      Could you link me some examples of this? I haven't been moderating these past couple days, as I've been very busy. These are heavy accusations, as I greatly value the right to discussion so if you can link me to some examples I would be more than happy to restore them and have a stern talking to with my moderators.

        Assuming you're asking this in good faith, then here's my response. When I look at this thread, with over 200 comments, I see about 30-50 comments, mostly by Hexbear users, that just say "removed by mod". If every single one of those removed posts contain a racial slur or other banned language, then that's legit. They should be removed. But it's hard to believe all of those dozens of comments all break the rules. It seems much more likely that this is a Reddit-like thread where mass censorship is being applied with a mod-machine-gun. And to reply to your request more specifically, I don't actually know why specific posts were removed, because I can't see them, because they have been removed. Only the mods/admins can see them, and see their reasons for removal. So I'm sorry I can't give you more specific examples. But thank you for taking the matter seriously.
