I'm pretty sure there are other forums where this discussion could go on.  I know it's in 'Off Topic' but it's not particularly relevant to Yellow Fever and quite frankly it's not a great advertisement for the Fever or some of the posters.

I'm not shutting it down but feel free to shift it to another platform like Stuff comments..

Thanks.

Total cop out in my opinion and symptomatic of the times we live in with all the usual excuses for censorship and control rolled out.

Whats the point in having a OT forum if you don't want to let people have OT discussions? Great discussions are had here and I see no need for censorship.

feels like some posters want YF to be a safe space. why is that? 

Is this just more evidence of people being intolerant to views outside their own echo chamber? People just wanting to hear things that they agree with or feel good about?

I bet if I started making fun of trump it would not be seen as a bad look for YF by mods and in fact all the usual suspects would love it.

Political moderating? YF echo chamber?

Hmmmmmm.

Either way disappointing and rather hypocritical moderating.

More evidence of people being intolerant to views outside their own echo chamber imo. People just want to hear things that they agree with or feel good about.
