When telling the truth started to be the reason for banning for certain topic? It raises suspicion that the site is not for immigrants and not for their rights.

Care to elaborate? Just curious

When telling the truth started to be the reason for banning for certain topic? It raises suspicion that the site is not for immigrants and not for their rights.

As long as the truth is stated politely, and is relevant to the thread, you may post it. But we do not allow spamming, or off-topic commentary in the immigration forums (we do have three forums,Immigration News, Off Topic and CHEST, where general discussion on topics is allowed).

In your case, you posted the same thing in several unrelated threads, and in the specific thread you were banned from, you were .asked twice to back up your argument with hard evidence as it seemed irrelevant to the topic at hand. Instead you continued to rant in an immigration forum, which is not permitted as per our TOS, so your next post after the two in-thread warnings was removed and you were thread banned

Who thinks they have done a pretty good job lately and pretty much let us have at it, in some sensitive topics.

I have been here a while , suspended many times, left and come back. I think its important to give them a pat on the back when they are doing good.

A post has been split from this thread into its own topic, "Need Help Merging Two Accounts [split topic]."

We are all adults on this site, so I don't get why some words which aren't even bad are censored out? [sh] word or the [female dog] word.

Truth is that I'm against any form of censorship on a public board. We are all adults here and if somebody is offended by anything said, then they shouldn't leave their house because you hear that and much worse in public.

I got a 3 day suspension on Friday because I used the sh-word and used a * to fool the word filter. Seriously? My 7 year old knows and says that word.

VJ is a family friendly site, well the adverts can be a bit iffy.

[TBoneTX 44,793]

From the site's Terms of Service:

"Attempt to bypass the Forums language filter through the use of alternative characters to spell profanities or through the posting of images containing profanity."

One would do well to review the TOS periodically, as a refresher.

My favourite bed time reading.

Gripping, thrilling reading.

Somehow, most people on the site seem able to get their points across without resorting to profane or scatological terms.

[Eric-Pris 1,604]

I think that VJ has a different definition of profanity.

I think that VJ has a different definition of profanity.

you agreed to follow the terms of service when you joined VJ:

By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when using the Service, you will not:

- Use inappropriate or offensive language that is sexually oriented, sexually suggestive, abusive, defamatory, obscene, profane, or hateful.

regardless of one's view on censorship, this is a private board and all must abide by the terms of service.

Well most people don't let their kids say that word and most people don't want to hear that word. Read the TOS and be polite

So why was this a ToS violation?

If I can constantly be attacked, called a snowflake, and be belittled for expressing genuine concerns about Donald Trump how does telling the silliest attacker to let the adults talk on a complex topic warrant a thread ban?

I don't often complain about moderation, but this was really silly, and I'm not sure which jack-booted Pro-Trump moderator is responsible.
