Really enjoying the stealth censorship here.

Posted on 04/23/2019 12:01:31 AM PDT by Secret Agent Man

This place is getting more like facebook and twitter, stealthly deleting posts for not stated reasons.

Sometimes whole topics.

You don't know they're gone until you browse your comments and find they don't exist anymore.

Way to go censors. 20+ year guy here and i will say this is a new level of low.

Read it while you can, i am sure whoever's deleting comments tonight will not want to have this out there.

The answer to offensive speech is...more speech!

The answer is always the free market. You can: 1 not donate to FR or 2 go to ZeroHedge.com the Wild West of libertarian speech.

In other words, FREE enterprise is free. So is FREE Republic.
It costs you NOTHING to participate in FaceBook, YouTube, Google, Twitter, Google, and Free Republic.
You get what you PAY for. That’s quality of capitalism (market competition, price, demand, etc.)
The OWNER gets to decide who posts, what is allowed, who is booted, who stays, what positions are published, and what is not allowed. It is the OWNER’s business, not ours.
Participate in all of these with that understanding.

It’s called “Free Republic” - not “Fair Republic”. It is aptly named.

I’ve been a part of Free Republic since it’s very beginning. Now, I follow the rules laid down by the owner.

Sometimes there are words or phrases that trigger trolls.

Example: one can use the word Mojado but you do not dare write Wetback. Wetback Triggers troll and gets their panties in a wad.

This post will be deleted about noon CST when the trolls crawl out of bed.

FYI, Mojado is Meskin for Wet.

Got up early this morning and watched your video links.

I know you have posted these several times for a reason. Oftentimes there is information overload and we scroll past some mighty important details, as I did each previous time I ran across your links.

Thanks for posting these again and again. I’ll be sending them along in that cyber sphere to play my own little part in that 4D chess game.

Interesting times we are living in with new and exciting weapons everyone with internet access can use.

No post lives forever.

This ad should be deleted.

“Such posts cheapen the forum. They make the rest of us look like a bunch of junior high schoolers.”

I think you’re right. I remember 15-20 years ago when there was a higher and more professional level of posts and posters. Sad, but things change.

I’ve had a lot of posts pulled, usually within minutes of using the report abuse function.

Snitch.

Post a news story about a pit bull attack.

Who attacks pit bulls?
Sounds like fake news to me.

Very good comment, Watchman. The profanity and crudeness cheapens FR.

I doubt it will be easy, but try to read this suggestion as objectively as is possible; If you don’t like how this site is run, get your own site

Some of ‘em like to point and laugh, though.

So there’s that.

Gosh - Google and company never delete anything even when one wishes they would and now FR doesn’t do free storage for personal posterity....if you say something that sounds clever enough that it needs to be preserved, preserve it on your own media....unless FR has a contract promising to do the free storage for you...of course, then they should also receive a contract from you guaranteeing a minimum donation agreement.

It’s not always ‘censorship’, sometimes it’s just a flame war that starts and the mods quash it.........................

I posted an article about some celebrity in the #metoo frenzy and it got pulled with no explanation. The next day, someone else posted the same article from the same source, and it went on to have hundreds of comments.

Moderation is capricious.
