BeWelcome is quite an open and transparent organization compared to CouchSurfing and Hospitality Club but one could say even here there are cases of censorship in BeWelcome.

Deletions of posts

In Mars 2013, cross posted invitations to seek the duck (a toulousan event promoting BW) were deleted by jsfan. This opened a discussion about moderation.

Banning of members

In December 2012, Tim Loal (notorious -some would say infamous- for beeing vocal about the management of BW) was banned from the forums for 1 year. A protest group FREE TIM NOW ! was created.
