ARE Many posts are missing from the thread on TSD?
why?
Who is trying to hide the truth?

El Cid, this may be difficult for you to accept, possibly due to your medication, or perhaps you just aren't the sharpest tool in the box, but forums generally need some degree of moderation.
You seam to be confusing moderation with censorship. Lets take the Steintz thread at TSD as an example. Quite clearly, Steintz was simply someone who thought he could make a few bucks from selling an EA to the gullible, and a thread was started soliciting funding.
A few people initially pointed out the obvious flaws with the strategy, MTF indicators repainting, trading without a stop, poor reward risk ratio etc. Some of those posts where well thought through and well argued, and as such where valuable contributions. Unfortunately an awful lot of the posts where just incoherent ranting from people such as yourself.
The moderators decided that the author of the thread, and those who wished to participate should have the opportunity to discuss their project without interruption from numpty's with a personal agenda. Quite a few of those numpty's where vendors in direct competition for the hearts, minds and wallets of the forums membership. As a consequence of this policy, posts that where considered off topic where deleted. For your benefit, I'll point out that the same thing happens here, check the journey from the basement thread as a prime example.
Although blatantly off topic posts where deleted, quite a few posts do remain. For example, on a number of occasions the author posted back test results showing the strategy in a positive light. I posted several times pointing out the deficiencies in those results, and the tricks the author had used to optimize the EA's performance. Non of those posts where removed, and indeed I was actually encouraged by the forum administrator to point out exactly these sorts of issues and bring them to peoples attention.
On a number of occasions Steintz manually altered statements, these inconsistencies where pointed out, and the mods at TSD where quite happy for those posts to remain.
If you look at the thread in question, its fairly well balanced, on one hand we have a group of shrills pimping a product claiming 2000 pips a month (with no evidence to back it up) and on the other, a group of guys forward testing the EA on small accounts hemorrhaging money with statements and access to real time accounts to back up their claims. The contents of that thread do the author no favors whatsoever, it exposes the deficiencies in his method far more clearly than another vendor screaming this is a scam.
You claim that there was censorship, but in reality, for those who couldn't actually be bothered to contribute with reasoned argument, but just wished to whine whine and moan, the forum actually set up an alternative thread where people could post inane comments such as the unsubstantiated garbage you where posing daily.
If people couldn't actually follow simple rules and post the appropriate material in the appropriate place, then I'm afraid thats their problem. It's a bit like toilet training a puppy, its fine for it to crap in the garden, but you don't want it taking a dump on your bed. Same with your posts, fine in one thread, but unacceptable in another.
Most puppy's have enough sense to modify their behavior, you however do not, and thats why your posts where deleted. It was that simple.
I could point out similar instances in the other thread you mention. No one is trying to censor, there's some quite damming accusations made very early in the thread, direct questions asked and avoided that quite clearly send out signals that all is not as it seams. Those posts are far more damaging than the wining of a little boy crying wolf.
