gg feels the need for censorship of the forums
Cancel culture I believe
You get cancelled if people get upset nowadays
Ask anyone who knows me what my philosophy on moderation is. Or go to one of my forums. pretty much zero moderation.
I like it when people have to defend the stupid stuff they say. I like it when people get to say what they want, as long as they aren't breaking any laws.
In 15 years, I've banned about three people from my FW forum. One was threatening people from the forum in real life and the other two were for personal reasons. Other than that, no moderation.
ICOM does have a couple of rules, PLUS if you are just there stirring toejam I will bounce you in two seconds. ICOM is not FW and it's mean to be for people who actually like each other. My friends and anyone else who wants to join and be friends.
If I were moderating this forum I'd loosen up the moderation a lot from what it has been. But if all you offer is negativity and insults, you'd probably be gone.
