Electick - I think freedom of speech is permitted on this board.
The only bans that I am aware of are Mongo and Meridian.
Mongo was a blatant basher, but he was funny and I kind of miss him for that.
Meridian highlighted the negatives in the stock and, whilst I did not always agree with him, I was sorry to not see him post any more, because although I did not always like what he had to say, usually had a fair reason for what he posted. I do not agree with his ban, but it was not my call.
The only posts that I really see get deleted are sensless bashing posts and posts that are insulting. I know this, because although the moderators are pretty quick, I see a few before they do.
Pretty open and fair board IMO.
