Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: What you can't say on LUG

Some people are whitelisted because it's simply too much work to moderate
everyone. However if they post things that go against the LUG rules (which is
not about expressing certain opinions but more about causing flamewars)
they'll be taken off the whitelist again.
f-erenc and orren break the rules but are not moderated.
The notion that the moderators block posts because they don't like what's in
it, is disproven by the fact that you see posts about any opinion on Logic or
the moderators themselves, good and bad, appearing on the LUG.
Actually they DO do a good job in general, but there is an element of randomness too. They seem to randomly let some things through - or perhaps don't really check then other times they are very snippy. So I don't think you can draw a conclusion actually.

And what exactly was in it?

Yes, and it wouldn't be if it wasn't for the moderation.
You'll notice that almost nothing get censored here - except the spammers - in fact there were some people who complained about this list itself on this list. As long as it doesn't descend into chaos or insults, I don't see anything wrong with having an open forum.
