No Free Speech

It seemed that another "executive decision" has been made by Xenonetix that free speech is no longer allowed in Everybody Edits.

Early Sunday morning I was banned by Zoey2070 for "Advertising": https://imgur.com/SOngqYh

The level in question is the one Kira posted about here: https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewt … 31965&p=60. Despite the fact that the level had only two quotes from the Bible (1 Peter 2:7-8; Romans 3:4), neither of which have any hate speech whatsoever, apparently any Bible verses at all are now seen as "advertising" and will get you banned.

I attempted to discuss this with Xenonetix, and this is the response: https://imgur.com/T2akjNn

As you can see, we are no longer allowed to post anything we believe on any signs, nor are we allowed to say anything we believe to anyone, even in our own levels, or we will be banned for "advertising". According to him, we are "able" to answer questions if they are addressed specifically to us, and ONLY in the chat, but then again...: https://imgur.com/RUvtp6x

Of course, if they don't like your answers, or if too many questions are asked at once, then the room will be killed and you'll be banned for "not keeping a nice atmosphere": https://imgur.com/nt6NG44

And, if you try to give evidence to support any unjustified ban, they'll just ignore you, because only seeing it from their side matters: https://imgur.com/pReCQGo

So, in conclusion:
1) Putting a sign on any level that states your belief is a bannable offense for "advertising".
2) Saying what you believe to anyone in any level is a bannable offense for "advertising".
3) Answering direct questions about what you believe will only be allowed if you didn't start the conversation, it isn't considered "debating", they like the answers you give, and if too many people don't ask questions at once; otherwise, it's a bannable offense for "not keeping a nice atmosphere".
4) Any attempt to give proof that you were wrongfully banned will be ignored.
5) These choices were made solely by the owner of Everybody Edits with no discussion among the staff or community, and without any clear acknowledgement in the Terms and Conditions.

Re: No Free Speech

With the subtext of your offensive beliefs (that the Bible states all homosexuals are sinners and should be treated as enemies), I think they were doing everyone a favor.

http://everybodyedits.com/rules

discriminates other people based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs, age, sexuality, or anything else.

advertises external content (including, but not limited to: products, subscriptions, affiliations, and associations).

(the rules above apply to all content you submit to EE including chats, sign text and even blocks)

You were told multiple times that if you created a world with religious content again, you'd be banned. Then, you continued to do so, so you got banned, like you were explicitly told you would be.

EE is a privately owned game. The concept of "free speech" applies to the government punishing you for this type of thing. Everybody Edits is not a government entity, and has no obligation to have "free speech".

Re: No Free Speech

Everybody Edits is a privately owned game. It doesn't have free speech. Can't you shut the **** up by now?
