Well, usually if there's censoring done, I do it - and I do it very rarely. Max is usually too busy and doesn't step in unless it's a real crisis, and the JoeClones aren't allowed to. Somebody complained in the Thread Name Gestapo thread about a thread renaming. I must have been the one who did it, and I can't for the life of me think what it was I changed (I did delete some HTML from a thread title yesterday - could that be it?). In limited circumstances, I will delete messages that personally attack or threaten another person. If there have been responses to the questionable message, I'm less likely to be willing to delete it.

The Official Policy is that you are all big kids, and you should be able to take care of yourselves. In the FAQ, it is stated that we encourage you not to post in flame threads and not to respond to flame messages in any way. If you ignore that advice, don't come running to Max or me for protection. If you post in the MAV or Pol Pot threads, I figure you've made yourself fair game for the flamers in those threads. You will note that I post in flame threads only on very rare occasions. If I do, I usually will post in a different font color as an addition to an existing message, so I don't bring the thread to the top again. I always sign my comments, so you know who's talking.

But no, we don't intend to police this Forum, except in very rare circumstances. You people are supposed to do that.

If you have a complaint about something being "censored," ask me, and I'll tell you why I did it. If you can convince me I was unfair, I'll change it back.
