I have been really busy lately selling my home in the city so I can relocate to the country and missed the whirlwind of the arrival of censorship to to the forum.
I caught up a bit late last night and posted a comment in a thread by Sulusea.
That thread is gone today.
If Matrix wants to allow Sltherine to push it into committing professional suicide by alienating its customers there is little we, as the customers, can do but sit by and watch.
Little, that is, except assist them along the path by no longer consuming their products.
Someone asked in one of the threads, 'who is this guy Edom'.
Edom is Satan.
I have placed a copy of the forum rules below, and highlighted the important parts. Now, I realise you are frustrated because you disagree with the rules/policies set out by Slitherine and that I have to enforce.
I would be well within my rights as a moderator to warn, if not give you a week timeout, for this attack on my person. I am just going to lock this and ask that you take some time to really think if defending the ability to post thinly veiled porn on this forum is the hill you want to die on.
