Ok.... lets try to clarify things a little bit better one more time. I can't speak for the whole of Renderosity. If you say Renderosity is censoring its members, you must probably have proof of that. You have to understand that Renderosity is privately owned. It is not a public open forum and is not bound to allow all subjects to be discussed. We are trying hard to keep this as a welcoming place - therefore, discussions that degenerate into bitter fights and insults have to be controled and taken offline. You would expect the same from a bar or a movie theatre (are bars practicing censorship when they prevent people from exercising their right to fight ?). We are also trying to keep discussions around the main topics of the site - this applies for each forum. The main purpose here is to keep it useful. If you are looking for a solution to a problem with Vue, the last thing you want to do is to browse through pages and pages of topics that have nothing to do with Vue. This is why discussions have to be moved to other forums or deleted completely. Now - to speak about this forum in particular. If you want to talk about controversial subjects related to Vue, I will let you talk as long as you provide arguments for the point you are trying to make. If you want to say that Vue wiped out your hard drive, fine, come up with a detailed explanation of what happened and we can talk about it. Coming here and accuse e-on software of wiping out your harddrive on purpose would be considered an attack and will be deleted. I hope you can see the difference between these two examples. As for wabe, his point was to relativise the meaning of 'censorship'. Same word - different meaning for different people. In this context, it may seem extreme to talk about censorhip when it is really about keeping the site useful and friendly. If you want to talk about politics, religion or just fight with other people for fun, there are other places on the net to do that.
