So I will have to reiterate this invalidates any kind of concern about the well-being of members being grabbed by foot soldiers, or federal agencies looking for any excuse to shut us down. Can we admit that was not an actual justification for enforcement now?
Why can't you? If you're going to have "NSFW" zones simply to placate users, while having true cause to believe the content posted there is so dangerous we have to worry about intelligence agencies shutting us down and users potentially being grabbed from their homes by boots on the ground, you are acting in a way that is INCREDIBLY foolish. So either you are not mentally sound to be moderating this board or that point was not material to this discussion. There really isn't a middle ground here
The whole internet is public and we should act accordingly, free will also exists. For some reason rule 1 is too difficult a task for some people so I'm not sure what else I should do.
Maybe I am a crazy paranoid conspiracy theorist or maybe I'm a time traveler, the world may never know..
Because on a conspiracy forum we generally believe that free speech is important and censorship is inherently wrong (especially when the censorship being enforced is the same as the "regime", however you want to define that, is enforcing). It's not just about being able to use slurs.
I just don't understand how you can hold the belief that we need to clamp down on this speech because it's going to get us shutdown and people literally jackbooted, but then say, "eh I'll allow it in some places so people stop being mad". I do think it's good that you're considering how to handle other viewpoints (though I disagree with the handling) and am trying to keep a measured head about this. But I just cannot understand how you can hold these two ideas at once. It's cognitive disonnence to the extreme
Maybe I am a crazy paranoid conspiracy theorist or maybe I'm a time traveler, the world may never know.
I know, it's both, and the world will know. I'm patiently waiting for my signal to release the next Official Disclosure. Your steering clear of responsibility for threads containing stopwords is eminently sensible.

I can't admit that but if people wanna act foolish that's on them, I won't have the whole board be covered in shit and pigs.
