before I fall in front of the moderators mighty ban button

This is what it comes down to in my view and experience. I was personally beginning to find one or two others with a spirit of inspiration for true living, the seed of action on this forum. Some began to speak out something. Then all threads deleted and me and others banned and my pm banned. Luckily my ban was a break. A break from being naughty or something....I didn't think I was naughty just realistic as I could be.
This announcement was a result of one or two things. People leaving in disgust because of what I saw as new energy of the forum which seemed to conflict with the original standard and upset people the direction it was going in (which I found was getting more relevant to the actual description of the forums purpose) and others starting to rebel because of realizing censorship of this true direction.
I don't want to cause any fuss but that's how I see it. You always find one or two level headed people on these kinds of forums. When they start speaking together it's seen as dissent. They are like a needle in a haystack.
If I get banned or moderated for saying it, hey what can I say got to make my own forum to be on level playing field.
Most of the stuff posted doesn't interest me. I've found out General discussion is closely guarded because subjects that did interest me were more or less wiped clean. "cleaning the forum up".
It depends how you clean it up that determines it's direction. You can use the guidelines and justify but it all depends on who does the interpretation not on the guidelines themself that have the power to moderate.
