firstly I feel that talking about censorship on the heroes of the storm forum is related enough to heroes of the storm to belong on the heroes of the storm forum
secondly, how am I supposed to read about how the thread broke/violated the code of conduct when only 2 of the 4 threads that got locked/deleted received citations from the code of conduct for so as to why they were deleted, the others were deleted for seemingly no reason and one of them was made unlisted, and there’s not as much as a method of appeal for what you feel is an unjust ban/lock from what I can see, and even trying to discuss to will lead to another lock/deletion, the system is flawed as seen with those 4 threads and other threads in the future
i’m not even trying to argue constitutional or legal rights and they were not mentioned in my post, i’m saying from a moral standpoint the people who had their threads locked were innocent and rules that allow for that sets a bad precedent for the future of the forums since it means they’re allowed to censor whatever they want, which is bad
the first ever megathread and most popular thread on the forum doesn’t even talk about the game itself, it talks about the overall forum design/policy which is the exact same thing i’m trying to do with this thread/my previous threads, it’s fine to talk about that, and censorship is much more important than downvotes
