Apple forum moderators began deleting threads about the consumer Reports on the same day that they changed their recommendation on the iPhone 4.

Originally Consumer Reports recommended the iPhone 4, but after the company recently ran tests they have changed their stance. Now they say they can?t recommend the iPhone 4 to consumers.

When the iPhone 4 is held in the left hand it suffers substantial signal loss. Touching the lower left hand corner blocks the antennas incoming and outgoing signal.

Apple discussion forum users decided to post the report once it had been released, But Apple moderator have been deleting these threads. And as fast as members post them again they are removed.

Tuaw.com has reported that at least 6 discussions have been removed. When trying to access the topics the following error is received: ?Error: you do not have permission to view the requested forum or category.?

The debacle continues as Apple will not admit a hardware fault. A software update was said to be being worked on, but Apple later admitted that this will not resolve the issue.
