I've been quiet about alot of things I've seen on here for months, but in the last 3 or so months this site has gotten really bad with various groups of people attacking others and censoring things that in the past have been completely acceptable.
I remember others posting about very similar things happening to them, about suspicious fires that destroyed their collections, about break ins at their places, and other things herp related and not.
Yet when someone who has been shown to POSSIBLY lie about herps in his collection, or pictures or posts about something that the "higher ups" don't like, their posts are closed, or removed from regular members viewing.
The latest example of this is in the thread by BOAS N PYTHONS.

I really have no idea why ANYONE on ssnakess.com would have ANY idea why ANYTHING happened to you. In fact, I don't like the idea of this post insinuating that. If it were not, there is no other reason to post it here.
The thought is simply ludicris.
Nothing personal. This just does NOT belong here for any reason at all.

I know of a few reasons why I personally would post something on here if I was in their situation.
a) I would post on here because everyone on here has seen SOME of the collection they have and there has to be someone on here that would think about stealing herps instead of buying them. Look at the herps that "go missing" from the expos for example. In a group this large, there have to be a few bad apples.
b) I'd post because I'd consider some of the people no here friends and would like them to know what's going on.
c) Perhaps the culprit IS a member or lurker here and someone else heard something suspicious from them and would like to report it.
The fact remains that certain mods are now censoring things that are perfectly fine for "good standing", aka part of the individual mod's little group of friends, members to post.
If you are going to start censoring stuff like this, censor it all.. put in the TOS something like "NO PERSONAL ISSUES, HERP BREEDING, RAISING, CARE, ETC ONLY."
