In a thread about excessive moderation we see that there are numerous gaps where the moderators have chosen to remove comments from the discussion. It is as though the mods are wishing to prove the posters' complaints are correct. Free speech is fine so long as the mods agree with it.

Yeah I’ve responded to Malmo sincerely, just happened to be difference of opinion, and minutes later my post was deleted
5:09 avg pace at 20k championship on a course with some elevation gain (250-275ft). That would put her a couple seconds ahead of the current half AR if she went for another .6. Mantz's victory more impressive bc of the compet...
I have to say that i miss the Seth thread. Moderate the attacks on his family fine but criticism on content he puts out. Where's the problem with that???
Recently Molly Seidel posted about 69 on instagram. She's a public figure posting on instagram. Fair game for discussion. The discussion started going a bit sideways and was becoming a pain to moderate so a mod deleted it. I restored the thread and locked it.
....
Any other threads you have complaints about?
What about all the past threads that got deleted about Molly Seidel racing in different races while taking Adderall without a WADA TUE?
Well, Wejo, if you are not going to respond about why threads about Molly Seidel's sexual remarks are allowed but threads about her PED use in recent races without a TUE are grounds for insta-delete, then how how just meeting us half way and restoring the old hotties photo thread?
Agreed. The conservatives get more of their posts deleted yet we liberals don't. We complain or cry racism to get it restored. Wait, what????
You are confused. This is a predominantly right wing site. But the Right are rarely aware of their inbuilt bias - they think they are the arbiters of fact and truth - hence the moderators think they are being fair and impartial.
You are confused and not too quick on the uptake. You, on the Left are rarely aware of your inbuilt bias and think what you post is gospel...here's a helpful hint, it's not;).
I just want to clown on my boy SJD and his ridiculous antics while slacking off from work. That thread was a gold mine and 95% of the comments were entirely appropriate.
He's a "public figure" insofar as he chooses to publish a video every single day of his own free will. Surely that opens him up to criticism and even mockery within reason.
Maybe a bunch of people started to complain like JoBros are claiming. Or more likely Seth himself complained, especially since not only was that thread deleted but virtually any other mention of the man on this site was too. But regardless, so what? No one is forcing all of those DGR simps to read that thread everyday like A Clockwork Orange style and get their feelings hurt.
A shame that the founders of this site would acquiesce to the demands of the little eggman and his fervent worshippers.
Normallly, we don't like threads complaining about moderation but I've restored this thread as I think it's an interesting one. We've spent a lot of time trying to make moderation quicker and better, but some thing it's gone too far. I have the ability to read deleted posts and have to admit I often am laughing at some of the posts that mods have deleted as I found them to be quite clever / funny but they found them to be not worthy of the site.
I’ve been here for 16+ years. The deleting of threads is becoming over the top.

Looks like you're getting cucked by your employees (I assume these mods don't mod for free). You really need to crack down and let us sh!tposters have fun again!

The gaps in the thread grow as the censors redouble their enthusiasm for culling posts. It appears there are even more post deletions on this thread than posts. Your mods are effectively proving the point made by posters about heavyhanded moderation. They have become petty and obsessive and clearly affected by their own partialities. Their egos have intruded into the task. So the site is no longer the free forum it once was; moderation has effectively become control and in the hands of a few.
