Because I come here for ecomodding tips, tricks, and ideas, not for political discussions embedded in an ecomodding subsection. If you want to attach a different meaning to it, be my guest.

Authoritarians and dictators love draconian measures that curtail freedom. So do Nanny Statists.
You do understand this is a privately run forum, right? The moderators already censor the site, and have the right to do so anytime and in any way they choose. They also have the right to ban any member for any reason (or even for no reason). Don't like it, then you have the freedom to leave. Again, if you want to attach a different meaning to it, you are free to do so.
