Push 0 #1 July 2, 2003 First of all, I'm not bitching or complaining. Anyway, my gf just made a post, in jest, which was deleted 5 minutes after she posted it. As far as I could tell, the post violated none of the four rules of the board, which are: a) No personal attacks. b) No paedophilia. c) No advertising. d) Stick to the topic. I recall a few of the sodomy threads also being erased. My question is, what was the violation? I'm not arguing with the moderators decision, but I would like to know what led to that decision so that I do not make another post that will have to be erased.

Push 0 #3 July 2, 2003 The thing is, it was a joke. I don't think Sangiro would appreciate jokes being posted in the classifieds. Was that why it was erased? -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

quade 4 #6 July 2, 2003 I can't say for sure because I don't think I know which thread you're talking about, but sometimes it's difficult to tel if something is in jest or a true attack. Also, somethings are just inflammatory and strike the moderators as just stepping over the line sometimes.

Push 0 #8 July 2, 2003 Don't worry, we (me and Lana) understand that Still, if a thread you start gets erased, it's nice to know what happened. Besides, after the recent sodomy fiascos, now that I think about it it's easy to understand why the moderators would consider a thread like that potentially inflammatory.

OK, if you are in the military, you Serve the president. You may not criticize him. He is your commander in chief. It's against the rules. However, I am not in the military, I am just a voter. Therefore, the President Serves me. The country is not a dictatorship. (yet) I am going to exercise my 1st amendment right to speak freely when I believe the Pres does something dumb. Its my patriotic duty. BTW. Thanks for being nice. edited to add: I also agree with your argument though on the inconsistancy of the deletions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #21 July 2, 2003 Well, I have it on pretty good authority that President Bush has better things to do than pick fights on dz.com, with . . . uh . . . yahoos . . . like me.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #22 July 3, 2003 QuoteOh yeah, definitely. As long as people don't start shouting and stomping their feet. If a moderator puts their foot down, that's the end of the story. Besides being an incredible waste of one person's PERSONAL bandwidth, a lot of the current threads are just fucking repulsive and mindless. I have been given the levity to act with command authority and dump/edit/move stuff as I see fit. You cannot win when you are picking fights with us or any other person on these forums, I promise you that. That said, we mostly exercise a great deal of restraint. These days, though, we seem to be very busy. Just stop and think what kind of shit you may be starting when you start some of these threads. Get singled out as a rabble rouser here and we will absolutely baniish you from the site. Log on as a newly created screen name and we will surely pick you right back out, then banish your IP. That is not the intent of this website, so why even push it? Once again, everyone of us "greenies" are real people just tasked with maintaining some semblance of order. I would much rather be like the Maytag Repairman. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
