I don't think self moderated threads are censorship, contrary to what most people think.
Censorship would imply that the OP is going around deleting your posts from your own thread. It does not mean someone controlling what is written in their own thread. For example, if I make a thread about waffles, I don't want some guy coming in and chiming about pancakes, even though it is perfectly within forum rules to do so. That's where self-moderation comes in. It's not censorship, because the pancake guy can simply make his own thread about pancakes.
Censorship would be if I deleted my own threads about pancakes.
What do you guys think, is making self-moderated threads censorship?
