Suggest a forum- this one sucks

It appears if people express an opinion and discuss with others the way they view the world as a diagnosed individual.

Heavy handed moderation locks a thread which has had calm discussion and has continued with respectful disagreement.

It strikes me that as long as your dependant, helpless and see this forum as unquestionable authority- that is what forum mods want.

Also how can anyone who isn't diagnosed really connect with how we see the world?

Is there a decent forum where people can discuss adult topics without a Moderator who would fit in well working for the chinese government locking and moderating it?

  • Hi there,
     
    As you are probably aware, this community is funded by charity, and operated partly through the goodwill of volunteers. As such, we cannot moderate every possible discussion.
     
    We are not in the business of censoring people's opinions. However, it is important for users to understand the difference between free speech and a free platform. Threads which have nothing to do with autistic spectrum disorders, or which do not provide material for discussion, may be closed simply to keep things manageable. If we judge that a thread has become excessively confrontational, or is being used as a means to spread intolerance or prejudice, we will close it. All users agree to our rules when they join the forum. Obeying these rules is part of participating here.
     
    There are other forums with different rules and different emphases, and some discussions may be better suited to those. There is, of course, no reason not to have similar discussions in several forums, as users' responses may be quite different.
     
    As a starter, have you looked at Wrong Planet?
     
    Best wishes,
