Appeal went my way. My post on green tech stayed up. Big win for free speech.

Calling it a 'big win for free speech' seems a bit much. I mean, it's just one post, right?

Getting banned for saying 'moist' is the real story here. That's the most wild rule enforcement I've ever heard. What kind of word policing is that even supposed to be?

Honestly the weirdest part is how random these rules feel. Brookel71 getting hit for 'moist' proves there's no real list, it's just whatever a mod hates that day. Makes you wonder if someone had a bad experience with a damp cake or something. The real free speech win would be knowing what words will actually get you in trouble.

True, it's not like they just signed the Magna Carta. But for a forum where they once deleted my post for using the word 'moist,' this feels like a real step forward. We're basically writing on digital scrolls for future generations here.
