Censorship??

What censorship??

There are a clearly defined set of rules in place here

By using this site you are agreeing to adhere to them - management also reserves the right to change them at any time, without notice and without notification - this means that the responsibility falls with the user to ensure they comply. These rules are not unique - pretty much every commercial site with an open user-base has something similar in place. Boonex had the respect to let everyone know that see more they were changing the rules - they even posted the rules up and asked for open comment on them.

So think about it...

Harsh? No.

Fair. Very.

Perhaps the memory of the flame wars and actions of the amateur melodramatics society have already been forgotten? These changes here are for a reason and a very good one.

Hector / jtadeo - I really don't envy your position - but keep up the good work guys

Semantics DM. Just because I put in a set of rules doesn't mean the practice of removing/moving/adjusting/covering etc isn't censorship. Those are just rules for the censorship.

The word unfortunately comes with a slightly negative connotation for some. I was merely stating that the 'rules' set forth here are not particularly my point of view.

But Like I said, I try to follow their rules while I'm here, even if I don't agree with them. I run my sites my way, you run yours your way and Boonex see more runs theirs their way.

Semantics maybe - depends on your interpretation.

My point is that regardless of whether we actually, theoretically or philosophically agree or disagree with the rules, by using the site we are actually all legally stating we agree with them. Which means that we have to abide by them.

IMHO Censorship is the suppression of the right to the freedom of speech.

There is freedom of speech here at Boonex, but with some simple caveats - it shouldn't be offensive to others and it should be in see more the right place.

Not at all DeeEmm - it has not been forgotten, but Boonex has over corrected. The community needed adult supervision, not hall monitors.
