People have such funny ideas about censorship in the private sphere.

Being told "we don't want to see that here" because of community standards is not censorship. It's telling you the community has decided it doesn't want whatever it is you're trying to communicate.

If you're free to find a different venue for whatever has been rejected, you are not censored. Your work was *rejected* by a specific group. Go look for a receptive audience elsewhere and stop crying censorship.

(To be absolutely clear, I'm only talking about private groups of freely associating people who have agreed to certain behavior that have no reach beyond their own community.)
