If there have been any lessons learned and changes made to the current censorship 'system' - as a result of these mistakes - perhaps this can be made clear?

The following answer (in a brown editing comment) - was given (and inserted to my post) to the above question.

Unfortunately, we're human, so we may continue to make mistakes on occasion. But if we do make a mistake, we'll do our best to try to correct it. I can't promise anything more than that.
I suppose we're not a democracy, but we do our best to listen to and honor the wishes of our community.

Yet more censorship mistakes – detailed on the following thread. Mistakes stemming from the idea that russhing to honour the wishes of (part) of the community means our volunteers imposing censorship on the contributions of (another part) of the community. In this case - the closing of one thread (on matters of personal taste) – leading to the creation and subsequent imposed closure of 3 threads!!!!

The whole censorship action resulted in bringing far more attention to the issue than if the contributions of fellow posters were left as they intended.

Complaints vs mudslinging

The less imposed censorship there is - undertaken as a matter now of routine - the less chance there is of making a mistake.
