Censorship

Hi guys

I would like to discuss an issue here on this site. Maybe I do not understand something correctly, but it seriously bothers me.

The issue I currently have is censorship. I've posted around 4 comments to an addon, which is quite a bit suspicious to say the least (i guess some of you already came across that addon). I've posted my doubts and brought up technical facts, which might be interesting for other users, as the addon might be a huge security thread (containing an exe and manipulating LUA code on the fly). Yet, all my comments are getting deleted pretty fast. As I never deleted any comments so far, I'm not aware if the author can directly delete a comment or if some admin interaction is involved.

Anyway, I think it is pretty concerning when such information, technical facts and warnings can easily be removed from an addon. Imho i consider this censorship and in this case it might even put users at risk who otherwise would have been more careful.
