"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. I agree "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. " I disagree Although the rules should be clear and have a level playing field. I Think these sites have every right to enforce their rules. Just because it's a free site doesn't mean anyone should be able to just troll away and then yell censorship when it is addressed.(not that anyone is doing that in this thread,it's just an example) The TOS is in place when everyone signed up and agreed.to it You cant agree to the rules,then come in and expect to break them,and yell censorship. So it doesn't matter what the rule is.you agreed to it when you signed up. The coffee shop analogy: Sure if patrons were discussing amoungst themselves(lets call this and IM) they could say what they want. But if someone was standing on the tables,shouting and yelling(trolling public threads) you can bet the managment would adress it in the interest of making it an acceptable place for the rest of the patrons. Again...not saying anyone here is doing that,it's just an example of why the rules are in place. 8 ) I have no comment on the moving of threads or favoritism,I'm just addressing the censorship issue .
