@ddobrev raised this issue in the Community Meeting today. This is the transcript of what was discussed and Jolla’s reply for any that are interested:
(Stop) censorship in the forum (15 min – asked by ddobrev) (sledges, 07:50:09)
- Just the other day I saw @deloptes’s and others’ opinions censored for no reason at Total Buggy OS - Xperia 10 Plus (sledges, 07:50:16)
- Total Buggy OS - Xperia 10 Plus (sledges, 07:50:23)
- This is the first time I’ve seen any censorship here, and I’d like to discuss what we all can do to make it the last one as well. (sledges, 07:50:27)
- Nobody’s opinions are censored. Flagging posts is a good thing and helps us moderate the forum. Moderators will try to review the flagged comments quickly, but please be patient e.g. during weekends or holidays. (sledges, 07:50:39)
- Opinions are encouraged, rude language and name calling is not. See forum guidelines (sledges, 07:50:48)
- FAQ - Sailfish OS Forum (sledges, 07:50:52)
- ^ how to maintain polite and productive discussion. (sledges, 07:51:00)
- https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/forum-censorship-some-proposals/ (sledges, 07:56:06)
Point (4) is interesting since we are nearly four weeks on and the flagging/hidden posts still remain in the thread - So either nothing has yet been done (I’ve heard nothing with regard to my multiple hidden posts) or Jolla must have agreed that all these posts should remain suppressed. Unless there is another explanation?
