Can you please provide an example of something that's been censored?

I actually thought that less and less stuff has been censored under the new regime...

Hell, I even brought up a taboo Chad Reed topic a few weeks back that years ago woulda got you a time out, this time the posts were allowed to stay.

I don't think they are doing any moderating and that's the problem, you get clowns like Jsloan making it into a big joke.

Kinda seems like you’re bitching about something that doesn’t really exist on here.

I agree with the OPs sentiments, but also agree with you - ML and the current mods are better / less trigger-happy. I liked ML when he was just a moderator/bike tester, but have learned to respect him more as he runs the ship. But to the OPs point, everyone on here he has one opinion, there is nothing else, and everyone else is an idiot (if that makes sense LOL). It has come from reading Vital for info and bike/race discussion, to sifting through 100s of shitty opinions, and jabs at anybody who disagrees, with some full-dumbass social media Instagram-esque posts written seemingly by children thrown in every other post. Some humor is fun, the quantity of posts is no doubt good for business, but as a frequent user, you can see the quality of content going down. (how's that for a run-on sentence?) Smile

Op, I don't see much of this 'woke' crap, besides folks calling it out falsely as a lazy defence against someone disagreeing with them. I only go in the moto related, tech and bike builds sections though, so maybe I'm missing it?

As for moderators, the amount of arguing and bullshit around here is down to the individuals and yes it's annoying sometimes, as am I and most other people at times, but it does make a good case for how ML and Co are not overreacting and censoring everything, they're doing a good job of allowing people to voice almost whatever and talk it out, but they have to draw a line somewhere don't they.

Violating a private company’s terms of service, getting a post deleted because of said violation, then calling that censorship. I call that soft.

I could always use another moto related monthly subscription. Let’s pay to play!

Out of any forum I've visited in my life, this one is probably the least censored I've seen. What do you want, more mother jokes and covid topics? I personally couldn't care less about any kind of nationalism and politics when I visit a motocross forum. I'm very glad people can't say anything they want when it's stuff like that.

I’m extremely light on moderation. Not sure what you’re talking about.

Well in his defense, his grammar and mindset is kind of 3rd world.

Exactly, but maybe just a little more with the clowns would be better. How about a limit on how many posts you can start in a day or week so we don't have to sift through 20 stupid trolling posts that some people feel the need to start on a daily basis.

Ah ok, I didn't realize this guy was just a pissed off racist...

Dude needs to be careful, his Honda is foreign, should have just bought a Harley.

Maybe not happy with the man cave thread you moved to the Dumbgeon? His flag on the wall is a no go zone for moto-related.

Nope Sloan may be kind of annoying sometimes, I honestly think most the vitards are making a much bigger deal out of him then he is but I'm good on not having Guy Lib back in control. Place is the best it's been in awhile.

I've had my ass kicked outta here a few times. By both Gibby and ML. Brought that shit on myself. It's the web...shit happens...so what?

So, forgive me if I don't "relate" to the Op's point; furthermore, his post is...in-fact...the very type of whiney B.S. he's bitching about. Isn't it?

Yup. Like I said initially,"It's the web".

Get over it.

You guys dumbgeon his post which was the start of a good post. Show us ur man cave because of a FJB flag in the background... Yeah I'm gonna agree with XR70 now, that's pretty petty. Maybe move it to non moto if your basis is its not moto related. But to dump it like that yeah kinda dumb.
But if that's the worst thing that happens around here now. It's still a net plus to me.

I think it was more the personal message on the bottom of the flag and how it seemed like he was baiting for a discussion on it.

It stayed up and it was moved. It was posted in moto-related, so it could have easily been deleted. In fact I thought it was.

I don't don't make the rules and I couldn't care less about anyone's political leanings. Makes no difference in my life.

Actually he wanted people to post pictures of their man's cave. For those of you that have a man that has a cave, I'm sure you're very proud. But that doesn't seem relevant to the subject matter of this forum.

Politics in moto-related is a no go. It was going to head there with that. I have a couple policies I uphold, not many, but I try to stick to them.

Effed if we do and effed if we don’t. (Moderation-wise)

Trying to find that sweet middle spot.
