Censorship

It’s odd how the most interesting or unusual posts are often censored on this forum - I hope it’s not turning into another tealit. Why should the the conservative moderators be able to get rid of what people write? It’s not harming anyone, so it doesn’t make sense.

Like what? when and where?

Porn doesn’t necessarily harm anyone, but we don’t allow it here. Same thing goes for posts written in Urdu.

Read the rules and you’ll have a better idea of what’s going to stay on the boards and what’s not… :wink:

No, they don’t fit any of those things often, but they get floundered. I mean things which were imaginative or went against the status quo. I think some of the moderators abuse their responsibility. Not everyone is as conservative as some of you who have been in Taiwan for a long time are. Remember freedom of speech? It’s considered a right in the rest of the world.

What about my critique of Jeff Locker

Europa, if you want us to discuss something, you need to tell us what you are referring to. Which post censorship prompted you to start this thread? I’d like to help but I’ve no idea what you are talking about.
Also, are you sure it was censored? We don’t censor anything but flames. Perhaps your post was moved to a more suitable forum?

Edit: Are you referring to your fortune teller post? If so, I’m at a loss as to why it was floundered. I can’t see any reason for it. PM the moderator and ask.

It should have been in Living in Taiwan I suppose. Is that where you posted it?

I posted about subletting my apartment during CNY. It has completely disappeared. Sure, I may have posted it in the wrong forum, but to delete it completely? What’s up with that?

Presumably The Gumper’s post about subletting was exceptionally interesting or unusual? I checked his posts back to 31 Dec and there was no sign of it. Must’ve been Wolf.

Yes, I was talking about the fortune teller post. Why did it get floundered? Also, another post about a school - completely obliterated. Not fair.

[quote=“Chewycorns”]Right, but the cockhole comment was not made by me and it is still in the Arts and Entertainment thread? forumosa.com/taiwan/viewtopi … ker#290123

So my comments and pictures are deleted and others stay? See the inconsistency in this?[/quote]
No inconsistency - I missed it. Thanks for the heads up - I’ve taken care of it now.

Don’t let them censor you! Fight the man!! Viva La Resistance!!!

Yeah, that was me.

Warning, don’t go to Hong Kong

Then open the message, and it’s about a fortune teller?

Seemed flaky. Better in the Flounder Forum than Open Forum.

You weren’t serious that people should avoid HK were you?

Obviously not considering what I’ve written since - even if I had been, would that turn people into obedient zhombies?
