Freedom of speech does not also mean that an alt account reach out to the clients in PMs and do possibly everything to discourage them to work with you, tell them that working with you is a bad choice and all these manipulated stuffs to scare them.
I have no problem as I said having an alt account but when joining contests, spreading manipulated lies just because you do not like someone with an alt account is abusing the opportunity of the freedom of speech. It's personal hate and cheating.
Freedom of speech always has some limits, usually in the rights and freedoms of the other, but here we were not talking about this specific case, but about freedom of speech in general of the forum.
Yes. I do have proof: the fact that the operation of the forum is a de facto dictatorship.
So what you mean is that the owner of the forum should run it in a democratic way or something? As I see it, if a court summons arrives for something related to the forum it will reach him, so it is normal that he makes decisions as the owner of this company. And for example the trust system, although far from perfect, is so decentralized that it has allowed him to have a red tag in his profile.
Although I guess this is going off topic and would deserve another thread to be debated.
