Is the moderation more light-touch here than on other Aspie boards?

Q

I'm finding the moderation on other boards somewhat oppressive, as I cannot discuss religious issues with a free hand. The moderation on the board I am referring to never used to be this restrictive, but it's taken a turn for the worse.

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks

Quart
 
We try to be a bit more on the light side here, however it doesn't mean everything goes and we wont ban anyone.

There are a few topics we pretty much don't allow per rules, one of the being religion (the other one being politics that are not related to autism specifically), as these topics require a lot of moderation and people will most likely get offended in said threads. It's one of the ways we try to keep a friendly atmosphere here.

Thanks for the offer, but I wanted to discuss Islam. I can see that it's not going to be possible here, as I have very polarising opinions on the topic. Thank you for your time, though.
 
If you don't like it here then I'm sure there are a number of other forums you could find.
 
I know that on some of the other Aspie forums they allow a free reign when it comes to posting anti Islam and Muslim sentiment (coupled with outright hate for all 'brown' people from some) and that was extremely scary for me as a Muslim person with mixed race kids. There is freedom of speech and there is being allowed to expose views that belong on Stormfront.

I'm not saying I don't like it - I wanted to ask what the ground rules were.

Many thanks. (I'm running out of autism forums that will accept me, frankly.)

I believe in freedom of speech (including the type of Stormfront-esque stuff you're on about). However, I find Stormfront unpleasant. I don't like Islam one bit, but I hate white supremacists just as much.

You are some hot guy,
if you can bake cookies
in your hands.

Lots of people have to
resort to using an oven
for that process.
