Over-zealous moderation stifles online-communities.
The heavier moderation is, the more moderate people leave. This creates a community consisting purely of "yes men".
The result is a community with an increasingly elitist feel where new members are shouted down by those who feel they are closer to the moderators. It starts small and becomes a massive issue down the track.

Chinese government alt detected.
So, you're basically saying that you're one of those guys who doesn't know the difference between freedom of speech and personal insults? Roger, got that.
Ah, wait, I see, it's "teh intarwebs", rules are different here. Oh well, never mind ... 
The "chinese government alt" was just demostrating the attitude that becomes more prevalent under over-moderation.
The users start to act more like moderators whenever a thread isn't removed instantly,
turning themselves into a social police-force making sure no one settles who doesn't already
agree with the established community groupthink.

I especially dislike the overly aggressive word filtering that picks up those words that contain syllables that might otherwise be considered profane if used as a separate and all too familiar obscenity.
OBSCENITY... as in a certain recent VIDEO featuring just about every employee in CCP enthusiastically f-bombing without restraint.
Hell (did that get censored?) I loved the video. It was cool. Sure, let's just exercise some tolerance and call that liberal usage of everyone's fave F-bomb and applaud the "artistic license". I'll agree 100%.
But let's see CCP grow a pair, apologize and drop this hypocrisy right now with all this heavy-handed censorship.
Cheers.
lol and for all of 3 seconds they managed to restrain from saying "f u c k" in the key-note address.

no opinion as I have no idea what is prompting this, but some observations:
For those screaming "censorship": CCP is a private entity, and this forum is their property. Posting here is, therefore, a privilege, not a right
CCP has the right to have no customers also.
