How is this site free speech?

Hello. I was using backlogged before but they remove my comment. How is it in this site?

Just in case you are not knowing the basics and not a troll:

Terms of Service | Grouvee Every website has such rules, read them, so you know what is allowed and what not. I am near my 60s and I have yet to be banned from a website and I started to write on forums when they were a new thing and the router made loud noises.

You might also want to read about the meaning of “freedom of speech”, because if you would know what the term means you would not ask about it on a privatly owned website.
A good starting point: Freedom of speech - Wikipedia

And yes occasionally people get banned and comments deleted and if it isn’t for spam it is mostly because of this part:

may be deemed generally offensive to the site community, including blatant expressions of bigotry, prejudice, racism, hatred or profanity

So just don’t.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and i am not a troll. İ just want to write shit post reviews is it ban couse or not? Do you know it?

I guess it depends on the definition of “shit post.” I guess we don’t really see a lot of it? But as long as you’re not antagonizing anyone or being maliciously obnoxious, no one will delete or censor your posts.

You can read the front page and see what people write. Lurking is a good method to see if what you want to write would fit in or rather not. This site has a huge spectrum of what people write about games and how they rate them. It is usually seen as valid if it isn’t offensive.

This site is definitely more left leaning and inclusive and complaining about “woke” usually gets a stern warning that we don’t do that here, same reaction telling people why their opinion about a game is wrong - if it’s not an inside joke between people who know each other for years.

Shit posting can mean something that is fine or absolutely not - it is not a scientific term - every community has their special kind of shit posting that fits and the one that doesn’t fit and just does not get much reaction and the one that will get you warned / kicked out.

I would not start with shit posting if I were new but start with somewhat safer posts and comments and see how it goes. I think that is a good advice for any group you want to engage with, online or in RL.
