I have a blog called Will Run For Miles (www.WillRunForMiles.com).

I do not censor unless the post is spam.

The reason I delete bot spam is that they often has links, which, if opened, could do nasty numbers on people's computers, etc.

Readers are welcome to disagree with me and comment so on the blog but may not post foul language (The blog is PG-13!) , or launch personal attacks on me or other readers (I respect my readers)!

This policy is clearly stated on the blog for all to see on the blog. Sorry, you many not come and smoke in "my house" and expect me to put up with it!

BTW, Flyer Talk censors comments too (i.e. you can not say anything you want on FT either)!
I also choose not to read your blog due to the censorship and PG-13ness of it. It's your blog, do as you wish. I will do as I wish and not read it. ^

This thread has seemed to devolved into a bunch of bloggers with superiority and holier than thou attitudes trying to establish who has the higher moral ground. Geeeezzzzz.

They're pulling that content to the front page teasers.

Not quite. More like a bunch of posters with superiority and holier than thou attitudes trying to establish they hold the higher moral ground over bloggers.

A commenter on TBB's blog posted that FTG deleted Gary's comment on his blog which had Gary's superior PointsHound referral link

I would prefer if someone else can confirm this happened, as if true, it would easily reach a new low in censoring. To the point where it might deserve it's own special section in the wiki

If anybody actually cares about this point, which they may well do, it can take it on it's own life there. But it does not change the fact that the DeltaPoints blog is one of the most heavily censored blogs in the market. While the author has attempted to suggest they only censor comments that are derogatory or spiteful or criticize the blog, they are known to have censored comments which merely point out that better offers than the ones posted on the blog are available, which one would think would be in the best interests of that blog's readers.
I see DeltaPoints has done a heavy amount of editing to the wiki here. That censoring seems to extend beyond his own blog...

I had added: [DeltaPoints] "does not like being called out on inaccurate info" and he deleted it.

Thankfully most people I talk to see right through the inaccurate information posted on that blog but I do feel bad for the DP readers who don't know any better and don't see when that 'helpful info' from DP has been challenged. Sad.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Kids,
this threads wikipost is being edited by all and sundry. While its certainly appreciated that members are embracing the new function so wholeheartedly, may I remind everyone to calm down and use their creative energy someplace else. There is a function available to the mod to lock down/freeze the wiki post, which I may make use of and only add entries using my mod powers. This would be a shame, especially in such an interesting topic.

Your comment is there, and has been since about 8 hours after you left it. No one on first2board censors, but our configuration does require a 1st time commenter be approved before the comment is visible. This significantly reduces spam.

I appreciate it's a bit of a circus, but one has to appreciate the irony of the threat of censorship in a post about censorship

Updated wiki, my apologies.

Maybe it will get answered too
