I don't normally post on the forums anymore, but after a few instances where certain things have been censored on the forums directly, I simply want to know why these censorships are being put in place and what others think or feel about this.
I am usually one for censoring harmful words or explicit content, but the things being censored recently on this forum in my opinion is a bit, well, far-fetched. Such as the mention of 'October' which is all I'll need to say to avoid the censorship aspect of it. This was followed up with the censorship of Discord as an entire platform, which is something I still disagree with as a whole.
The last thing I've come to notice is xSpirit's Ko-Fi link for support being censored on the site. For what reason, I am unaware, but to be quite frank it just seems a bit 'much' to put it in a nicer tone. To me, the idea of censorship on this forum has gone off the deep end, and I do not mean this in a good way. Censorship has always had a poor connotation to it, but it's what you do with it and how you apply it that makes it in poor taste, and I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but it's a bit disrespectful and where I tend to draw the line to not only censor out Discord as a platform where a majority of this userbase goes, but also to censor out someone's means of receiving direct support for their work.
I personally believe these restrictions should be lifted, because to be quite frank, this is getting out of hand way too quickly for a game that is dwindling in numbers.
