I actually don’t see any need why the forum should start censoring post just because they included a curse word in it, if you don’t like the way an user responded to your post the best thing you can do is to ignore them and forget something ever happened rather than to start engaging in a heated argument with both of you insulting yourself, after all you don’t know them and they don’t know you, so don’t let anyone’s words get to your head.

Don’t forget that this is a forum and everyone should be able to give his or her own opinion without being censored. And once the content of user get removed because of their choice of words then that would defeat the whole idea of “freedom of speech”.

No one actually has freedom of speech because at some point you have to follow the rules of the platform that you are using to convey your message. For example, if you make some advertising, a CTA message, or a post in a Bitcoin discussion, that topic will be moved to service discussions, which means you have no control. Another example is if you make a post with some faulty or wrong information and try to lead people the wrong way, you will be tagged as neutral or maybe removed if you are found guilty of plagiarism. We all know that by following the simple rules, we can live forever here until we die, but if we don't follow the rules, we can't survive here.

[...]

I think you're mistakenly took the meaning of freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech does not mean you're also entitled to freedom of consequences and neglecting the concept of a system. And the things you mentioned above are consequences of one's action. If they post something that's out of context, they're still allowed to, they're free to do it, but their post will get moved. Likewise, if they post something faulty, your credibility will be questioned, if you post a plagiarized content or other things that's against the rules of the forum, you'll be questioned and if found guilty, tagged. Again, consequences.

A freedom of speech neglecting a system or a rule [where a post should be posted, or what [oot] comment on what board, or what kind of post are not allowed] is an anarchy.

According to loyceV "If you can be offended by someone online, it means you're doing something wrong" .

I'm afraid I have to disagree!
People might have a different point of view or argument on a matter. You will find another group of people who do not respect your opinion and then start insulting you. The problem is, when you get bullied because of your opinion, you want to say something back, and it ends with exchanging some hit words, and then sometimes it goes to the extreme level when one person calls another a pedophile. For this reason, I believe you can get offended without even doing anything wrong.

You're missing the point: if you choose to give someone the power to hurt you through your screen, you're doing something wrong. If someone calls me a pedophile, he's an idiot. It's that simple.

Now, it's a debatable thing. I choose to give power to someone I like and am close to—for example, my friends and family. It's the internet; we barely make good friends on the internet, especially on anonymous forums. Even if someone looks like he is my friend, I don't know what he has in his mind. Let's say I know some forum members' usernames only, and I exchanged some DM and slowly built a good relationship even though we don't even know our real names. I don't think any of them are going to hurt me. Even if they do, that will be a scam.

I agree with the bold part. It's easy to get hurt on the internet forum where we don't know each other. If people choose to be jerks because no one knows their real name, they are an idiot. I feel like I was not able to explain well because of the language barrier.
