- What makes you think there's any real censorship? See the atheism debacle. They tweaked the "algorithm" until it stopped showing up in the top 10 (requirement for frontpage). Try submitting an anti-haskell article in proggit. It will never show up. - Shadowbanning from the site is really only done by hueypriest. If a mod shadowbans you, post elsewhere. Post elsewhere?
