reply to post by Utopian
its nothing new, i have seen it happen ever since i first came to this site, the only reason such an issue as that could persist for two years now
that ive seen it is simply it is designed that way, they want to have control over what makes the firehose, even though it ought to be automaticly all
new threads, it isnt, thats what it says it is, but it isnt, not
all
dont trust anyone right? censorship happens even here, even had my own posts censored uploaded the incident to youtube to expose this hypocritical
situation
www.youtube.com...
hypocritical because the sites motto is deny ignorance yet the censor left and right which denies you the ability to decide for yourself ie denies you
the ability to deny ignorance
also take into account they now have a witch hunt situation which they are rounding up a list of any source that is deemed untrustworthy and any time
any article is posted from that source it is immediatly thrown into hoax bin or deleted simply due to the source having been placed on their witch
hunt list. so the website is the one who deems what is worthy, not the members, we are not permited the ability to decide for ourselves in those
situations.
the post they censored of mine said nothing more then "ats should never remove and censor a post or thread unless required by law, doing so when not
neccessary is denying the members the ability to make up their own minds" it was only my opinion i was shareing, i said that twice before and had
it removed by mod not only that but he also deducted points from me and placed a posting ban on my account for over two weeks until i complained
enough times they finaly stoped ignoring me and removed the posting ban,
on top of that the mod sent me a reply to a u2u i sent him agreeing with me that "you did not break any specific T&C i removed your post cause it
could stoke flames"
all this is in the youtube vid,
lets face it, no one is ever 100% happy with a service, best thing to do is to address issues with every effort to please the users, however thats not
how these issues are handled on this site, instead every time this is brought up which has been many times in the past, the same thing occurs, the
thread lives for a few pages before being either locked or removed, hardly gonna satisfy the complaints.
and on the topic of mods steping on other mods shoes, i totaly agree, i once was praised for posting the typical "this thread is already posted
elsewhere (+ link to older thread on same topic)" then weeks later i did it again on another reposted thread and had my post removed as off topic,
lol,
this is only my opinion i am trying to share on this discussion site, sad that doing so i still fell a fear of being
censored..........again.
