Ladies & Gentlemen,
quick reminder that the FT TOS also apply to this section, so please refrain from personal attacks.
In case you were wondering about the definition, here is an excerpt from the Rules:
For those familiar with my moderating style, you may have noticed I will delete posts containing personal attacks in their entirety, so any worthwhile comment you may have made in the remainder of the post is lost forever.
One offensive post deleted. Now back to regular programming.
Regards Oliver2002

My blog has very explicate terms of use. and I will censor any offensive material or advertisements. First post is held for moderation until approved and any there after is automatically approved. I can, will, and have deleted offensive messages.

I think that it may be helpful to ask which blogs censor non-offensive posts, and by that I mean something that doesn't have foul language, threats, overly rude, or mean spirited.

What I do not appreciate are the blogs (like deltapoints) who censor comments that disagree with him. I think that is poor taste as it suggests that you are not secure enough with your content to allow people to suggest opposing views or analysis. However, his blog, he can do what he wants. I give a blog like that lower credibility though because of it.

I would welcome more aggressively challenging comments on my blog. I don't think there is a need for excessive vulgarity, but if there is an issue with the content I think it is an exciting challenge to address it, and either learn something or teach something in the process.

I second brooklynmatt's views completely. When someone has a better method to do something than mine or something to add, I am happy to hear it and then all my readers and myself as well can benefit. If someone only thinks he has a better method, I am happy to hear it as well as that gives me a chance to clarify and solidify my methods and perhaps look at things from a different angle. In life and internet, I will debate with people if I respect their views and opinions.
Furthermore, I would censor comments that are vulgar or profane. Or that are irrelevant to anything on the blog.

All of them, if you post something that's a little juicy about...
1. How much they're making from their blog
2. Details about their personal life, where they live, sexual preference, etc.
I can't say I blame them, either.

I actually found myself censoring this week. Another blogger came by my post and put his affiliate link into it. I felt that was out of line, especially as he did it ignoring my content that already dealt with the subject.
I then made a post about it today!

Delta Points is totally lying when he says he only censors inappropriate comments. I've frequently posted polite comments where I disagree, and he always rejects them. He'll even frequently edit the comment to make it sound like you agree with him.
He just did it to me yesterday with his 50,000 credit card posting. He said they were amazing offers- I responded that they are the normal ones we all know about, and are not great deals. He posted only the '...are great deals' part. Hahaha. That's why I stick to blogs that actually have value. Delta Points censors so much because I'm guessing he is scared of being called out for not having as much knowledge as many of the other bloggers.

A long winded reasoning why someone deleted sbm12s comment in his blog:

If it were my blog, I'd just let someone's comment stay in there, even if they link back etc. If its offensive or blatant spam, I'd delete with a '[redacted spam/offensive]' comment.

The reason I left it there was because I thought it was worth calling out, not deleting.
However, what I am asking for, is do you think the decision, based upon what I said, to call this 'spam' or whatnot is valid? I'm keen to hear from people to see what they think of this.
Others have stated that I can't possibly say such a thing because the person involved has been helpful to them in the past, which I think is irrelevant.
