The only censorship I've observed on this forum is removal of the most obviously intolerable stuff - spam links, adult links, etc.
And posts are routinely edited to remove personal information (phone numbers, account numbers, etc) whenever they're seen, of course. And threads are often demoted to the Lounge once they've drifted beyond usefulness. And I've seen a few obnoxious "people" (that is, their accounts and posts) mysteriously vanish, apparently banned and blacklisted forever, after repeated warnings about nasty unsocial behaviours.
And the kludgy forum software sometimes "loses" posts. Usually because repeated edits or bad html syntax triggers the spam filters.
But otherwise there's no censorship. You can speak freely and criticize PM or praise PM's competitors as you like - provided you're civil, you're contributing something useful to the PM Community, and you desist when asked.
The Oracles don't seem to really enjoy the chore of keeping bad children in line. But they will take necessary action when necessary action is the better course.
