If it's "fairly obvious", show us some evidence at least.
That's the catch with censorship.
If big blockers are censored, explain how this guy gets a free pass to start new threads daily and bump old ones on a regular basis.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/rawdog-196289Well, that's an interesting example, but speaking only from my own experience with mods here I don't feel it's a place for open discussion any more, certainly compared to other bitcoin forums. This seems more like the volunteer division of the blockstream marketing department.
I'm not claiming this as conclusive, only that I've seen enough for me to disengage.
What I found here or heard is that if you lose your account the only way to get it back is to "prove' such with your btc address on the main page and a private key for such
(any paper wallet with such even empty will do) then you can 'prove' it by sending the private msg that bitcoin has (forget the name) using your private key to sign such
did it once for a usb drive it was a pain of a way to make a sale
I see adam has NO btc address on a profile..thus screwed ..thus his access is never coming back it seems...had friends with accounts here hacked..without above the mods
won't even answer you email
so if you have not done so..make a blank paper btc wallet with private keys it can even be frigging never have btc in it..put it on your profile (for tips hah) and then worse
comes to worse and hacked you can get your account back..pain thou it may be
anyway what I've heard from more then one guy who had his account info lost in 2014 when this site was 'breached'
