Abuse of Power:
I have had many a thread deleted for the ideas. I have even had many threads deleted without even being reviewed by the moderator! I have tried rephrasing my speech and through private conversations have still been denied under the statement that "it would promote flaming."
I have seen many threads with intense contraversy and even vulgarity closed. However I am not even given the chance for an explanation for the closure; my threads/ideas are erased by the whim of one person without memory.
It is as though I as a poster am being erased by the moderator. If everything I say is to be deleted than as I poster I do not in fact exist.
I demand some answers. I realize that is a privilege to post here; if there is a disagreement over my behavior I demand the same procedures enacted toward others. If there is such a disagreement with those in power over my right to exist then I demand a permanant banning. This injury toward me as of current is inexcusable. Punish me, confront me, ban me, but don't delete me!
The last text I published that was deleted (again likely without review) was a discussion over this same kind of behavior but with a philosophical vantage point in mind. The following idea was in fact derived by me as a response to the arrival of CivNation2000 and the potential moderation abuse that could result.
Instead I am abused without acknowledgement.![](http://apolyton.net/forums/mad.gif)

I think censorship of vulgarity and rudeness is fine and should continue. However this censorship of ideas is what truly disturbs me here. I didn't post this in the Apolyton main forum because this is an issue where I wish the population of ACS can state their opinions on. I do not intend this as a policy change demand, nor am I naive enough to expect it to be, therein I do not wish it to be treated as such.
I've done enough (deleted) posts here to know the truth to my allegations.
There are certain topics that discussion is denied here, and these topics are not even explicit. Contraversial they are but there is a necessity in a free society to examine such issues.
I think the moderators worry about the ideas either causing disruption or causing conversion both of which are utterly unjustified as such ideas never escape censorship long enough to set such a precidence.
Censoring people's ideas is not only not helpful to the individual (who will lack at least hearing the alternate argument) but additionally it is harmful to that individual (who might then take pride in their idea) as the individual will determine the censorship is a victory of fear/defeat from the alternative vantage point.
I know this as I used to think that way, it is very dangerous to let deficient ideas to reign unopposed nor to reinforce their legitimacy with selfish actions intending to keep the peace.
Anyone who whines why hate groups can exist in this country should know that ideological censorship is key to their being.
Show people that they are oppressed and they will believe that they are justified in their actions.
