Do you know anybody who is ALWAYS right ?
Not you, not me, nobody else...
Censorship is always a serious concern. Rules are not Mao Little Red Book and anybody here can question Mods decision. It's a democratic forum isn't it ?
I agree with the rest of the message and won't discuss it |
The Owner of this Forum,and also the Mods has allways right
Open your own Forum,and you can make what you want
Thats all

Good words JonnyB (even though the English isn't exactly correct).
Basically we are all guests in this forum which is controlled by the rules set out and monitored by the moderators. We may question some of their decisions at times but none of has the right to demand how the forum should be. It is how they want it to be. If it's not to our liking then we are free to find somewhere else that meets our requirements. |

Thanks for your comment JB, love the fishes!
Chalky, a good comment and request which I hope any sane person here would make. If there is a doubt about the legality of any post then I hope anyone finding anything dubious would ask the mods to make a decision. We've got to keep this place 'clean' for everyones protection.
Respect and thanks to both of you for your contributions (hopefully many more to come).

I trust every MOD I have the pleasure to be working with, they are all solid members who only have the best interests of the forum and its members at heart. Each and everyone of them deserve more praise for their hard work here, good on you guys, I now how hard it would be if you were not here. |
Thank You sir_darkstar, and other Mods, I understand you keep this place much safer. This world is full of weird, perverted sickos... er, uh, well thanks!!!
I would rather serve as the friend of one tyrant than to be overrun by a democracy of a million plebian slaves. Most people I hear say the word democracy don't even know what the fuck they are talking about.

Honestly I'm a little worried about the phrase "The Mod is always right".
First of all in nearly every board I visited and posted before there were one or two people who like to abuse their powers.
If a discussion is not possible at which end I have a definite and clear answer why stuff I posted is not acceptable then this whole thing here becomes meaningless.
I don't know about you but if I ONLY get an answer like SD posted that he sees the content as inappropriate but refuses to answer on which ground he makes that decision, how am I gonna know what I can post and what I can't.
I consider myself as a serious contributor to this board. I'll try my best to abide the rules, see to it that I only post stuff that has not been posted before (which is why my post count is not that high) and try to help people who ask me for it.
Hence I think the least I deserve would be a clear explanation and not a bully phrase like "My decision. Live with it".
Best, Watcher |

Hi. I'm pretty sure none of the mods or admins here abuse his/her (we have a female mod ) authority.
As mentioned above there was an explanation in that problematic thread violating the of age rule. So it was deleted. That's it.
Nothing to argue about.

there is nothing democratic about this board, and there shouldnt be. The board is owned, yes owned, by one person who uses it to promote his website. And as such he sets the rules.
You will see in my time as a mod here, while my hair turned grey and my belly expanded, I enforced the rules set out by GS. You will also note that every time I deleted a posting I left a copy of the rule that had been breached in red with a red SD so if people had a problem they could contact me.
so back to point 1, yes the mods are always right, they enforce the board rules and no debate can be entered into. Its simplistic, and easy to understand for everyone. Like driving a car, follow the road rules and the cops wil leave you alone. _________________ |

Succinct - clear and to the point. This is not a debating forum - it's a forum to post and share collected works - within the strict guidlines of the forum rules. Rules is rules - they're for breaking - and goodbye post/membership built up respect and work down the plughole - to those who break them.
Mods/admin - aren't always right - except when it comes to abiding by the rules laid down by GS - beejeesus - he owns the site/
bandwidth/and Unkle Tom Cobbley and all. I've been slapped on the wrists - deservedly - and acknowledge the necessity of what is and isn't allowed. If in doubt - don't post it.
I'm still waiting on sorting out my Port 80 (MACuser) to start getting all my stuffup for sharing - still nibbling away at it. That said - give the mods and admins a break - life is tough enough without querying the logic of what they are doing - keeping this forum alive - when other forums have already been closed down due to idiots screwing up the machine ... !
All hail the mods - after all we are all equal in this forum - just some are more equal than others ... !
Respect,

in ANY and ALL forums, mods are the superceding force.... they are expected to make decisions based on their judgement... and their judgement usually isnt unfounded or just pulled out of their ass.... they follow a set of rules and guidelines that pretty much tell them wat to do... there are some situations that require a decision that isnt outlined anywhere and most of the times (99.9%) they handle it the right way without any personal feelings or conflictions... and mods and admins always back up mods and admins... not for the fact that its like a "family" or any kind of bs like that, but because they support each others decisions cause most mods are people just tryin to help.... they're not bullies, or anyone looking for a little power (after all, how powerful can a person feel after banning someone? not that powerful << i lie )
they are volunteers who are accepted into that small circle of moderators because the existing mods saw that defining characteristic in them... im not sure wat that characteristic is, cause i know i dont have it, and somehow im a mod.... |

| As to Holy ****** (the topic of this thread), I originally set the text-replacement feature to alter that term to "I KNOW THIS IS ILLEGAL BUT I DONT GIVE A FUCK", since the poster in question had posted a video of a naked 14 year old, which is typical of that Russian entity`s materials. But then I watered it down, to "THIS AINT LEGAL BUT I DONT GIVE A SHIT." Either way, it speaks not only to the member viewing the person`s post, but speaks as well to the person who was stupid enough to post such material in the first place. |
