As per the previous thread entitled 'Censorship', I have also been notified about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=460369 being in jail.
Thing is, I have absolutely no idea why. Because it got 'jailed' sometime overnight.
Now the previous answer about 'jail' being inaccessible was to avoid porn and spam being reviewed. But I don't see why anything else - e.g. flames etc. should be lumped in the same category.
What are we trying to hide? Why is it deemed insufficient to lock a thread? If I've been insulted, then I believe I have the right to see it - after all, plenty of other users DID see it, before it was jailed.
I'm not sure that censoring/hiding that kind of thread/posts is necessarily good - it smacks of sanitising...
