How USMB looks without censorship

[EvMetro]

Here? Nooo, I disagree. You sure you aren't thinking you're somewhere else? I just got banned at a place because they read my PMS with a friend I knew from a different place, and the only way I got banned there is because they did that, and I told him it could happen; And it did. I know he didn't snitch me out, they read the PM and that was it.
At that place it's either tow the commie party line or be silenced, and USMB is not that place.
At all. You can't even call somebody a "fuckface" there without an infraction. What kinda crap is that?

This thread is not meant as a debate about if this site is doing massive censorship or not, since it absolutely is. The thread is about speculating what the community would look like without it.

It is very shallow to assume that censorship is not happening just because you aren't seeing it. Censorship is not meant to be seen, since it is meant as a way to cheat. Censorship is already deceptively difficult to identify because the evidence disappears, but it is WAY more difficult to see if if your mission is to promote the notion that it isn't happening. The intent of the censorship is that you DON'T know that it is happening, which means your perception of this community has been engineered. You've been tricked.

WTF?
RWNJ's, want to force private companies to publish their BS, under the guise of "censorship"?
So, much for "free" markets.

What does this have to do with how you think this community would look without the massive censorship campaign? (Thread topic)

We gotta have some over watch. If not you'd have some asshole like me running around telling people to eat a dick all the time!!

 

[miketx]

And I have never been.

So, you have to ask yourself, is it the system, or is it you?

What are you posting that is getting censored?

Dude you're a cop! The cop mods ain't gonna censor one of their own!!!

I would imagine lefties would see a censorship free USMB as an apocalypse situation, considering how much lefties rely upon censorship. In reality, posts just fade away into history if they are left alone.

For all those who are curious how this community would look without all the deleted posts, threads relocated into oblivion, thread closures, the massive censorship campaign, and the safe zones, you just need to understand what the worst thing about censorship is:

There you have it! That is how this community would look!

Let me get this straight. You think this community would look like a censored sentence if it didn’t have all the censorship it already has?

How much thought did you put into this one?!

 

[miketx]

I'll bite, how are you "censored?"

Well for one thing if he says anything bad about my mother it'll be removed. So there!

Then why do sites like 4chan turn into cesspools?

No thoughts, he’s a straight troll.

Every day. This thread is not meant as a debate about if this site is doing massive censorship or not, since it absolutely is. The thread is about speculating what the community would look like without it.

If you really want me to elaborate, I have plenty of screenshots and backed up content. Lots of "specific" mod actions that I hold back because the site rules specify to not discuss "specific" mod actions. That's why I stick to discussing "general" mod actions such as a massive censorship.

Remind me first of what you think THIS site would look like without the massive censorship campaign.

Without the “censorship” as you carelessly call “moderation”… this site would look more like the chans…. Full of porn, violence, and festering trolls playing out their shock and awe fantasies.

Because of disgusting people like you.

My very first foray into an online political debate forum was in '96. It was a newly put up forum by our local TV affiliate WFAA. There were no rules and no mods.

After a couple of months it looked just like you would imagine if every shithead was allowed to post the most vile things that they could come up with. Evil people have nothing on anonymous evil people.

They were freaking out, made up a rule sheet, and assigned some mods, but it was too little, too late.
After a week, they shut it down, never to be reopened again.

WTF?
USMB doesn't HAVE to publish what I post, or whatever anyone else posts.
Should "truth" social be required to post the rebuttal to Trump's claims?

I don't think so, it's a company-owned site, they HAVE that right.
"Free speech" only applies in the public sector, not in the private sector.

Remind me, why are you still here?

Actual reports show four this year.

I can quantify FAR more than that.
