I don't see any change in the moderation here so far. Based on the bits remaining in haywirepc's moderated post, it sounds like he was blatantly trolling. There are plenty of other posts with content that's critical/negative of the new ownership that remain unchanged, which contradicts the claims that "the censorship has begun."
In the meantime, the ads have been removed. That's very welcome because, before the ownership change I started getting the occasional virus/malware warning when visiting this site. I have no doubt that this malware was being injected via the ads. Had that continued then I would probably have stopped visiting this site.
