I have a recommendation for staff trying to run a free speech site...'hands off' is a good rule of thumb when running such a board. At least give us one forum where we can post what we want.
I am not advocating flooding or CP, or incriminating or exposing others PI. Those things can be an exception, for the sake of the integrity of the forums.
There have been users banned for posting 'spam threads' in half baked...what the fuck for? There is too much 'micromanagement' and competing agendas here, talk about derailing a thread, management here is managing to derail the entire website....
