You know, if we keep letting the Left censor small things, eventually they'll start censoring everything they don't like. I'm starting to see why people are being drawn to Trump now...
The other site I frequented was censored to a horrific extent. It's ran by a Chinese corporation. Rule number one is you can't talk about the rules. Rule number two is you can't talk about actions taken by moderators. I can't access what the rules are and don't really know them, though one can understand how information about such can be gleaned from paying attention. The whole site is wrought with lies, deception, corruption and abuse of power.
The first time I got banned was because of a discussion about how expensive a game is while called "free to play". The moderator tried turning the discussion into an argument, began failing at that effort and couldn't hold his ground on any point(lies and deception), so he got the lower down moderators to agree with him and gave me an infraction for "trolling". I apologised and was given another infraction. My apology basically was an "I'm sorry" to the posters, including the moderator, and an explanation that I couldn't access the rules for posting. My apology was construed to be discussing the rules and discussing actions taken by moderators. In reality though, the moderator is a bitch with a forum badge and a sadistic mentality that couldn't handle being proven wrong.
Compared to AVPG and moderators here, you would think darkness to be an angel of light and the moderators to be saints.
People really don't understand that once Pandora's box is opened, it's a problem for everyone. Free speech is only regarded and respected by the most civilized and virtuous.
On the topic of posting in the general discussion area and what people may think, let's be honest about a few things; all any of do is wait for the time when we get ours from our niche galaxy. Little appetisers here and there only to wet our appetite further and remind us of how we wait. Waiting for what is the best and most dynamic of gameplay from such succulent concepts gets rough for me. Nobody should be diluted in their thinking about what horrors lay just beyond the horizon to the extent of thinking, in space, in the darker parts of our hostile paradise, that political ideologies won't be replaced by the basic tenets of survival.
