Then what the hell is general discussion? The new type of censorship is to divide up discussion so we can't have a general chat. I had one locked earlier because it was not general to note that several of us (as it turns out) cannot read threads over 100 posts... which seems highly relevant to general discussion... but not in the new censorship. Instead it was locked, and not moved... brilliant.
There is an increasing badgering going on as to what is general enough to be general discussion and this is not healthy. Censors, lay down your keyboards and get a warm bath and a foot massage... leave threads alone unless they are really heinous... otherwise you do us all a disservice by breaking up what is naturally an open discussion here.
Seems the new DU moderation scheme needs some lessons on what free speech is... its unhealthy and drives away creativity and unguarded thinking... please.

1. I've also noticed what you're talking about, |
|
and I agree that it's frustrating. But I think we should really cut the mods some slack for awhile, since most of them are new and are probably just getting the hang of things. I think things will settle down in a couple of weeks.

we are always new. I hope it settles down now. It takes work to censor, it takes less to be a wise censor. When in doubt do nothing... when censorship is questionable, do nothing... how hard is it to learn to do nothing... seems a most innate skill.
Moderators, if you feel my critique unfair, then lock this thread. :-)

3. Actually, this thread belongs in the 'Ask the Administrators' forum |
|
I would expect they will lock this or move it. And rightly so. Censorship?!? Puh-leeze. They've explained the posting rules ad nauseum.
