Is Wickedfire Turning Into Communist China? - Wickedfire Censorship Scandal Of 2010
We already know a majority of the mods are practically communists, so perhaps the recent sequence of events shouldn't have come as a surprise.
Turbo: self proclaimed liberal housewife
Lord B: mild-mannered liberal
Nickycakes: flaming liberal, voraciously devours Obama's nuts
Eli: atheistic liberal
Papajohn: kinda does his own thing politically, hates both sides
Barman: more interested in weed and porn
So when one of their own went on a purging spree, erasing evidence, deleting posts, censoring with wild abandon, and then demonizing legitimate dissent, perhaps it shouldn't have been a surprise that there was no apology or clarification whatsoever.
Any responses dealt solely with the IP Collection Scandal of 2010 or some version of it; however many were careful to tip toe around the explosive facts of the Wickedfire Censorship Scandal.
For clarification, let us review the Wickedfire Censorship Scandal of 2010:
AT LEAST 3 Wickedfire members, including me, saw their posts deleted, not for trollery or inappropriate comments(does such a thing even exist on WF?) - but because they criticized a moderator. And that moderator subsequently abused his powers to silence and crush their criticism.
And so I ask you, great Wickedfire members, is this place turning into Communist China? Can we now count on critical posts getting deleted? Must we now pay obeisance to those who hold moderator powers over us? Has the free speech we've held dear for so long evaporated into thin air? Must we now live in fear and terror of voicing the truth, in case it causes some of the higher ups displeasure?
Can we now expect Wickedfire censorship?
And for those whose vaginas will no doubt bleed profusely over this thread, I direct your attention to Jon's response when queried over this growing crackdown on free speech:

Exactly, along with my post questioning the thread manipulation.
I don't necessarily agree with everything that was said but I believe Super has the right to call Nicky out for his motives instead of having them moved to another thread where they are no longer in context.
I saw what you said fatbat, Your post was deleted completely though...
Nicky, you can't go making a thread here and then deleting posts in it because you disagree with them, even if they are overly retarded and useless. That's censorship and if you remember back to how upset you got with me when I was doing it to you, it works both ways dude. Just let people say what they want and don't take it so personally, ya know?

I left that call up to him. Don't go blaming me. Take it up with him.
Make your own thread about it then...
