1) I like the idea that cursing, harassing, and vile flaming is kept to a minimal, if not eliminated. No place for thoughtful discussion.
However,
2) I am not at all happy at the content deletion, particularly when critical of F.R. For example, I recently noticed that the Just A Lot Of Talk website, which provided links to conservative talk shows, shut down its site, with a letter saying the operator was a former FReeper who had been banned for some unknown reason. When I posted it for discussion (and I'm sure I wasn't the only one), it was immediately yanked. IMHO, absolutely no place for that. We're not stupid, stinking liberals from D.U. (or even Lucianne) who can't take criticism. Or at least, we shouldn't be.
Just my two cents.
if its gonna be "FREErepublic" then its' gotta be FREE (but not anarchy).
