I'm going to chime in as the manager of this site. I am pro free-speech. I grew up in the early days of the internet where it was the wild west. I generally try not to censor stuff on here. Someone said they can tell my political affiliation by what I censor, but....that would be surprising to me considering I think I've deleted threads on both sides of the aisle. This is not a political sub, it's a sports sub. I didn't have a problem with the topic mentioned (whether or not to send your kids to South Carolina), but within the thread itself, people began slinging mud in a way that didn't seem all that productive to the conversation at hand.
If you notice that I don't always delete threads, it's because I honestly don't sit here and read through every thread that is posted. The thread in question had someone report a few comments, which alerted me to the hate that was being spewed (I encourage people to use the Ignore button if someone is consistently annoying you.) When someone alerts the moderator, one of us checks it out, and if it has broken the
Yahoo guidelines (my boss), we take care of it.
Hope this clears things up. Happy to have you all here as Gamecock fans passionate about talking South Carolina athletics. Any thread that doesn't fit that parameter is subject to be deleted if things get out of hand. Is what it is and oftentimes over my head.
