When I answered questions about Blender on another thread, I was threatened by the moderator to be removed if I didn’t stop mentioning Blender

Why do all my posts keep getting censored?

Hi Chipp, While I can’t lay claim to any other flags, I was the one that pulled your 35-second old post. That post was in a 2-year-old topic about SketchUp Make and had nothing to do with that topic and read like a spam advertisement. As you can imagine, there are a lot of “official eyeballs” on the forum right now, so I just happened to be around when that popped up. I haven’t actively sought any of your additional posts, nor is anyone actively looking for topics to censor. That being said, I …

Same SketchUp you love, a new way to buy

@chippwalters , your posts are being flagged by the community for being off-topic and pushing your non-SketchUp offerings. Not censored by Trimble… the community… Members reading these posts are the ones flagging what you are writing.

These threads?

So that’s my first time being flagged. I mean I get it, this started as a Blender convo and it definitely has diverged from that.

I did feel like Chips comments about being censored were worth responding too as they are the reason this thread even exists. The SU team is NOT censoring Blender comments (the community is) and this post got flagged by the same community The point here was to show that SU has made a good faith effort NOT to censor talk of other CAD software.

Let’s get back to the Blender conversation, shall we. Sorry for veering off topic.
