Censorship should be as limited as possible, and "vulgar" language should be deleted. George Carlin's list of the 7 forbidden words for TV would be the ones to censor.

Unfortunately, the original moderator had no one censoring her heavy-handed antics and propensity for ramming her opinions down everyone's throat.

Censorship can be a tricky assignment-- It depends on one's standard morals of acceptability.  I agree that the standard idiotic questions regarding sex and the usage of the F word as many other non-sex related slurs and attacks should be censored-- Just where do you draw that line??

A young girl posts-- 'What is F**K? and spells it out.. You could take this as immature, idiot or could it be a curious child asking about when she heard on the street? afraid to say it to her parents?? Should this be censored??

Then again, we are not a Child day Care Center but there's not an age check at the door either. I think common sense censorship..  I think that member bashing is another one, anytime a member bashes another member it should be controlled. I see that a lot here..

Yes and I do appreciate the screening that is in place on this site. There is in my view a lot of hostility and negativity on the net and I like that the site is getting us away from that element. Plus a younger audience can use akaQa safely because of the monitors here.

How can we ever expect to engage in any meaningful debate without someone getting offended or insulted? It is such a low, subjective threshold that unless a short list of very specific,measurable guidelines are spelled out, ANY controversial comment can be interpreted as being offensive.

Just WHO exactly is/are administrating the site?

I am in total support of free speach here.I am not in favor of an adult using abusive language in a school yard(I E).Some users of this site do not have the courtesy or dignity to police themselves.I am in complete support of the Bill of Rights.But there are times and places whare there must be a threshold,and when this threshold is crossed how else can it be dealt with.This is my opinion.I wish I had a solution.

Are you saying questions you asked were removed?  I can tell you, I have never removed any of your questions.

Questions that get removed are questions that do not fit the profile of akaQA. Members that get suspended bring it on themselves by not conforming to the few guidelines of this forum. Once a member is suspended permanently, then all questions and answers they ever posted are removed along with their account.

Freedom of speech is allowed within reason. The administrators of akaQA have had to draw a line due to some of the questions and comments posted here. There is no censorship. Just the protection of all members to not have to put up with certain questions or comments made here.

This is a private site. The owner(s) count(s) on advertising revenues and they try to attract advertisers who would be offended by racism, pornography, etc.  Censorship accordingly, should not be banned here.

I agree with censorship, there has to be some kind of guide lines.
