Default Censoring posts.

I guess if you post a critical comment or negative review of a HDForums Sponsor/Advertiser your post gets the boot. So much for free speach....

There are rules. I've seen people post things I thought would get them banned and it didn't. Terry1955 is the administrator and let's people bend the rules, generally speaking but he won't put up with absolute nonsense either. Posting threads like this one won't really get you anywhere. If you have a problem, send one of the moderators a pm or if you feel like arguing, go over to the political section and disagree with one of the regular posters in that section. They'll be on you like stink on ****.

Forums are like clubs and there are rules and terms that you agree to when you signed up. Free speech isn't a right here it's a privilege given for conducting yourself within those terms.

Take the advice of 1931jamesw and send a private message to the moderator to work out your issue.

Sponsors pay the bills or the greater majority of them. I'm certain that fair or constructive critizcism wouldn't be censored but just plain ranting and bashing most likely and evidently will be. There's always facebook.

I've seen plenty of criticism of sponsors that was allowed to go on. You must have been unreasonable. There's no free speech on a forum. Get real!

Moderators are the unquestioned authority on here. Just the way it is.

Cross the line and you are History...even if you are a paid up "club member"....go too far, and goodbye.
