Ramblings of a Metro Manila resident. Or how one copes; living in the Philippines with 50 felines and 2 dogs. With occasional forays in mud trails in and around Metro Manila. Salamat sa pagbisita.

Whoa! Censorship on an eGroup…tsk tsk..

August 6, 2007

Its surreal. When you've been on the net as long as one has. Moderating several eGroups and being a member to countless others.  Ive been on forums that began with just a few members and have seen them balloon to almost un-manageable proportions - but never have I seen a mod actually REMOVE or delete another member's post. No matter what the offending party had said. 

I can understand and in most cases, agree to certain rules and policies on a forum. Use of profanity, displaying obscene or graphic (inappropriate) images or just plain flaming another member , would be the common indiscretions that "could" have one's message censored. But to have a post completely removed for being "out of topic"  - sounds like pure CENSORSHIP to me.  Or the mod just went on a power trip. Removing it - just because he could.

Boy, talk about our FREEDOM of speech. In a world of unlimited proliferation of tabloids, newspapers, blogs and the internet - a mod simply removes another's message. Whew…. like they say, "only in the Pili-pines."  Wonder what you folks think about this? Are we in Singapore or Russia?
