I don't understand how people get censorship (evil, nasty, burn it!) and moderation (good, nice, I'd be willing to pay for it) confused. Censorship (in the legal sense) is the forced restriction of freedom of expressions. Moderation, or editing, is an act of choice by those reading the edited material. You have ASKED the editor to edit for you, and you should probably be paying that person. What's the similarity? -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473

I think the problem is the concept of a censory board with the power to make cuts. They view themselves as editors, but I certainly didn't ask them for any editing. Personally, I would call it censorship if they make cuts and moderation if they describe problems and/or produce versions of the same thing for different levels of censorship. In otherwords, XXX may be OK, but it should be labelled as such.
