I agree it is.

Your "chemtrails" (BS) photo was not censored. It was moved to the Attic, where it belongs.

It is up to the viewer whether to agree or not to any submittal to a forum. If that ceases, it is no longer a forum.

Okay, he's a viewer who owns the site, so he moved it to the appropriate section.
Regardless of whether you agree with the move or not.

Not correct. It's up to the admin. And a forum is a forum, regardless of your bias.

My recent photo of a chemtrail was removed from this section: just as Google/Youtube did to their users who submitted thousands of videos of chemtrails that were available for a number of years. It began when they added a notification that contrails were what you were seeing. The came the total censoring. I never thought that UHH would sensor any thing other than that which is harmful.

What’s a chemtrail?

I looked up “chemtrails” and it sounds like just another conspiracy theory to me. By rule political comments are only allowed in The Attic and it was moved there for that reason.

Why is it that we 99.99% allow those handful of fools to control our pursuit of happiness.

Then why have so many sections. Let's just combine them all to one. Then try to find something.

I lost track of the post but I did not see it as 'political' at all. Open discussion is just that, open discussion and should not be censored so quickly. In todays world people are too quick to label something or someone to discredit them or the subject.
Oh well, it goes as it goes.

Nobody can delete or move a post except Admin. Obviously he must have seen something objectionable.

It becomes political because the trails are caused (supposedly) by chemicals, not water. Bull in my opinion, but the people that worry about our air say so.

I’m seeing your current post in the “Upcoming Topics” section so I’m assuming it’s the “this section” you are referring to.
Are you sure the original post wasn’t moved to another “section”?

Looks like I was right. It was moved to “The Attic”, it wasn’t deleted.

Wrong. I have been running a car-related forum for over 20 years. I have always had a standing policy (that users must agree to if they wish to join) that the forum is mainly about cars. We have a special forum for discussing non-car related stuff, but the rules are clear to keep politics and generally controversial topics off my forum. This has worked well for 20 years and 99% of my members appreciate it, and they generally all get along regardless of their politics.
Forums like this are PRIVATE owned entities and the owner can set up whatever rules they like and if members don't like those rules, members can simply choose not to participate.
