Even though I spend 99.9% of my forum time here on The Underground, like most of us, I also belong to a few other forums.
Recently, I was contacted by an ECF member via the ECF Personal Message System like the one we have available to us here.
So we started to chat back and forth on a particular subject not really related to vaping but still of mutual interest.
I quickly learned to my horrified surprize when I was talking about my stupid and lazy bitch that I am stuck with as my rural postal carrier, I saw that my Private Message had been censored. The word "Bitch!" had been replaced with" :.....!"
And when I replied about the censorship, I used the term "WTF". Guess what, that got censored as well.
I know for certain sure that the Private Message System here is actually "Private". None of the Admins or Moderators can take a peek what we are talking about behind the scenes. Nore are we interested. Sure it could be done but it would take a massive effort and most likely screw the whole forum up.
But ECF?
I am almost willing to bet that if one of the ECF members used the names of Classwide, Rolygate or Old Soldier and the rest of that motley crew, that they would get an alert and be able to take a look at the PM that used their names.
Censorship really? In this day and age?
WTF!
