You censor worse than /. does. End of discussion.
mattie_p can't prove otherwise, either. Looking back on the log, all I did was give a simple criticism. Others complain worse and you don't ban them from the IRC.
Welcome to Soylent - where if you're not a profitable poster, you're just a hindrance, per mattie_p.

Khyber, I asked you to settle down several times on IRC. You did not. Shoot me an email and we can talk. ~mattie_p @ soylentnews . org

Nah, you censor, so there's nothing to talk about.
Censorship is bad, thus you are bad.

you seriously got a ban? Apparently I was right to stay away from the private server, no independence and even censorship... it really doesn't sound like spam

"you seriously got a ban? "
Yep.
"Apparently I was right to stay away from the private server"
Yep. We should probably start leaving the site for another one, as well. The censorship and lacking independence is pretty much unacceptable from a 'community.'

Do spend a few minutes to get the details before you make a judgement. You can read the chat transcript yourself http://logs.sylnt.us/%23soylent/2014-03-13.html#22 :33:39 [sylnt.us]

It's still plain and simple censorship, no matter which way you try to reason yourself out of it.

The owners/operators of this site and IRC (and any other website that allows for commenting or IRC) have the right to control the commentary and participation. There is NO guarantee explicit or implied that any comments will be published or that anyone's participation will be guaranteed. This is not the US government or any other and therefor you do NOT have first amendment protection. If you don't like it, too bad, start your own website or IRC and exercise your childish ranting there.

"The owners/operators of this site and IRC (and any other website that allows for commenting or IRC) have the right to control the commentary and participation."
And I reserve the right to call them out for what they are. If your skin is that thin then this community will not last, that's pretty much guaranteed.
And if you can't take drunk ranting, your skin is beyond thin and you should probably just get off of the internet.
I notice the site mods and IRC mods have gone silent. Not a surprise. The truth hurts, doesn't it, boys?

You, my friend, can take your drunk ranting any place you like. I personally am not interested. (also not protected free speech)
I would suppose they don't believe it is worth their time to argue with a drunk ranter and I agree.

Then I guess they don't need to find out about the nice vulnerabilities I've found while playing with the dev VM, since they don't want to talk to me.
Hint: Environment.pm
Whomever figures out the exploit like I have can just destroy the site.
Now to go find someone willing to pay for that information.

Khyber, you were kick/banned from IRC for being generally disruptive. I understand you were frustrated from being kicked, but you were warned repeatedly to calm down. This ban only lasted a few days or so and you can now log in. Your claims of censorship are wildly inaccurate (notice you can post to the site and moderate).
What is your goal here? You've spent time contributing to the site, clearly you think it has merit. Now all it seems you care to do is to bring it down, spread mis-information, and make threats. Is this all some sort of "revenge" because you were kicked out temporarily from an chatroom?

" This ban only lasted a few days or so and you can now log in. Your claims of censorship are wildly inaccurate (notice you can post to the site and moderate)."
My censorship complaint is only about IRC, not the site.
"What is your goal here?"
To point out how thin your skin is. Generally disruptive? There's an /ignore feature for that, you know. Did the entire chat forget about that, or do you just have itchy trigger fingers after all the drama with Barrabas still?
"You've spent time contributing to the site"
And that's not likely to happen ever again. You guys are showed your true colors. All it takes is a little push and you all go wide-open on the throttle.
"Now all it seems you care to do is to bring it down, spread mis-information, and make threats."
You guys showed very quickly and easily how readily you're willing to unequally treat others. Poutine just gets karma-- but I get banned, and Poutine's trolling ALL THE TIME. Way to set an example. I knew it was going to happen and you proved me right.
"spread mis-information"
Sorry, censorship is censorship is censorship. You can try to deflect from it, but the fact is, your unequal treatment amounts to exactly that. There's no mis-information here, at all.
"Is this all some sort of "revenge" because you were kicked out temporarily from an chatroom?"
No, this entire thing was a troll to get you to show your true colors and start putting cracks in the facade hiding your hypocrisy after the Barrabas incident.
And you've cracked admirably.
