Anyone noticing the increase in new, aimless threads?

I understand what you are saying but that’s just it. I didn’t attack the guy/girl personally. I just said that it was obviously a tree and the post was a "bunch of crap”. I wrote the same way I am righting now. Or at least that’s how I remember it. I was surprised that my post was deleted. It said extreme something or other. I didn’t agree.

Have you been inside my head? You have the same problem I do, your a "bull" fighter. You smell bs and your on it like a cat on a junebug. I went to the post and looked. too stupid to comment on. You seem to also have your "self censor" button and diplomatic button disabled....just like me. If you feel it, SAY IT!

By the way,

DOOM THREAD STARTING HERE! I predict that in about 30min i'll be having a bowl of chili and my belly will be alight by nightfall! Hide your children! Excessive toilet flushing will cause the rotation of the earth to reverse and we'll be thrown from the planets surface just as the Hadron colider goes on line and aliens arive!

I kinda like that crazy weird BS they're spewing! Its like a psychoactive train wreck and the carnage is the OP's brains! Its kinda fun to see the bizarre side of things.

tired of"
The "we're gonna die tomorrow" things? Tiring.
I don't mine heads up about important things like vaccines.

Aliens coming to give us all anal probes after "disclosure"? Disclosure is pointless.

Illuminati/anti-masonic garbage? geez. too old.

I agree, I used to enjoy coming to ATS because I could find some topics and news that I would find anywhere else. Lately, its just people grabbing articles from the front page of digg and people making off the wall rants on strange subjects. If I wanted to read Digg, i would go to Digg...

I've actually been resorted to reading Pravda.ru lately for the more underground news and opinions, because I'm not finding it here!

See, and I thought I was alone in these thoughts.

But as I can tell, this thread is already starting an arguement. All I was stating is merely the same as you.

But as a previous poster said, you can self-censor.

double post


soryy mods

Do not put words into my mouth, I did not say there should be no flagging off threads. So either show I did or apologise.

"Sorry" it took me so long to respond, I was being harassed by someone else about another subject.

"Who are you all to decide what can and what cannot be posted on ATS?"

"You have the same right as any other member who comes to ATS whether or not to participate in a topic of discussion, not to shoot down the OP. A little commonsense goes along way don’t you think! "

Whether or not to "participate in a topic of discussion" includes the system of flagging by the person reading the topic. If a person feels that the topic is important or is worth reading by others, they star and or flag the thread.

I suggested that an other type of flagging could be implemented that has the opposite effect. Therefore I don’t believe I said that I should decide what can and what cannot be "posted" on ATS.

Seems like common sense to me!

Just goes to show, there are those in ATS who would censor everything members posted on here, just to suit their own needs and interests.

And I can quite see whom they are.

Your accusation that I would "censor everything members posted on here, just to suit my own needs and interests" makes you a hypocrite that is just attemting to divert attention from my "suggestion" and an attempt to start a fight. They have a word on here for that, dont they?.....Hmmm what was that?

Thanks for starting this thread Havok, I'm with you all the way.
I belong to a football ( soccer ) forum here in the UK.
If anyone joins and posts like a total moron, they are told by everyone
in no uncertain terms to F. O., thus the board is not infested by weirdos.

Take a look at that Ukraine thread now.
So many of them bricking it, someone's gonna die of heart failure !
Brown trouser time for that lot of wallies. ( yet again)

Then you are entitled to your opinions as well as am I. As I said before there is a suggestion button for to put your views forward to the Owners of ATS.

Weither they take onboard what you are sayin that is up to them.

As for me, members should be allow to post what they want aslong as it is is not vulgar, pornography etc. You nor me as member should dictate what should be posted and what should not.

You can call it what you like, I have a different take on it, but we are entitled to our own opinions.

Weither you agree or disagree with it, people posts threads which deal with thier personal lifes, believes etc.

You might not agree with it. But who are you to decide? Those thread you might think ave nothing to do with ATS, might bring up something that others have never thought about before.

After all this site is a conspiracy site that likes to debate issues, irrelavent or not irrelavant to site!

And anyways most know in here know what thread to describe to on ATS. or which threads not to subcribe too, I would think the are old enough to think for themselves, rather than being treated like infants! Dont you agree?
