Censored on WOW Forums?

I posted a message on the WOW forums this afternoon some nagging thoughts I have about Cataclysm, namely, that I didn't see anything wrong with Azerothian content, did not want to see two factions' cities get messed with, and felt game designers ran out of ideas with the first two expansion packs. Also I vented about not wanting to see gnome hunters, tauren cloth wearers, draenei rogues or warlocks... and then Poof! My message went away.
Does WoW censor posts that aren't all glowing and raving with excitement over Cataclysm? I read questions concerning lore, and lots of "oh yay I'll get to be a worgen" and general "kudos to Blizzard" but I'm not reading anything negative and of course I'm wondering if it's because there's a damper on free speech over there. Anything negative is just removed.
Anyway Cataclysm reminded me of "New Coke" which was rammed down our throats when pretty much everyone was happy with how things were, and look how that turned out for Coke.

Your response has me confused... if my post was deleted it is unknown whether my position was in the minority or not, because people won't be able to post their responses The data you speak of (everyone isn't happy with the way things are) is well, nebulous and unsubstantiated. So why would Blizz remove my post unless they are censoring? Calling my post stupid isn't an answer since you didn't see it :P And of course it was nothing stupid, it was a very good post.

You do not have free speech on these forums or on Blizzard's.
You posting on these forums is not a right, it is a privilege granted by the owners of said forums. Said owners, or their acting agent, can and will take that privilege away whenever they wish.

Ask a moderator if he can find out what happened. If the post was deleted it would be good to know why, so you can learn. He might also be able to see if the software ate your post (which is entirely possible).

Given the number of negative posts I've read on the WoW forums (the primary reason why I avoid them like the plague), I can say with some certainty that if your post
was
deleted, and not just lost by the forum software, then it was in violation of one of the forum guidelines in some way.

felt game designers ran out of ideas with the first two expansion packs.
you do know they have been working on Cataclysm since before they announced that WoTLK was coming out right?

Not to mention that they have a ton of ideas they could still explore simply based on the groundwork laid down in the previous games and expansions - things like the actual Maelstrom, the elemental planes, the Emerald Dream, the time stream (Infinite Dragonflight), the return of the Titans to reinitialize (read: destroy and rebuild) Azeroth, the Eredarian home world...
I highly doubt they've run out of ideas. After all, this game, in one way or another, was birthed from tabletop roleplaying (or concepts therein), and people haven't run out of ideas for
that
yet. It may just be that they've run out of ideas that hold your interest specifically

Nope my post on the WoW forum wasn't venty/hysterical at all, nor poorly written, but merely a short and sweet "Anyone else feel like Cataclysm is not going to be fun, what's up with changing up my favorite cities" etc.
I didn't know that the forums there are buggy and after reading all y'alls comments I'm going with buggy not censored. Yes I have seen some flames posted that weren't taken down but most were venting posts and not well written posts and I'm sure if Blizz had anything to worry about, it wouldn't be from venting hysterical posts. Thanks for your reponses.
