Comment on It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.

  It’s weird. The simple fact of being watched and told what you can say. And the possibility that what you’re saying is being edited and what you’re hearing is edited too.

  This strikes me as abhorrent. But most of the people here call it necessary, preferable and even desirable.

    I moderate showerthoughts.

    I certainly don’t know everything but I’m very sure I can’t edit other people’s posts.

    If a post is questionable, then I try to message people and talk it out. We are all human.

    Some people wish we moderated more aggressively to keep the post quality higher, others, like yourself wish there was less moderation. I try to leave things up unless there is an obvious violation, I try to apply the rules fairly, I am human.
