Haha, perhaps the bias "Marketwatch" censorship site should be John Stewart's next target.

"MW is violating the fundamental justice of the US, the right to be informed of that which you are accused, the right to confront your accuser, no annomous accusers, freedom of political speech. I remember in the past there were many nasty anti-Bush posts, NONE got censored. Now some posts are pointing out the weaknesses of Obama's policies and BOOM, they are censored.
In the past there was true hatred of Bush in the posts. Today, I haven't seen one hatred post aimed at Obama.
MW has its chance to define itself here: Is it a liberal pawn of the administration? or is it a responsible financial news reporting organization independent of political pressures? MW has precipitated this question, what is the answer?"

PAretiree bows out
PAretiree :
I’ve given a good deal of thought and have decided for the time being to cease my active involvement with the MarketWatch board.
Along with many others, I’ve been displeased with heavy handed and oppressive administrative practices that include indiscriminate censorship and the abusive use of the thumbs down feature to apply administrative pressure on members.
Sadly, I’ve seen the best and the brightest members banned, resign or move to “topic specific” sub discussion groups. Over the past several months, the main MW discussion board has suffered greatly and MW’s administration, while admitting they were aware of abuses and problems, has done nothing.
This is SAD, since I had previously regarded MW as the best financial discussion board on the Internet.
Best of luck with your investments,
PAretiree

QuestionEverything is blackballed
QuestionEverything
"I was deleted without notice and I am not allowed to reregister (even under another email address). Must have been the threat to contact their advertisers that has me blackballed."
Haha, to all readers,
As indicated in other posts the MW admin is a pathological liar carrying out a personal hate campaign. To the MW admin "QuestionEverything" is just another deleted user that did not matter. Soon the arrogant MW admin will realize the constitution > them.

stopthehandouts and G-G on censorship
stopthehandouts :
G-G, a fellow poster and friend, wanted me to share this:
The following contribution to the MarketWatch Community was removed due to inappropriate content. Please be respectful and use the Community features in accordance with our Guidelines posted here:http://community.marketwatch.com/faq#guidelinesRegards,MarketWatch-Admin
"First!!OBOTS, welcome!
(Thumbs DOWN reveals the OBOT, in sentiment and in belief).
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME... CENSORSHIP LIKE THIS on Market Watch Forums?
Here is MW answer: Please share this! They prove their bias here...
"G-G, Our current guidelines states that, "Community members are asked to work closely with MarketWatch to ensure that a high standard of respectful communication is observed." Calling Community members who support Obama names is hardly respectful. And seriously, do you expect me to give my name to someone who sports a Charlie Chaplain mustache?
Cheers-
"Email between G-G and myself:
This forum, this whole site has been compromised. There are employees working for MW now that are in the Obama camp and are making sure that nothing bad is said about Obama and his cronies (just as they are now scrubbing Wikipedia of anything less than complimentary about Obama and the Democrats). Because politics is so closely linked to the economy, this kind of censorship nullifies MW as anything credible. This reminds me, historically, of the Stalin purges. MW has become an "organ of the state" - therefore MW is irrelevant to any free discourse or conversation. My statements were not offensive - they were political - and that has been banned. I expect I will be booted off shortly. And so it begins....
I couldn't agree more with G-G
