I'm not sure if it's an example (surely it's used in AmE too?) but in a spectacularly dumb one, I felt, Amazon recently discarded (completely! no possibility to edit it!) my lengthy & detailed & photograph-laden review, because I commented on the quality of the 'knob'.

Yes, in American English we have non-genital knobs as well. Very bizarre they would take down a review for that.

Didn't even accept it in the first place. I would have reworded it happily of course - but it really annoyed me and put me off ever bothering to review anything that it just completely destroyed it; I could start again from scratch but all my effort was wasted so just abandoned it at that point.
