Yeah, as we heard, there were mass post/thread deletions and user bans on Cheathappens, too, during the "Cheathappens banned Romania" scandal (?). Moderation/censorship to protect useful discussion from bullshit, to raise the signal/noise ratio, is fine but must be done with great care. Mindless censorship only shows the weakness of being unable to stand criticism, killing the carrier of bad news instead of acting upon it which may also include recognizing and getting rid of your bad habits. (To make sure there's no misunderstanding: if someone is searching for our standing against criticism, you can read our very detailed announcements and answers to accusations and understand our reasons.)

That's what's happenning at Cheathappens and, it seems, at h4x0r, too. Another glance at the stirred up shit that comes out of the human psyche under pressure, showing that we're, after all, still animals.
