:"I want to respond to Sergio's comment on BeWelcome because I don't want anyone to be surprised in the future. The fact that we have allowed profiles to point to BeWelcome should not be taken as an indication that it's okay. It's simply not okay. Will we eventually take action on this as a form of commercial interest? Yes, I think it's likely we will. When that time comes, I will make an announcement here first. Ambs need to decide if they are here to work together and make CS better or if they want to create a new community. We simply can't have CS Ambassadors conducting BeWelcome's business on the CS web site."

One member's response:
:Saying that talking about BeWelcome will not be tolerated is saying there will be censorship.
:Removing people's posts is censorship.
:Removing the ability for people to post on the CS Facebook page is censorship.
:Removing critical, outspoken members looks like censorship. Not talking about won't make it go away, it just builds resentment and mistrust.
