Well, censorship can be seen in two ways. If you have private property I agree you should be able to restrict what people do on it. SR can ban CP etc it is morally fine in my opinion they own the server. So I am fine with censorship in such cases. The censorship I am against is when a government tells people what they can or cannot say on their own property. And I think the best solution is volunteer community property that allows anyone to talk and say what they want, but nobody has to listen. Astor why would your forum be healthier? Why do you even want to run a centralized forum? Wouldn't it be better if everybody networks with who they want to, and the only forum is the way the threads are organized by the individual user? You seem to advocate for a hierarchical system where some designated person is in charge of what can be said, I am advocating for a non-hierarchical system where every individual is in charge of what they see. I could outsource this to you and you censor spam, or I could just not select to listen to people who spam.
