Don't you hate it when a good discussion gets deleted? "Collateral Damage" is gone.

They could have simply removed the images, if that's what was considered so offensive.

Censorship implies freedom of speech.

This is a private bulletin for the use of our clients. Freedom of speech does not apply.

On the other hand... freedom of speech implies a lack of censorship.

These forums are censored, no question.

That is not to say that it's not within your rights to do so...

Did I say they weren't? By the way, the appropriate term in this context is moderated.

When someone chooses to violate this board, then it is not censorship to take appropriate action.

That's only because it feels better to be a moderator than it does to be a censor.

I edited...might re-read my post.

First amendment right to free speech? Not here. This isn't a public forum. Its hosted by a commercial enterprise that pays for providing the service and therefore has the right to moderate the content of that service.

If you want free speech, host your own forum and see how many people show up.

Hmmm... I don't recall anything Hangtime or I had to say that violated the board and yet the moderation has removed our comments also.

Smells like censorship... feels like censorship... tastes like censorship... it must be moderation.
