Evolutionary.org is a
privately held forum. We make all the rules clear to the members when they sign up, and they are clearly posted on the forum (stickies etc.). We don't have secret rules, all rules are clearly posted for every member, as you just pointed out Oregongearhead. If someone is banned for not following openly stated rules, I don't see a problem with it. It's not like we have unwritten rules.
We never claimed to have a "no censorship" model on the whole forum. If a member does not like our rules, they are welcome to join other forums out there. We are not forcing anyone to stay; on the contrary, if a member cannot follow our rules, we would rather part ways.
P.S. Many members who are banned for selling steroids and drugs via our private message system are banned for a reason. We have the PMs and IPs to prove it. They get upset and run to other forums to badmouth us. I'm sorry, it's against the rules to use our PM system to sell steroids and recreational drugs, those are our rules on
our forum.
