"Yes, in public, you can say whatever you want. However, the last I looked, this is a private site, owned at operated by individuals. Therefore, they set the rules about what can and can not be said here. They have every right to censor the posts for whatever reasons they see fit. If they want to change the TOS to say that badmouthing CL or Poser is a bann-able offense, then can." I disagree. R'osity is a public site that anyone with an internet connection can come to. So, verses saying "this is their house, play by their rules", this is more akin to a coffee shop or a town hall in which any member is free to speak his/her mind; pro, con, or indifferent. If R'osity was a pay site or members only, then it could be considered private. However, even then their right to restrict speech could be questioned. Ceratinly, even if the members disagreed and the restrictions were enforced anyway, I doubt R'osity would survive very long. The rules need to be clarified and enforced consistently across the board. Regardless of what the issues are behind the seemingly public display of inconsistent enforcement of the rules, only R'osity can address those issues.
