"ModDB isn't a goverment, it has every right to "violate freedom of speech" without actually doing so."
I totally agree. If you read my argument again, you'll notice that I only take issue with the premise they used to justify removing the mod. As I've stated before, if the mod had violated a law or a rule in the TOS, I'd be right up there with you guys voicing my support. However, this mod didn't do any of those things. Was this mod an exercise to see how far limits could be pushed? Perhaps. But now that it's removed, what are the limits? Have we figured them out? What justification will be used to determine what is off-limits in regards to hosting stuff on ModDB? These are questions I have right now.
"Point in question: If I were just to post "N***er N***er N***er" my post would get removed because I'd just be being offensive for the sake of offending people... that mod is no different."
It would get removed because you are in direct violation of the 'Terms of Use' for ModDB. I quote from it: 'As a guideline any post that contains (but is not limited to) any of the following will be subject to remedial action by the moderators... comments of a bigotry nature (derogatory towards race, religion, gender or sexual preference)'
It doesn't look like this mod violates anything in the TOU.
