But as far as what I quoted goes - so.the.fck.what.
Really - if a forum doesn't run to your standards - go start one of your own. See how far you can take it.
Think about it - EVERY SINGLE FUDGING FORUM EVERYWHERE is going to have a set of folks that disagree with how it is run. You find things to disagree with at that particular forum. So.the.fck.what. Go post someplace else where your 'style' of posting is accepted.
It's really just that simple.
Coming to some other form to 'make you case' really doesn't do anything - since, by definition, you 'case' is going to be heavily biased by you. How the fck are we supposed to just jump aboard your personal fan-train just because 'you say so'?
Think about it...
It's nothing personal. I'm not flaming you. Or trolling you. Just pointing out what to me is an obvious truth.

When truth and freedom oppressed for interests or enjoyment of small group.

You don't like how a particular internet forum is moderated. Get over it. Go somewhere else to post.
Trying to make a non-existent "Federal case' out of your problem isn't going to go anywhere.
And wtf is this 'truth and freedom oppressed for interests or enjoyment of small group' business?
You're talking about a privately run forum by a private company.
Freedom and oppression are citizen/governmental issues. Has ZILCH to do with how a business wants to run their on forums.
TBH, IME, when someone is talking like you do - it means they're between 12 and 15 years old - and haven't yet learned all the above; and think they're personally entitled to tell someone else how to run their shit. Not saying that's the case for you (because how would I know) - just relaying my experience.
As usual, the <i>relevant xkcd</i>..

Complaining about it to the higher-ups is pointless, though, since they're the ones who came up with the weirdly restrictive forum rules in the first place. The mods just enforce them.
When was that? If it was before the second game released, there's a good chance whoever it was isn't even there anymore.
Of course the solution for the OP is simple. Just register with a different nickname and continue. No shame about that. Appealing to higher authorities only very seldomly changes anything.

Well technically, private companies can stop free speech. If the user agreement / TOS we tick but don't read when registering identifies it as a free speech site and to what extent, they are liable and obligated to hold it up to that extent.
Censorship can be done from non governmental bodies as well, obviously.
''Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.'' -Wiki fucking pedia

Actually, I feel for you TinyE. having all those arms must be a lot to bare. The next best thing to coffee is seeing one of your latest quips.
hopefully not the dorky forum kids who have nothing better to do with their time.
