I don't know where you're getting that from because the internet is not The United States. Any typical forum will have rules and stuff saying what you can and can't do. If you break these rules, it's very normal to get kicked out of the forums. Nothing political about that. It's only recently some internet trolls have decided to brand it "censorship" cause "they banned me for saying vile shit!!" isn't something that garners sympathy, is it?
On a very milquetoast forum, linking to a mod that removes "unhistorical characters", renames the spelling of a city to one that an aggressor nation is forcing on it, and removing gay dating options, etc... well, sorry to say it but YOU BROKE RULES banning among other things: racism, inciting genocide, homophobia - not to mention the classic "Don't Be A Dick".
Just stop bringing The First Amendment to the internet. Its jurisdiction starts at the US border with Canada and ends at the US border with Mexico, and it only means that the US government (specifically the US government) can't stop you from speaking out your mind *with exceptions*. It does not protect you from breaking forum rules and codes of conduct online and being shown the door by the moderators and community (see, they're not the US government) as a consequence.
