Complaining is pointless. This site is run by modern scum, and all modern scum hate free speech, so nothing will ever change here. If you want free speech, you have to develop your own platform.

Free speech online means one thing: CESSPOOL.

If you have free speech, you will have >90% ads and spam. Simple as that.

Because see, back when the West had true free speech, we also had MORALS. But the scum that want to use free speech against those who just want to, you know, speak freely, DO NOT have morals.

This leaves us with moderated speech as a best case of any usable discussion medium.

ad and spam removal is fine. JC's recent post got [removed]. not sure why, it certainly wasn't spam although it may not have painted the current site culture in a good light

Oh I agree, I am not siding with a heavy-handed moderation style. I try to stay away from internal politics but right now it has become too disruptive even for me.
