    Some comments are going straight to moderation.

    Seems that geeks and gamers are run by some hidden SJWs.

      What did you post and how…. If you put more than 3 or four pictures or links…. or tried to edit to quickly after posting there is known bugs in the system that needs fixing.

      If any post needed censoring it was a certain THOR conversation and its still up last i checked and still hilarious.

        If your comment goes straight to moderation, check these things:

        1) How many link/images are there? The maximum of these you can post at a time is 4

        2) Did you edit your post? Sometimes there’s a glitch that marks edited post as spam, the more times you edit, the more likely this is

        If your comment still goes straight to moderation, do this:

        1) Click the “back” button

          I’d love to know what was censored. Regardless, I knew freedom of speech would be limited eventually. It’s what always happens when you hire anyone from the LGBT community. Deny the harsh truth all you want, but they have been the backbone of everything wrong in Western society since gay marriage became legal.

          You don’t see Japan having any of that before the 2010s and they aren’t afraid of using any homosexuality/lesbian/transvestism in their media. I may get modded but I’m not being politically correct for anybody. Where I’m from, I have something called the Constitution and its first amendment gives me the freedom of speech.

          I have never experienced “censorship” on G&G forums.

          We had some very differing opinions in some threads, but since it was never a “flame-war” of words, we got to see each others side of the topic, agreed to disagree, and moved on to other things.

          And in other topics, I found sometimes we were on the same side, and in another not.

          That is what open discussions are all about.  And is something G&G promotes.

           

          The odd “bug” with posting I had, but NEVER censorship.

          And yay, do like @DigiCat suggested.

          I have had to do that in the past, especially when I have tons of new memes to add.  Sometimes doing them too quickly gets you a “spammed time-out” in that thread, etc.

          Tis nothing a little patience will easily overcome.

          Every now and then someone accuses the site staff of being woke, and their proof is tenous at best.

          I don’t think anyone on Geeks & Gamers is all that particularly conservative or even right-wing – Even if some of them might’ve voted for Trump – They’re against SJW’s because they recognize them for the bullies that they are and think it’s wrong that right-wingers are getting deplatformed by Big Tech just for their opinions.

          I don’t know to what extent these forums are moderated; I can’t speak for the site staff. But it seems to me they allow a lot of leeway into what people here can say. Niko was allowed to post his schizophrenic nonsense for several months before seemingly deleting his account. I know of several message boards in the 2000s that would’ve banned him in less than week. Not for anything he believes in, but for his piss-poor attitude and resorting to cheap insults whenever anyone confronted him on his positions. It was completely detrimental to any kind of conducive environment or good-faith discussion and I’m pretty sure it factored into several of the first-time members from nearly a year ago leaving and never coming back.

          I respect the site staff for standing up freedom of speech, but their rules for general conduct are rather vague and ill-defined (though, I admit, the distinction can be a fine line sometimes. People are allowed have opinions that might be considered by others as unpleasant, but it’s another matter if they use their views as an excuse to treat someone with utter disrespect).

            If anyone has any posts/comments going straight to moderation, please let us know (with a screen cap attached if possible). I’ll have to double check on this, but I believe it’s our spam filter kicking in if there are too many links or pics.

            I’d love to know what was censored. Regardless, I knew freedom of speech would be limited eventually. It’s what always happens when you hire anyone from the LGBT community.

            Wtf lol I didn’t even do anything. I primarily stay on our Discord server.

              Well @Siobhan maybe you need to get in this sandbox more often :)

              @Captain_Cronos I think you should come out already.

              I dunno about discord, i don’t use it. But here in the forum there’s zero censorship, which is amazing :)  even sometimes we read some pretty hardcore stuff but still, no censorship, we are free here, and because of that we should all be grateful for G&G to offer us such a great online space. Nowadays we see what’s going on on youtube, facebook, twitter, twitch, reddit, etc. so every time there’s an online community that promotes freedom of speech, we should praise it and respect it.

              Now, sure, there’s some issues, some bugs, but the G&G team is taking care of it.
              The biggest problem seems to be that issue with some posts being automatically flagged as spam and we can’t see it. sometimes we waste a bunch of time writing it and then *puff* nothing is posted lol, “try again with less links and pics” :D
              But other than that, the forum is good. And the sky is the limit.
              We should be thankful not only to the G&G team but also to the many users that come here daily to make the forum active and healthy ;D It’s great to see the forum show up on google searches very often ;)

              Cheers

                A trick I use if edited post get deleted is after going back before reposting I tag it as “notfuckingspam”, up to now it’s worked every time 😁
