Censorship And Deleting Of Threads

[muchspl2]

I had a thread earlier today that quoted a tv show
it was lock cause someone complained it could be taken as raciest, well it came from a person of color, and it was a parody of racism
but it was locked as it was against forum rules but just recently it was completely deleted
I think this was a unfair move and a complete abuse of power whoever deleted it all together
its one thing to lock it, but deleting it sucks cause it seem one sided
why completely delete it let people make up there on minds

You could have said "view this topic if you do not mind apparently satirical racism". However, you just dropped it down in the middle of the topic, not letting people use their own discretion

I have once been racially abused. The stupid Ford ate my grappling hook.

Im definately not racist but 95% of the time you have someone complain, well, it's gonna be a person of different color. That's all I will make a comment on.

Peace

As you are just human like we all, am I? posts should not be deleted.

I understand why it has been deleted, but each thought counts.

but it was completely deleted
let people make up there own minds, not just your right and I was wrong
if nothing else let it be what not to post apparently it was destine for a flame war
according to POL
but no one in the thread complained, but of coarse you can't see it cause it was deleted

Remember, this board isn't a democracy.


Anyway, if it was going to be hurtful to somebody in someway, it doesn't really deserve to be here.

was it the one about Bill Gates being knocked down the top 100 earners?

[muchspl2]

yes
but its my contention it wasn't hurtful to anyone, but apparently it was, but it shouldn't have been deleted
wtf
