I'm concerned about the freedom of speech aspect of this forum. It states that it utilizes automated action/notifiers when posts are filtered in as "kooky" or conspiratorial but then collects and holds post on record without consent. It gives posters the ability to 'delete' posts, but at the cost of maintaining both a public record of your decision to delete it, and a record of the deleted material. There's one other thing... If a website requires you to submit info to subscribe and participate but then disallows you to un-subscribe and delete, then all your intellectual participation is no longer your property in this cyberspace format, but the price of participation. Is that listed somewhere in the ToS?
