- non-entity 6y agoNothing, they'll call that censorship too.
- weare138 6y agoTrue. You'd think I would have learned by now. You can't have a logical discussion about illogical views.
- jimbob45 6y agoThey don’t get removed though. You can still read them.
- weare138 6y agoIf you have the option set sure, but they still get flagged and removed from the thread. I just don't see how moderating comments would be considered 'censorship'. Just go post that crap on your own subreddit. If someone is purposefully highjacking a thread to derail it with off-topic comments then they would be the one attempting to suppress someones else's opinion. If the party in question is already acting in bad faith, I don't see how an argument could be made in their favor.
