Banned for criticizing Bytro?

Hello, I noticed that a few users, namely @HenrikSchreiber, @vonlettowvorbeck, and @WilhelmSchultz have been banned from the forum. All three of these users had something in common: they were all outspoken critics of Bytro’s recent updates, particularly “Resources Reforged”. Does this classify censorship of opposing views? Is Bytro trying to shut down people who criticize their updates?
