If you ban illegal goods here, another place for them will appear.
I think that's the whole point of the discussion - to keep it away from THIS forum if at all.

Remember guys, this forum is backed up. We're like hydras heads.

What is our goal here?
Is our goal to destroy fiat money?
Or is it something more radical than this?
Obviously, the community is made of individuals with differing perspective on politics. How should we handle this political diversity? Should we let the philosophy of the members guide bitcoin's development?

If it won't cause the forum to be shutdown then I see no reason to ban anything. With the exception of childporn. There are some things that people wont tollerate and thats anything to do with childporn.
If that were being discussed in the forum, aka "selling wild pics of kids for btc" sort of thing then thst will bring large groups in attacking not just bitcoin but the forum too. That would make us a major target for politicians, the media and others.
At least until the forum is hosted as a tor hidden service and accessed only through a tor inproxy or someting.

Bitcoin is money of the free, let this place be its forum
I'm strongly against any rule other than "be respectful to others", and I'm willing to support that by hosting a mirror in case something goes wrong.

If you want freedom for yourself you have to let others be free.
That is all.
That is all.
I'm leaning toward having no explicit rules, unless it starts giving us too much trouble at some point. The forum won't go down because of somebody selling drugs, it's just a matter of reputation. Sex and drugs are very good for publicity and grassroots marketing, but possibly a turn-off for brands that want to avoid association. I don't think the association thing is a problem, but we can change the rules later if it becomes that way. We can of course have the unwritten rule to keep controversial stuff low-profile like it is now.
edit 19.2.:
Illegal goods are now banned on the marketplace (rules). The decision is based on the notion that there's no need to keep that kind of content on this particular forum. The cost of having to go somewhere else is smaller than the cost of possible bad reputation on this forum.
