Oh, I sincerely hope not!

Any reason for that sincere hope?

How can any poster express an informed opinion on the current level of imposed censorship (especially a favourable one or think it proportionate) if is not recorded when and where it occurs and there is consequently no way they can know what this level is?

If there is nothing to hide in these censorship actions - where then is the harm in recording where and why they have taken place?

And if those who currently feel themselve qualified to impose such judgements do not want to be open in their dealings - perhaps such imposition should stop?

As this recent step-up in unrecorded deletions is said to be in response to the wishes of Mudcatters - perhaps the wishes of all Mudcatters can first be sought in poll - to ascertain if this is in fact the wishes of Mudcatters?
