Forum censorship

It's one thing to regulate inappropriate topics on the forum. It's another to censor the respectful voices of paid forum members. I started a thread today asking members who've had positive experiences with a former site sponsor and it was unceremoniouly deleted. There was no ill intention or accusatory tone to the thread. Thumbs down for censorship.

+1 on the censorship.
It seems any Neg comment you give on any dealer/Retailer/Sponsor they go crying to someone and without question threads get deleted.
I thought this was a community in where everyone got together and watched over each others back.
It seems lately its the opposite.

Was Chad banned? I thought he just let his sponsorship laps?

I have been spanked for an avitar (not near as bad as some out there now), but that's all.

No, it's not. It's a dictatorship. It's owned by a person privately and he has the right to run it as he sees fit. It's that simple. I do think that paid members should be shown a little respect of their opinions. As paying members, they keep this on the web.

+1, and there's another G35 website if you don't like it. Me, I'm happy right here. Capitalism works.
