Documented examples of CougarGuard censorship.
 
This thread is not a complaint.

It as a simple way for the people of CG to monitor the kinds of things that get censored here. as a check against the POTENTIAL abuse of the TWO mods.

If you are aware of an example of CG censorship, please write a non-offending description of the censored post below. If you are aware of someone else's post getting censored, mention it, to the best of your memory (I doubt that grapevine is going to come forward with ALL of his racist posts, but it would be good to have mention of a few here, to simply sample the flavor of the censoring trends of CG).

Discussion about early LDS temple ceremony.

A couple of days ago, I included a post that allegedly quoted from an early LDS temple ceremony from the last centuray. The text included portions of the ceremony that fall outside of the covenant of secrecy. In general terms, this was a religious post that intended to illicit responses to early LDS oaths of vengence and violence in the LDS temple ceremony.

Fallout to the Discussion about early LDS temple ceremony.

Talking with AA after the deleted post, I refered to the fact that in spite of AA's opinion about what can and can not be discussed here, most of the discussion about the early LDS temple ceremony remained. Only the allegedy quoted portions got deleted.

A mod then deleted this post. I assumed it was 'a mod with a sense of humor,' and reposted my comment. The latter comment remains.

This seemed to be an example of a mod flexing his muscle for 'fun?'

While I was on CG the other night, Mrs. myboynoah noticed Archaea's avatar and said she didn't approve. I felt compelled to close my eyes.

Does that count?

I had to block the server referenced by Archaea's avatar. My ten-year-old daughter kept walking by the computer and yelling "Mom! Dad's looking at an inappropriate website again!"

I'll change it when I summon up the energy to find another photo worth having Mike crop for me.

My avatar served its once humorous purpose.

I'm just not creative enough to find something else expressing any novel thoughts, not that the original one did that.

But far be it from me to drive men away from their wives.

Yeah, I hate it when my 10-year-old serves as my conscience. He is so exacting and leaves me absolutely no wiggle room.

Sheesh, isn't that the truth? My daughter is definitely the sheriff of the house, bless her heart.

By the way, what exactly is the "foundation pour l'aphabetization"?

Censored for temple talk again:

Ute4Ever asked why I wanted to talk about the temple. I responded that I was more interested in people's response to an older version of the ceremony, that contains some material that I found to be startling and violent. Some aspect of those posts gets censored some times, and not at other times. Archaea... care to share your reasons?

Here's one hint: Some of us are older.
