Im for the OWS movement but whats up with the censorship on this site. Why do comments have to pend approval?
You're noticing the fact that some users are on moderation. Some of them are on moderation because they engage in persistent trolling or other violations of forum policy (see "Registration Policy" link near bottom of this page). Others are on moderation simply because, as of very recently, all new registrations are automatically on moderation until taken off.
Since this discussion is off-topic for this thread, if you wish to continue it, please either create a topic for it in the General Discussion forum, or let me know and I will.
Thanks for your contributions to the forums.
O ok thanks for the clear up John :) i would start a thread for that topic though, it seems like there have been alot of questions by other people about censorship on this site.

OK, moved the topic to its own thread.
So far, except for Mosheh The zion, who was the victim of an inadvertent deletion (account deletion isn't even a tool I use) and was justified in complaining, the only people crying "censorship" are people who have repeatedly trolled the forums. Examples of trolling may be found in the Trash Bin.
A valid question for members to discuss is, do the moderators censor, and are the moderators' actions appropriate? But as mentioned in another post, because of my job, I'm cutting way back on my moderating as of today. So I may not be active in this discussion. I hope you understand. The important thing is for members to share their views, if they want to.
I'll even make a promise, that for at least the next week, if I see a post pending approval in this thread, I'll approve it. (Note that sometimes I'm offline for long periods, so I may not see the post right away.) I think the only way I wouldn't see it is if another mod either approves or deletes it first, but that's unlikely. Of course, if someone posts a porn video, for example, I'll probably delete the actual video and replace it with something like "[porn video deleted]," but I'll still approve the actual post if I see it.
Thanks for your concern.

Here is some food for thought. Nobody likes trolls…people showing up uninvited and spewing a bunch of nonsense just to get a reaction. However, the same can be said for OWS. Nobody invited these mobs of people laying claim to a space that belongs to everyone. Nobody enjoys having to see them "protesting" outside your place of business. Yet they feel entitled to do these things claiming to have some high moral ground that trumps common sense. When you think about it OWS is just a bunch of trolls taking up space and spewing nonsense that the people who work in these cities are forced to endure.
Hurry up…hit the delete button.

I did see an official statement of gratitude, toward the HPD, on this site regarding that incident. It is definitely important to show our thanks to our men and women in blue, especially on Thanksgiving.

Other users get away with pasting in multiple threads and harassing people…JYBL is comparatively harmless to this organization.

In this country, our citizens don't really comprehend censorship and tend to over dramatize the use of the word. They are not jailed for speaking their thoughts, otherwise we would have far more people in jail right now.
If a group of people or one person comes in to destroy this organization, or impeded its progress, should they be allowed to do so if they are obviously not sincere about the well being of the movement?
Or if their intent is to drive others away?
