Just now I saw this post in one of the forums.

"DentonTD #248
PPP, I have to agree with you kind sir. I do not see any threat."

But yet a member (@petitbonom) was wrongfully muted - his free speech rights taken away - by misuse of admin power.
This is Completely different from mild member options like the right to limit who can post in a member's own forum that he or she has made.

This club - Open Ideas - was made precisely to counter the wrongful use of admin mute buttons in the corrupt Ideas Room club.
Mike the owner of Open Ideas has made that clear more than once.
Should petitbonom's right to free speech and his club membership be in limbo because an admin acted on a whim and betrayed the trust placed in him?
Of course not!
That admin should have waited to consult with Mike first - even though the chances that petitbonom's post would have been found to be 'inadmissible' were about zero percent.
Did that admin go ahead with his whim because he knew Mike wasn't around?
Looks like it.
And he has quit the club too. So he's 'waiting' now.
As for me - Mike trusts us to run the club when he's not here.
We would allow that misuse of power for a heartbeat?
Tremendo has even used the phrase 'wait for group owner'.
Exactly what he failed to do.
But is doing now perhaps.

There's also been an attempt to link misuse of admin buttons like misuse of admin delete buttons - to peaceful use of member options. Member options that do not silence any member in the club. Member options that mean that no forum has to be at the mercy of somebody who would destroy it.
And which are a member's only defense of his or her forums.
