Is moderation in forums violating Americans' right to free speech?
I'm an admin for a game forum that has some specific rules. We don't permit profanity, spamming or in-game advertising except in certain areas (a designated thread and their blog).
Every now and then we'll get someone complaining that we are violating their right to free speech. I admit I find this very odd as I'm not taking away their right to say what they want, just one medium in which to say it.
I would like to know if there is a different opinion in the States and also if it makes a difference who owns the game or where the server is.
