Moving posts, or entire topics, so they can't be archived or searched isn't censorship, in your mind. So if I move this entire forum where it can't be searched, or read, you won't mind?

What are you talking about? Having content indexed by Google is nothing to do with the purpose or mission of this board and doesn't infringe free discussion at all. Avoiding that isn't censorship and most people understand that. Threads that have been moved certainly still can be searched and read - you are misrepresentating the situation as you so often do.

Some people seem to feel they are owed the right to have their words, their attempts at communication, hosted without challenge, and that's ridiculous.

If you want to move entire forums, you should set one up where you can be an admin.

a) Sure, there’s freedom of speech. Anyone who wants it can go start their own blog. On Yog’s board, Yog’s whim is law.

Bro's very purpose is to attack people rather than ideas.

So, what happened? Tide guy started the same thread three times? Dick move. Merged, fair enough. But why The Cloaca?

Also this thread should prob be in forum admin.

Thought cloaca was for threads that potentially impair the functioning of the board by acting as search bait for the internet's worst people. Not convinced the elephant qualifies.

Also feeding this guy's self-important persecution fantasy is only going to make him more annoying.

Vaccine guy started one thread, it got moved to the Cloaca (why? Maybe because antivaxxers are among the internet’s worst people? Dunno. The admins here have way too much power).
Vaccine guy got in a huff, started another. It got merged. Immediately leapt to assuming it had been deleted & created another.
That got merged too. Vaccine guys wants to characterise this as a fight.

As to being in forum admin...true, but it's about butthurt not policy. A move could be requested.

You say it's not censorship to move other peoples posts and to make them impossible to archive.

So you won't mind if I do that to the entire forum?

Oh, you mean web.archive.org.

If that's what you want, get your own forum.

Did you know that after Caligula said "if they all had one throat" he famously strangled every single Roman citizen at once with his millions of tentacles?
