Recently I have become aware of a frequent occurence by the moderators of He-man.org. They like to censor almost anything that doesn’t appease their views. Many of you have been on various forums across the web, but do you know what the definition of a forum is. A forum is defined as public group of people having an open discussion. So should a forum be censored?
In my opinion a moderator should only censor vulgar and improper language. What does He-man.org do? They censor anything they don’t agree with. I have come across many posts that have been censored that shouldn’t, but one in particular was ridiculous. The original post read something like this
“this whole 1 figure a month thing is absurd, I wonder whose “genius” idea at Mattel this was. Don’t get me wrong, i’m excited to see new figures done in a classic style, but the numbers thing pisses me off.”
Ok “pisses” might be considered vulgar based on the whole He-man being a kids thing, but kids now a days don’t play with or watch He-man. This forum is mostly for collectors. Below is a sceenshot of the moderator edited post.
Feel free to chime in on this, but ask yourself these question first. Did this post need to be edited? Do the moderators at He-man.org take there powers of control just a little bit too serious?
Update: Someone just commented this on Digg:
Wow they must really be nazis, you cant even use gmail email address to sign up for the forums. They don’t like people who use free accounts because they cause trouble. Give me a fuc**** break.
Update 2: AOL addresses do not work either now.
