Why was the post moved?

I'm not sure if it was ever explicit or not, but those are generally rules whenever you're in polite company. They're topics where all participants in discussion must either be in agreement, or willing to be civil in their responses... and we fulfill neither condition. ;)

It's not censorship, it's moving the post into the correct forum. It is my job, as operator and founder of this site to ensure that the operation of the site proceeds in the best interest of the majority of the members. We have a long standing rule that anything inflammatory that is likely to result in flame wars (typically your class sex, religion and politics, sometimes at the same time) go in the Soapbox where you can go nuts. The Lounge is for discussions on the IT industry and is a showcase on the software community. It is not a forum for politics. If you don't agree with the way our online community for Software Developers operates you are free to post elsewhere.

"The Lounge is a place where you can discuss anything that takes your fancy. If you just want to laze about and discuss things that don't quite fit elsewhere, then this is the place. Posting Guidelines: The Lounge is rated PG. If you're about to post something you wouldn't want your kid sister to read then don't post it.

Hi Chris, I like your site and have been posting here for about a year. The Lounge is described as "...a place where you can discuss anything that takes your fancy...", and politics isn't even mentioned in the Posting Guidelines. So when my post was suddenly moved, it appeared to be censorship since the post didn't violate any of your stated constraints.

Is this intended as an inflamitory comment? Are you trying to insult me? If so, you've failed miserably. And no, I'm not new to the internet. (Tubes anyone?) I'm asking a legitimate question. So, unless you're the "sitemaster" you need not respond.

Queries strictly intended for webmaster like any site related issues/disparities should have gone into Suggestions/Bug Reports forum. I believe this thread assumes a normal discussion thread, substantiated by the type and number of votes that it has accrued hitherto.

And a good number of people who post on the Lounge are from these low-wage countries. So maybe they don't want to see pro-Nader posts. In fact I bet most of them have never heard of Nader and it doesn't look very likely that that's going to change :-)

I disagree. Moving it to an obscure section IS censorship. Are you the one who did it? Did someone ask you to? If so, who?

That is like.... :omg: :omg: Moving an article from the front page to the political section of a paper!! I demand all papers put all articles on the front page and no other page right now!!! :rolleyes: The soapbox is the 2nd most popular forum here! You should be honored it was not moved to buzzwords or something like that. :-\
