freedom of speech has been shut down.

It hasn't.

You can say what you like, within the rules that you agreed to when you joined. There is a separate location for politics if you want to pursue that topic: https://naca.cyclechat.net/

I had said something about over jealous Mods deleting stuff from threads rather than allowing adult discussion to take place. Since there now seems to be some interest, I've but something back.

Site seems to be being run by a group of 'do gooders', and posts are removed without speaking to the authors first, and despite the fact that many people have added 'likes' or commented on posts, and therefore, it seems, want to discuss or carry on as before - but no "the line is - NO POLITICS", so the freedom of speech has been shut down.

I don't think the mods had a difficulty with "allowing adult discussion to take place". What they had a difficulty with was discussion too often turning into puerile and insulting arguments. Hence the new site.

what folk need to remember is we are all guests here , and when we signed up we agreed to certain rules, if you no longer agree with those rules then i guess the answer is obvious.

This is a cycling forum - get over to the 'other bit' if you want that sort of discussion.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Removal of posts from a cycling chat room is not "censorship".

At the moment, the approach being taken is to me, highly questionable, but if we don't like it, we're at liberty to bugger off and are entirely free to express whatever views we like in a plethora of other locations.

We'll see how it settles down.
