Forum Censorship - Some Proposals

[Steve_Everett]

I’ll need to go through it in detail again, but it occurred to me at some point, fairly early that ‘someone is taking the piss’, so to speak. I’m not sure the expression is kosher. Tat is, that flagging was being turned into a satirical game. Still, you’re right in the sense of abuse of power, though censorship in my book means disappearing the information. Just ‘one-click-away’ hiding it draws attention.

Well, if it was a game, it was a bad one

I agree that one-click hiding does draw attention and I made that very point in one of the posts that was then suppressed. One of my posts in that thread was flagged twice (i.e. once when I originally posted it, and then immediately again after I edited it), so consequently it is now permanently hidden (or has been for nearly a month now) and no longer ‘one-click away’. There may have been others like that as well.
