darkemeraldsI was all set to be pissed off at TWoP. Last coupla days, there's been some uncharacteristic moderator interference, deleting or editing posts because they were "offensive." I first noticed it here in the Smallville Newbie thread.
Next, I caught a Glark deletion of a Pixel Challenge entry because it wasn't office-appropriate. New rule, Glark said. Made up on the spot. PC entries are to be PG-13, basically, and if they're racier than that, links only, no posted images.
Since when are Pixel Challenges on TWoP ever office-appropriate? Since when is Television Without Pity also Without Naughty Words? Without Raunch? Without Balls?
Apparently, since the election.
Because then I saw this. Now I feel sure that TWoP is under pressure from its overlords to toe the "decency" line in accordance with a national trend of censorship.
Scary, huh?
