@ DosDawg, A late reply to your reply...

My intention wasn't as harsh as it may have come across. IMHO I consider the rules as parameters for posting. In that sense the rules are statements of censorship. I didn't mean 'censorship' in the ultimate control type of thing. Simply the idea of allowing certain things to be in certain places is a form of control and censorship.

Having said that I complete agree that there is a need for rules in any given situation and here is no exception. My opinion see more is about the rules set forth and not the moderation of those rules, unless of course there's no reason given to the original poster, which seems to have changed.

'Control the flow of information' well in actuality yes the rules are in place to do just that. Post Q&A over here, post ads over here etc. That's all. I see where what I posted it can come across differently but it was not my intention.

As I said before, I have rules and guidelines on my sites as well. My disagreement as to how to organize a site holds no water here as it's not my site. My opinion is just that, an opinion (and you know what they say about opinions). While I'm here I play by the rules set forth here.

But I do think, for what it's worth, that a much simpler forum setup would clear up alot of confusion.
