I prefer freedom of speech even if I have to see the dummies post. Censorship/over-moderation sucks. Voted no.

I like heavily moderated forums, although I'd like it better if the entire forums were this way.

if people start calling people noobs and such they deserve a post ban imo, freedom of speech is not the same as a right to insult.

Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel,slander, obscenity,^{[citation needed]} sedition (including, for example inciting ethnic hatred), copyright violation, revelation of information that is classified or otherwise.

The right to freedom of expression is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the ICCPR states that "[e]veryone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference" and "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice". Article 19 goes on to say that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "[f]or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals"

We already have one and its great. I would tell you more about it but if you don't know about it means you can't get in. I hope I am not in trouble even mentioning it, but it really is fantastic, honestly.

I am in favor of a heavily moderated section of the forums. Perhaps one where you had to pay a moderate fee, like nine to eleven dollars, to post.

That sounds somewhat familiar, I wonder why.

Call it the fanboi forum where all criticism and balance feedback is removed, just leaving posts telling everyone that everything is perfect?

When, that's one way to remove them from the general posting pool.
