So you have a problem with people wishing other people a happy New Year?
However, claiming this thread includes speculation and rumors about Apple policies is absurd.
If you'd like, I will report you and your concern to the hosts.
Babowa-
No, I like people wishing other people a happy new year, and I wish you one too. 
My posting here was NOT really a complaint about the original post.  It was an experiment.  I am new here and I have had a couple of posts removed on the grounds they did not conform to the site's policies.  So I am trying to understand better how the process works, hence this little "test".  I was looking for a post that did NOT say something negative about Apple but that DID violate at least a strict reading of the rules about acceptable posts.  No, I am not a lawyer, but legal thinking fascinates me.  The Happy New Year post met these criteria.
Several users have posted to this forum that Apple removes posts that seem to be critical of Apple, regardless of whether they violate the "stated" rules. If these allegations are true,  human judgment would be needed in order to implement Apple's policy and it is not obvious how that judgment is being applied.  I am curious. Does a user "report to the hosts" if he or she is offended by a post?  Does Apple have a computer program that screens for key words?  Does Apple have employees who try to read as many posts as possible?
By way of background and to explain further my motivation, my deleted posts I thought were constructive and consistent with the stated "terms of use".  It could be taken as critical of Apple, however.  So I browsed the forum in search of something that was NOT critical of Apple but that I thought was even less consistent with the stated terms of use than my deleted post. Clearly, this "Happy New Year" post is not a technical question. It was written by a non-native English speaker who may or may not have been drinking in celebration.   It is not offensve, but it is "clutter."  Also, "Avoid Speculation and Rumor" is a standard that can be interpreted both very narrowly or very broadly. Apple could use that standard to justify deleting almost any post that included a statment about what Apple might do in the future, and so I mentioned that too.
The hypothesis in my little experiment (thanks for playing) is that Apple will NOT delete the "Happy New Year" post even though it could be categorized as inconsistent with the rules.  If so, then the theory that Apple has an "unwritten" rule of deleting posts on this forum that are critical of Apple would be strenghened.  Of course, Apple could view this post as being "not constructive" and delete it while leaving the "Happy New Year" post  I may have just defeated the purpose of my experiment by answering your question as frankly as I have.
My current thinking is that I should not waste time expressing opinions here or engaging in "community-building" posts here.  This forum seems to be a brilliant innovation by Apple to get its customers to do the "support work" for it while also enforcing the same strict standards it imposes on its own workforce.  I've posted too much.  I hope I have not offended. "Like" if you like.
