About 50% of my post make this board. Like them or not there is too much censorship on this board and it disgusts me. Freedom of Speech is gone from this place.

One thing that might make it a bit easier would be a feedback mechanism when a moderator rejects a comment.
Sure, you're always going to have the trolls and other chronic bad actors that should have their posts rejected out of hand and their comments terminated.
But I'd like to think the majority of users who may have unwittingly stepped over the line or are just having one bad day and getting into someone's kitchen would honestly appreciate knowing why their post bit the dust.
That would have the benefit of removing editorial bias or capriciousness on the part of the moderator as a reason for slamming golo...

Coming to golo is like being invited to someone else's playground. They own it, but they are nice enough to share it as long as you follow their playgroud rules.

It's not unlike your "right" to show up at a very nice restaurant while barefoot and wearing cut-off jeans and a tank top, and then being offended because they refused you service in accordance with their own standards.

Do we always make the mark? No. And we also know that people will not always agree with our decisions. That's par for the course. Moderating comments on news stories while trying to uphold standards and create a community that people enjoy is a tough gig. An easy one to criticize, but a tough one for sure.
