I originally planned waiting for the admins answers in order not to state redundant points, however this very point is one among many of your assumptions that are not basing on facts.
The whole Kyuubey debacle on Madoka's forum wasn't any problem to begin with when people were essentially talking -about him-.
However, the discussions quickly derailed over time when few members keep arguing about such matters to the points things have gone personal and completely cycling. The discussions themselves literally mutated into bikering jousts instead of actual discussion of the topic, which is the very reason why we took actions, so mistakes of the past wouldn't occur again.
There is no censorship here, since we had no problem with discussions regarding the said character, which was on topic (albeit character thread would have been more appropriate). However, the problem went beyond such simple topic, and went to a lot of ad hominem and other remarks being thrown at members instead of keeping a proper discussion flow. Those points weren't only based on the premise of "not agreeing with each other", but were considered disruptive and not constructive for the discussion at hand, which is covered by our forum rules by the way.
Point is obvious when we see people discussing normally about Kyuubey in general after the debacle, be it on episode thread and character thread. And speaking of which, we generally suggested people to redirect their discussion about this character to its -own established- thread so things wouldn't be redundant and more focused.
You made a very gross generalization that we censored the whole discussions, despite we intervened only when the situation went out of hand (to the point a lot of people reported us their discontent in how the discussions were derailed into back then).
