1. Free speech
5. No NSFW content

Please read 5, then read 1, then read 5, then read 1 and tell me if you see a problem.

Can I say "fat cock" if I present it in a calm and polite manner?

Think of it like this, you have freedom of speech in the presence of your mother, but would you choose your words more carefully?

Not all moms were created equal. In this era there is a growing number of parents whom strongly in free-thinking and such. Some cultures it's shameful to show one's hair or face, etc...

Sorry, I live with an anthropological scholar whom, among other things has formally studied some of the finer points of taboo and sexuality (across national boarders even)

"no porn / nothing NSFW" is a fine restriction to free speech. Can be likened to restrictions on hate speech, etc.

A step in a wrong direction. Now moderators will decide which posts have "low value", which posts are "uninteresting" or "pointless". In practice moderators will delete everything they don't like. The words "free speech" above are thus an obvious lie.

That, however, is a fear I share. Subjective things which are not perceived universally by all individuals.

Final edit /// So uh... I've caught up on this whole thread now:

where does current policy stand anyway?

Main thing I ever see enforced is a loose concept of "scammer" with tags being applied to various users for various reasons which don't seem to be well documented in a conspicuous way / nowhere I've seen in forums explains the exact definition of scammer (comprehensively or otherwise)

I'm glad you don't see moderation. I hate it when moderation is intrusive on forums.

Thanks.

What about the other points?

Is there a thing anywhere (navigation link, sticky or otherwise) which explains the moderation and/or scammer guidelines?
