The board needs free speech but it also needs justice and accountability for bad actions
-
We can't have larpers trying to capture the board to sell their con (B/Babyfist/MJ12).

Spamming is also the opposite of free speech in that it drowns out people's voices.
Since BV came in his style of moderation has cleared the garbage on the board substantially. So clearly the ban hammer is effective.
I also have not seen a genuine removal of free speech with one exception. Being able to call out the muh joo shills.
I think BV has brought us a better balanced board and those whining right now don't like it because they don't like to be accountable for their actions.
