i'm quite sure there was a thread over here with confessions. People talked about Paris stinking, New York stinking, swears posted a nice picture, for which mistersloane offered him a nice service. Zhao said some ill-advised stuff. Then Nomos said it was the worst thread he ever saw, and now the whole thread is gone. What happened? Am i delusional or is there some kind of censorship going on around here?
A number of threads were deleted last night, including that one and one which had half a dozen quite graphic links to porn videos.
Mods also routinely delete emails offering cheap viagra and amazing offers to win ipods.
So, no, you are not delusional. There is no complete freedom of speech on Dissensus and never has been.
The thread in question was the subject of a number of concerned pms by posters here. At least 2 moderators agreed with those concerns.
Our main issue was with some comments being borderline racist, but also the distinct possiblity that that level of "confessional" content would escalate given the OP's "post anything, everything will be forgiven" tone.
I can understand that people might not agree with our decision but I have seen threads of a similar nature (on other boards) which have become most unpleasant very quickly.
