Within the T&C, which covers civilized conduct and legality, you have a lot of power over the content of this website. But if you choose to believe that you dont, I wont argue with you.

Yes. We were approached by MSNBC to display these ads. Do you see any issue with that?

An interesting side note... we recently lost a significant advertising initiative with the History Channel due to the content of a thread displayed on our home page they felt was inappropriate. They would have reconsidered if we just removed it from our home page... but I can't and we wouldn't.

also it's insane for you to DENY THE FACT that the ATS members do not own the site, and therefore have 0 say

I don't see the problem here. If you are so against the way this site is run, you know where the door is. No one is forcing you to be here.

Please let us be the intelligent adults that we are and let us speak our minds without fear of fallout. If a thread needs to be roped in or a member needs some heavy mod intervention by all means jump in but keep the thread open so we can at least feel that our thoughts count and we are not just post counts.
The problem is that the balance between allowing civil discussion and proper mod intervention ("roping-in") is very hard to keep, well....balanced. People do have agendas. Perception of "what's really going on here" is going to vary from member to member (including mods). I trust that a member such as yourself would approach it in a mature, open-minded, and civil manner, and I also trust that others won't.
I know that question was put forth to SO, but I thought I'd throw in my two pesos.
Peace
The posts function will be re-coded and return
in the near future...
