It now appears two of my posts that are factual, or what I would call "constructive feedback" from an individual subscriber basis, has been deleted by StreetEasy. Has anyone else had this problem? If so I would voice concern. I am in the process of hiring an attorney to get my two month's security deposit from a terrible landlord - which possibly could have been avoided if there was a prior post about how terrible the landlord is/was. At least my post could have saved future individuals from the headache - although I'm not seeing the post on StreetEasy - just a blank section where the text should have been.
For those that would like StreetEasy to show "constructive feedback" about landlords, please voice concern. I believe StreetEasy selectively not approving (or deleting posts) is causing their individual subscribers significant amount of money and it could be considered unethical as well - given they term themselves as "non-biased" and "bringing much-needed transparency to the New York City real estate marketplace".

Relax - no need to worry: Either SE recognized the landlord, a lucrative revenue generating SE advertiser - or they're the landlord themselves!
There - now wasn't that [Street] easy?!?

Depends if you're the lucrative revenue generating SE advertiser, or one of their subscribers (like myself) who are relying on "non-biased" and "much-needed transparency to the NYC real estate marketplace" like the CEO even states they do.
It would be interesting to see how many people have rented from a landlord who has had multiple run-ins about keeping tenants security deposits, or not fixed issues like they said they would - which StreetEasy could have helped the tenant prevent that situation if they didn't block a post that might have been written on that particular landlord. Or I wonder if there have been sales of apartments which were lemons that had a post on it which StreetEasy deleted the negative feedback ones. Anyone want to think about the average price of a 1- and 2-bedroom apartment in NYC, and think StreetEasy might have saved some individuals huge dollars and heartache by allowing posts that were factual or were constructive feedback on here? I for one, as a StreetEasy's subscriber, am not happy they selectively delete or not approve posts "IF" they abide by Zillow's "Good Neighbor Policy" and "Code of Conduct," policies....which I believe mine did.

Separate issue - I've been a paying customer ($10/month) for years and have participated on many of these boards and threads. But I cannot begin my own completely new discussion. I've tried a few times, and it simply won't post on to the street easy boards...
