There's some censorship going on in the newly popular feminist subs and it needs to be openly addressed.

I locked your thread because I answered your question and you said 'thanks'. There was nothing more to add to it.

You even privately messaged the mods asking what we were removing and we told you. We have updated our side bar to be in keeping with the rules of the site.

We are working hard to moderate the new GC space as this has all been very quick and to ensure that the on topic content is left on and off topic content is moderated.

You are entitled to be upset at your perceived censorship, but we are not mass editing, banning or censoring anything as of yet. If you are concerned you can check our moderation activity on the log.

    We have amended our sidebar and taken GC off of s/all

    We were advised this by established saidit users.

    We are settling in to the site after the Reddit bannings and we realize as a mod team that we cannot operate similarly to on Reddit.

    We want to keep the sub on topic and female orientated as has always been our goal.

    I don't think that it is unfair or against site rules to remove comments and ban users who are calling us "cunts" and that is their only contribution. That isn't censorship. We aren't censoring peoples ideas or stopping debate, in fact that is my own personal priority in 6 days when I can create another sub - to create a debate sub and moderate that one.

    Myself and the mod team are doing our best to walk this fine line given the circumstances.

      As a mod seeing the reports coming through, we are letting comments stay that 100% would have been removed and banned on Reddit. We are trying our best to navigate the new site.

      We aren't banning anyone flatly without justification. That is not something I am witnessing the other mods do and is not something I am doing.

      I have full trust and faith in the female users of GC here to ignore and not react to baiting questions or comments that are intended to detail or insult. I have told users to do this rather than presume that we can ban at will.

      As far as I know it wasn't an ulitimatum but a suggestion on how to honor the site rules.
