Jeffacme Posted October 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) It would appear that the recent thread regarding an S2 for sale on the website has been removed in it's entirety. During that discussion two parties went back and forth regarding censorship with the LUF moderator strongly objecting to the use of the word censorship. Is not deleting a discussion in progress censorship? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjh Posted October 6, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2010 Is not deleting a discussion in progress censorship? Nothing a moderator could do would constitute censorship. Anyone is free to express him or herself, just not necessarily using this forum as the medium. We are all just guests here after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 6, 2010 Share #3 Posted October 6, 2010 I started the thread. I moderated it. Moderators are not prepared to have members attacking others in such a way. It wasn't a discussion any more, it was hijacked by someone. It's not censorship, it's moderation. Some members find self-moderation a problem, so moderators have to do it on their behalf.

Jeffacme Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted October 6, 2010 Who was attacked? People advanced an opinion and others challenged it. What's the harm and why was it so offensive that you moderated it out of existence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted October 6, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 6, 2010 Jeffacne, Please give the Mods a break; they give up their own time for a thankless task for free and imho get the delicate balance between offending the one versus offending the many pretty much right. Andy's explained his decision so we should respect it and move on. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffacme Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted October 7, 2010 It is weak and a little sad to live in a world where you are afraid to defend your own ideas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted October 7, 2010 Share #9 Posted October 7, 2010 Your posts were -not- censored. The thread was moderated, for other reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
