I put up a similar thread on ATS, almost word for word from here. I did a better presentation of the material using the dead drop angle and added a few things. After 8 or 9 flags and one reply, they shit canned it because it wasn't inline with "the spirit" of the T&Cs.
The private message said that is was nice thinking out of the box, but it had to go. Apparently they didn't approve of "cyber squatting" on abandoned boards, but personally I think they are scared of getting the big red hammer from our dear leaders of the USSA.
I think that canning the thread was an endorsement of the idea in a way and it also shows how ATS is self censoring, even beyond their T&Cs, to avoid getting shut down. Obviously not the best place anymore to express ideas that may get the negative attention of the cancel culture socialists in office. All the better reason to "cyber squat" on dead boards with absent moderators to continue with online free speech IMO.
ETA: Also a good reason to post here, no fear based censoring of unsanctioned topics.
