For what it's worth, my experience as an outside observer of the moderation on both versions of kia2 is they do a lot of CYA style post removals for things that could be uncharitably considered incitement. But they appear to be very light on the ban hammer, even with the trolls, grifters and spammy weirdos. Of course it's hard to say really who's been banned, but some familiar faces have been around for a long time despite a somewhat antagonistic relationship with mod(s).

As for the post removal, it's kind of a pain but pretty much nothing is off limits with a little care for the phrasing, which is always good practice on a public forum anyway. Posting like you expect it to be read by a cop and used out-of-context against you in court one day is a good contingency if you're in the habit of opposing big brother authoritarians. For example I bet if you'd posted or reposted the same article with something like "It's finally happening" instead of "we did it" in the title, it wouldn't have been removed as potentially accidentally incriminating.
