I think bitcoiners are scared.

I think it's not even worth the effort writing a message.
Mprep, the mod for the Alternate Cryptocurrencies form, has a tough job. He's trying to clean up trolls who would otherwise totally overrun this board. He see hundreds of spammy posts daily, and he doesn't really have time to engage deeply on freedom of speech issues. I spent a little time reading his recent posts, and I would not want the job of moderating a section on btctalk. Not saying at all that your post deserved to be binned -- it looked pretty good to me -- just saying the mod here has a difficult job and so there can be (and often is) collateral damage on this forum. It's just a fact of life here. Once in awhile something good gets tossed out with the trash. It's inevitable.
Bitcoin makes a lot of things possible for Uno. Lets keep politely telling our story (I got feedback recently that the Uno community now has the rep of being a friendly bunch of established traders), and eventually the facts will get out.
Remember that our story about the established & vetted 1 year old cryptocurrency (UNO) is one tiny story coming out of an altcoin firehose that is about 90% spam/scam right now. The mods here know this and are worried about containing it. Don't be offended if people are skeptical or don't "get it" right away. They'll get it in the end. A year from now, Uno will still be on the front page of CMC, and 90% of what's there now will have slid down the ladder far below Uno.
I agree, and I wouldn't lodge a protest. It wouldn't help. He has even less time to adjudicate appeals than he has to judge whether a post is spam/scam. Just take it as a feedback.
