Only had three posts. An indication, I believe, that the liberal wing there is really cracking down, kind of like twitter with Conservatives.

I saw it after it was locked.  I read the article.

It is sad that they are so closed minded.

You'd probably be banned, or at least given a time out for days, weeks, months, etc.  Leftists don't allow opposing thought.

Yup, people would get a vacation

interestingly, a number of posters can complain out covid-19 overreaction without being banned... of course that group includes some of the mods, so....

One recent thread was started to explore the profanity filter (with a number of people piling on, as you'd expect).  That thread is gone.  Don't know if any of the participants got anything more than a warning.

Depends.

PoA has always had their “preferred” members who can do as they please.   Then they have a list of others that get slapped with the even slightest provocation. 

The aviation content there has been spiraling down hill for a while there.  It use to be an interesting read, anymore it’s like Flying or AOPA Pilot, takes me less than five minutes to read them.

I have not been going there this year. I've scaled back to this board and the Purple Board.

I don't go there either.  Maybe once or twice in the last few years.  Once in a while I will post just to shock people but that is very rare for me.  When they got rid of SZ the "newer" people seemed to take over, and I no longer felt it was worth the time.

The ferocity and ignorance of the censor all  viewpoints except approved communist opinions has raised to a whole new level this year.

What's really frustrating is that the common user will never know that the censorship is going on.  Postings and threads just disappear.  All will appear happy fuzzy bunny while the censorship machine works in the background.  At least a locked thread shows what they don't like.  This way you never know until whatever you post disappears and you're banned.

even locked threads that remain will have "offensive" posts deleted, like the one on COVID-19 model forecasting failures.
