This is a false analogy. You are suggesting the removal of posts that are "off topic." But if the diarrhea was topical it would be a completely different situation. Like, what if that was a symptom of Covid v. 3.0 (Sars was v. 1.0) and not discussing it was essential to the exposure of the evil? Then censoring the important information about diarrhea would be evil and possibly deadly (murderous) on a massive scale.
In this case, we are talking about DEWs. They are topical to Q (clearly). But DEWs have been censored repeatedly with legitimate research and evidence.
I keep trying to help people understand that CENSORSHIP is not the same thing as "disagreeing with," or "thinking we should be focused on something else right now," etc. CENSORSHIP (in this case) IS ELIMINATING TOPICAL INFORMATION FROM INVESTIGATING RESEARCHERS.
I keep saying this, and the proponents of censorship keep ignoring it (this is not the first time this has come up, including with mods). I'm talking about TOPICAL, LEGITIMATE information and discussions, not "stuff that doesn't belong here." Unfortunately, if there is a whimsical power to determine "what is appropriate" it can be abused (we see that regarding censorship all the time in the news; see "hate speech"). That abuse has happened many, many times here.
The problem though was that C5 pretended to be fully blue-pilled about these topics in private conversation. Although, on the other hand he has no way of knowing for sure who is a shill and who isn't. He wanted to play it safe even though it meant he would alienate all the best researchers on the site by doing so....I brought this up with the mods multiple times. I said something like: How are you not banning flat earth tards/shills but telling everyone DEW's do not exist when it is literally on Lockheed Martin's website?. Then mentioned how most stickies used to get 400 to 500 updoots before mods went full retard. Then again maybe half of those were bots that they had banned during that time....Only the mods really know and they have done an amazing Job in many many ways....If you don't believe me just look at the other .win sites.
TLDR, dunno what to tell you. Only thing I’ve had removed was on “chemtrails”, but which was later allowed, as were DEWs. In both cases, valid research or not, there isn’t exactly a high level of responsive or preventative action that can be taken on either subject, so I’m not sure what the actual impacts are. For whatever it’s worth, there’s also no “free speech” in the military, which is kinda how I see our position, Digital Soldier, nor are the forum mods Congress, nor are they excessively censorial. It’s tended to be pretty clear guardrails set around specific topics from what I’ve seen.
If they start removing actionable research on how to be freer and healthier and more righteous, or of decodes or major habbenings, as opposed to simply being aware of certain things, by all means, hammer that alarm bell, but by what I’ve seen, we’ve lost exponentially more, and much more important work, from disgruntled posters who’ve reacted by fully censoring themselves, voluntarily. 😞

Unfortunately, every case of diarrhea (jet screamers) that I've ever had was always pretty deep. I could only wish that it was topical.
That was disgusting and... topical.
I had a reply written on this but lost it.
