Footman,
if a blog is in fact a blog, and not a technical support question from the beginning, then i have not seen where anything of the sort has been deleted. if a person as a new member or aged member who is unknowing of the rules, posts a technical support question in the blogs, the rules clearly state, that this is not where support questions should be posted. in the past support questions have been posted in the blogs and in some instances they have been answered. it is the intent of the see more site administration (owners) that all support related inquiries be posted on the support forums.

now i have somewhat of a concern that you would consider simple moderation and rule applicability to be a form of censorship.

' They have implemented 'rules' to be followed here in an attempt to control the flow of information.

I think this is not an accurate statement, nobody is trying to control the flow of information, the flow of information shall prevail, when posted in the designated area of the site. nobody is controlling the flow of information.

While I personally feel it's not right, it's their place, their rules. If we want to play in there sandbox we have to follow their rules, or at the very least understand why posts get deleted.

There are many sites with way more strict rules and moderation. This post was created as an attempt to create more discontent posting statements that were not factual. You are correct in one thing, just like any other site, the rules are posted, and the rules should be adhered to. these really are simple rules, and should not take much effort in following.
