Shitheads that like to harass, abuse and stalk other users gets banned, and that is a good thing. Take the user SpicyDick for example, that user is on his, what, 30th account now because he is toxic, abusive and uses vote manipulation to harass other users and disrupt the forum.
This user was downvoting every single post and comment I made down to -12 WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES of me posting them. That went on for a week or so, with breaks and then the same downvote pattern on me and others when he was banned again. The user SpicyDick is a toxic abusive user that has harassed this forum for months, constantly making alts and crying about getting banned for breaking site content rules.
There is censorship here. Just indirect.
People are banned to discourage further posting, at the whims of the mods.
They can make alts and post again of course. But the ban is intended as a form of punishment to discourage more posting, or delay it.
