Censorship on the forum.
Recently I have experienced two instances of having posts I have written removed with no notice or explanation to me.
I think doing this is an arbitrary and disrespectful action and I would like to open this subject for discussion (unless this too will be deleted by the powers that be).
I have recently had two posts of mine eliminated. One was removed because it was off the track of a string in the critique section. I had replied to a post of the moderator's, which had nothing to do with a critique. I guess he didn't like my response so it got deleted (along with him as well). Most recently I had a response I had given in defense of accusations leveled at me by another forum member. His accusatory post was not removed (at least not completely).
I have two recommendations to make concerning this practice. If someone goes off the track why must the body of the post be removed? Why can't it be placed in the appropriate locale instead of the content being voided? In terms of objectionable content, why can't the writer be allowed to remove that which the editor feels is objectional and reapply for posting?
Have others had this happen to themselves? I feel violated in having my words summarily voided. Any thoughts?
