The bus/cyclist incident in Washington was a rare exception, because there was a criminal case at the time, and therefore a need to protect the site and posters from finding themselves potentially in contempt of court. We'd reluctantly do the same if a similar situation occurred in the future.
What would be their reasoning for not allowing people to talk about incidents, assuming there were no legal proceedings that could be affected?.
Would it be to protect the driver (and potentially their feelings from people saying things about them), is it pressure from the operators to not show their drivers in a bad light, or is it something else?
