Jsnively: Do you consider this calling him out personally? Honestly asking to gauge what the boundaries are. Also, just a casual observation, it seems like the forums are being slightly over-moderated. However, they are SO MUCH BETTER than before. I MUCH prefer over to under-moderated (especially when it comes to politically charged topics). So thank you.

No, not at all. Your post is perfectly fine. It's more when people start calling each other names (or that's the slope we're careening towards) that kind of thing we tend to step in. In this case one of the posts in question was actually flagged by a user, and I happened to agree. Live and learn I guess. I did restore everything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We've let up on the moderation a lot. There were a few months where i was reading literally every single post that went up here, but that just lead to me spending way too much time on the forums and not getting other stuff done. Plus that way leads madness -- it was not good for my mental health. These days we (mostly) only act on reports, with a few exceptions. I always check-in a few times a day just to make sure nothing has gotten too out of control.

Let's keep this on topic, please.

I've deleted 5 or 6 comments already talking about Alex Jones. This is not a thread about Alex Jones. His name was only mentioned in a single comment as an example of an interview style. Let's leave it at that. 

As with all these threads, we think the conversation around it is important, but we are heavily monitoring and moderating what gets posted. Please keep it on topic and avoid throwing partisan politics and political attacks at each other. As always, remain civil.

We managed to have two good threads yesterday, let's not blow that streak. If things get too out of hand we will close the thread.

This is an important topic and conversation about it from all sides is more than warranted. Just be respectful to each other and please keep things on topic. If it gets out of hand we will close the thread.

Please keep the focus on the exploits, wikileaks, and the IC. If things get out of hand or too abrasive we're going to have to lock the thread. Be respectful to each other.
