Using specific words now gets you flagged. That doesn't seem like a soft step towards censorship to you?

Might be a step in that direction, but I can still read a flagged post if I choose. Slippery slope, I guess.

I'm not sure I understand the logic to begin with. I would think that if you could get in trouble for the content of a particular message, but it's OK to be goofing off reading "safe" stuff? Aren't they paying people to be working on company stuff when they're at work?

I view it as a pretext to slowly implement and normalize censorship on the site. It has been over 4 years and there were never any complaints. And you are exactly right, people are at work and it is their own fault if they click on wrong think posts while at work

Thanks for responding; I was too pissed someone couldn't see the slippery slope and decided instead of flaming, to not reply
