Apple Hiding Issues from Public View, due to ‘Image’ concern?

Although this is not a new occurrence, In a recent post over at Mac Rumors, member Mcdj notes:

“In a Google search for answers to the problems I described in this post, I came across a page on the Apple discussion boards. When I clicked the link, it came up as a non-existent page on the discussion board…i.e. the post had been deleted. I went back and clicked Google’s cached version of the page. I expected to find a long flame war or profanity laden rants…the kind of stuff Apple usually yanks.

Instead, I found this…

Why would Apple go out of their way to delete a seemingly innocuous post?” …

Unsurprisingly to me, this action proves Apple are currently clearing their discussion boards of posts which might in any way make them ‘look bad’.

In another post on the same thread, Marvis notes:

“Apparently Apple would rather their customers suffer through daily three hour restores than be aware of a solution that takes only five minutes.”

Apple Discussions is an online service, available for everyone to raise discussions concerning problems and solutions of current and past Apple products.
