Controling posts simply ensures the moderation of QueerMeNow ... it doesn't deny anyone the right to find another venue, or to create their own forum, to have their say. Use of the word censorship is misleading. Besides, banning the odd ignorant post will make reading what others have to say less annoying, :) Censorship is denying someone the right to speak out.

Norbara the only "personal" information I have seen come out on these blogs was the catfight between Leo G. and QueerClick and frankly Leo brought a lot of that on himself. From what a few people I communicate with in the industry, a lot of the comments that followed were a long time coming if you know what I mean. Leo wrote the same thing almost verbatim on another forum (non porn) about threatening to sue and the comments were far more vicious then anything I have read on the porn blogs. However, the comments didn't come from porn fans they came from people that knew Leo in his previous life. All I can say about it is WOW.....JUST WOW!

Look at the whole argument about Gay4Pay that most of the pornsumers seem to hate yet the industry embraces! No one has censored THAT discussion. As for criticism of porn sites and DVD's it happens all the time, I allow a healthy difference of opinion and I am sure QueerMeNow does a swell. What we witnessed with Bobby Clark was just plain mean and trollish. I have a rule on mine no personal attacks unless a politician is the target! They deserve the brickbats!

If you mean that it's QMN in the chains and the porn industry that has it by the balls, then yes. Because make no mistake. This change is made because the porn sites are bitching. It's happening at all blog sites. The porn industry hates to read criticism about itself. “the photo, got the guy by the balls, S/M, ironic?”

And it is a personal blog...so he is entitled to do what he feels! I don't think it's unfair...

That's the reason why I come to QMN and Way Big more than QC that I used to visit. Because it's much more fun and gossip-y for me to see all kind of comments. Unedited and uncensored. I mean, without this, who gonna agree with much how much of shit G4P actors are. And how many of them are such dickheads. I kinda like the “uncensor” thing.

It's not unfair that's he is moderating some of the downright rude and cruel posts that have been made over time. Like Jason said, don't post here or get your own blog where you can allow insults to your heart's content. Uh, since it’s a private blog he has a RIGHT to allow whatever comments he wishes.

If they don't want to do it then someone else will and it's not for the GAY men it's so they can make large amounts of money in a relatively short period of time. I have not attacked any one on here so I know I am not contributing to the problem. That said I rechecked the thread about Bobby Clark and in that instance yes active moderation is necessary.

This is HIS blog, and he has a right to run it whatever way HE see's fit. If people will not be civil and on topic, then it's up to the blog owner to not approve of such comments in the first place. Geez, have some respect for the time and work that goes into this blog and stop behaving like children. There is nothing unfair about that. If you're not going to abide by the rules, then don't post here. Go somewhere else or start your own blog. No one is stopping you. Most blogs have a commenting policy, it helps maintain order and reduce problems. There is a huge distance between censorship and moderation.
