I saw this on my second day here. Any member reports your post and its automatically deleted, even without a moderator checking it, because they're not that fast. A couple of members also PM'ed me to continue their point asthey were blocked by the OP. So I created a group for free debate. The only rule is to have a point/stay on point. Other than that, you're fine.

All are welcome.

No Holds Barred

Assuming that the admin was right about the part of deleting the post because it was supposedly promoting /wishing death to others(which I agree with the admin on deleting it) , still it is not right to put the post back saying: "I've put the post back up, hope you are satisfied with the result. If one more member flags it, it would be removed."!!! So you didn't remove it out of a principal but you are waiting for '1 (hating) flag' te remove it(again)? I understand that 'freedom' is relatively taken but in my opinion you need to either have some rules and enforce them too no matter what or just to don't have any rules at all. On both choices you'll find out if this site will stand its grounds!

God damn. This is a privately owned site. You are not entitled to anything. If you don’t like it go elsewhere.

There is NO free speech here. There is only ALLOWED speech as determined by the owner's terms-of-service, as it should be.

Your experience is very like what happens at youtube. An idiot does not like a video, they complain, the video is demonitized, or deleted, and NO REASONS are given. This is actually against the law that pertains to YT, Twittee, FB, were originally allowed to operate.

A bunch of moderators here seek such power without responsibility.

I think the Terms of service should require admins to explain exactly what was a violation of which rules.
The person who creates and the moderates a group has control over what can be posted in that group, as long as such rules do not violate the website’s terms of service.

Unfortunately, way too many groups are run by regressive-left SJWs who are so very woke about how feelings are more important that truth and facts.

I was banned by one of the leftee groups a couple of weeks ago because I posted some facts about the number of killings during the previous month by the adherents of The Religion of Pieces, and how they spread darkness where ever they invade. The lefters here do not like hearing about how evil islam is.

What is think is WRROOOOONNNNGGG is a post being deleted from a group that does not violate the site’s TOS, and is ALSO deleted from the top level forums.

When I post, I do it to a group and also to one of the top forum categories. If it is deleted in a group, it should not be deleted from the top level general groups. Only the owner/admin should have that power.

So, keep on posting, and always post to two groups when possible.

That difficult fine line between controversy and a shit show, somebody has to draw that line or it becomes a shit show because things always evolve in that direction. Hats off to the admins for doing the altogether thankless job of separating the wheat from the chaff. I have wound up in the chaff pile on many occasions myself when I went from controversy to shit show, I'm still standing.

A waste of time

Population SHOULD be controlled!
Against censorship.
Usually.

Oh my god. You’ve had your say. Over and over again below. Let it go and find something truly important to take as your cause. Sheesh.

FB and Goggle admins run all over this site!

They are trolls of the right wingers!

Post it again!

Censorship of any kind is always despicable. The site has some rules that hopefully you've read and agreed to abide by them. Unfortunately and additionally each group has its own standards and rules, by joining you accept these, so not much you can do. You have freedom of choice to join any group you want but read their rules first. Once you join, you're bound to their rules.

I'm not advocating really harsh or abusive attack(s).

I have been blocked by what could be described as folks not responding to (what I think) are legitimate issues. One blocker, having responded last, accused me of trying to 'get the last word', then blocking me so I could not respond, then UN blocked me the next day. wth ?

i think that depends on whether a post is offensive in a broad sense of the word. Making plainly racist remarks, for example, shouldn’t be allowed.

Did you try to say that a plague or pandemic could be helpful to control overpopulation? If you did that could be an offensive comment. It offends me. You have a right to say it but if the admin feels it goes against community standards, post something else.
