How would you define spam?

>>Because the unpopular points of view are the ones being reported, this kind of definition can be used as censorship.

It doesn't matter if unpopular viewpoints are reported. Because they get reported doesn't mean I remove them. Keep in mind, that I am not at all influenced by the number of TOS reports per post. I only see the first one. Others are ignored/not added to my system.

On the flip side, should Chowderhead remove something that doesn't violate the TOU, it is restored.

As far as the current definition, it has served the site well, and it is very clear to me and the vast majority of the other participants here. Further, it is absolutely, 100% impossible to lay out the defintions of everything that is against the rules or to provide a rule for each issue. We only attempt to do our best.

Cassandra. I think the definition is just fine.
Like Matt has told you.
If you disagree with the moderator email him.

Because the unpopular points of view are the ones being reported, this kind of definition can be used as censorship.

Stock message boards will always have more postive messages than negative on the majority of boards.

To use that as an argument is rediculous to say it's censorship.
Of course the negative ones will be reported more.
But guess what?
Matt doesn't do a survey when he makes a decision.
He doesn't get a PM and say I better wait and see how many PM's I get before either restoring or deleting a post.
You only need to report a post once.
Bring it to his attention and let him deal with it.
