The same thing is happening in the Orkut network, used by millions of brazilian users. Google has added new "spam measures" that are silently removing from communities sight several threads and even scraps. They just need to have any kind of hyperlink at all, to be targeted and removed.
They are gone/missing without any chances of recovering, or placed in the "spam folder" (and then you/the admin need to go there and restore them). Just like we are doing with our email accounts, but even worse! I saw several threads/people complaining about this. And some threads were not recovered.
Orkut was always bugged and awful, but now it's beyond our imagination. And I can assure you, some threads are not caught without reason.
This was a good example of a thread "censored" by Orkut. I have reposted everything inside it, restoring the old lost thread. Use Frontpage Express to open it.

I recommend that all of you get rid of Google as son as possible and use your own paid hosts, free from any censorship. Better yet - use the PirateBay method of hosting, and you'll be even safer.
Youtube have followed the same path, with this new tool used to remove videos with music contents. They don't even bother to contest these measures. Since what they all have done was cooperate with bad people.
Sadly, this is not a surprise.
