Really? Honestly I think I would find a forum moderated by you well worth visiting and depending on how much time you put into it, might be much better than LW.
I think we probably agree on 90% of posts that should be down voted but aren’t.

Almost certainly and likewise probably more agreement than between randomly selected individuals. The problem comes if any part of that 10% happens to include things that I am strongly averse to but which you consider ok and use. I wouldn’t expect you to hang around if I started banning your comments—I certainly wouldn’t take that kind of treatment from anyone (unless I was getting paid well).
I never understood people who get all offended and scream censorship if one or two of their posts get moderated while the vast majority are let through. If however you’d feel that a quarter or a third of my comments where objectionable I wouldn’t bother commenting any more, though I might keep reading.

I wouldn’t accept too many more than, say, two or three a year that I reflectively endorsed even after judgement. But I wouldn’t call it censorship. It’s some guy with power exercising it with either (subjectively) poor judgement or personal opposition to me. It’s not something I prefer to accept but I’m not going to abuse the word ‘censorship’.
