Is myLot TOO Liberal?

I guess I've been here for a month, give or take, and already I'm witnessing vast censorship. Some of the discussions I've commented on have been taken down. myLot cites rules or guidelines being broke for the reason. A Plaxico Burress discussion was removed, a 911 suspects discussion is gone, and there are a few more which have come up missing.
I'm not entirely sure if the respected authors are removing them; maybe they broke copyright laws -- I'm not sure. Does myLot have uber-sensitive members (staff or otherwise) who drift around policing the site, marking what they don't approve of?
I'm not making an accusation, although, I hear about some crazy sites around that allow Bush bashing but remove any Lib dissing. Say it ain't so!
Maybe everything gets removed after a while here. Maybe this won't be here tomorrow.

There are guidelines in place, yes; but it is mistly the members themselves that "police" this site. There is a plus, minus and report button next to every comment made and if enough bad reports are made on any discussion or post, then it gets removed by admin. Sometimes there don't appear to be any rules broken at all, yet things get deleted. The consensus of member inputs reign supreme!
