I got a call from a friend who had is information blocked, deleted, banned from QRZ. Why? Because he gave an honest observation in his profile and it offended some moderator. If you got here from my QRZ bio, you read the "Rules" and they are set up such that you could really be banned for posting pretty much anything that the powers that be on QRZ.com find offensive.

Some of this seems logical, some a bit odd, and some makes me wonder who thought it would ever be a problem?
How about the one about, "No content which advocates against any group or individual will be permitted."? What does that mean? If I post support for a political candidate is that advocating against all other groups and prohibited? What about all the groups on QRZ that are against one net or another?
I really wish another venue was available...
