourse, and certainly not stopping all of it.
Not libel if most of them suck and have no real deal flow
I think it's more a case of them being scared of libel lawsuits, I highly doubt a forum like WSO has enough money to continuously fight lawsuits from UBS and/or various senior UBS leaders. Again, tbf, most of the UBS posts are up, and as are the comments, the vast majority of which hate on UBS. The person who posts the most anti-UBS stuff is verified on this forum, as are a few other common anti-UBS posters.
