Free speech or not here!!!
 

Once again one of my threads has been deleted. It was a thread saying sorry for trying to help others stay clear of dodgy dealers and in this thread as some of you may have read the mods came under fire a little bit. Not from me but i did have a go at BBK for deleting a thread which would have bee helpful to others. Now in the first second thread i did it was said that taking the michael out of the mods wasa bannable offence but im sure that we still live in a world where everyone is entitled to their own opinion on any matter including other people. Is this so or are we using a forum moderated by people who we cant have an opinion, or say things, about? If so thats just wrong to me but am i alone? Stop the ass kissing and have your say on this!

Cue thread deletion.

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

The rules are the same for everyone Tadah .... No arguing with mods in threads. I think it works well.

If you have a problem with a decision made by a mod take it up with them privately, not on the boards ...... and believe me I've had a few set-too's with mods behind closed doors :o

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

When you signed up to accyweb you agreed to abide by the rules of the forum, one of these rules is that you cannot be calling the mods, after all their lives would be hell if every time they try to do their job they had to put up with insults from irate members.

So really the answer to your question is no, freedom of speech is not here, but then you voluntarily gave away that portion of it when you signed up to be a member of this forum.

Don't forget without the mods doing their jobs voluntarily and giving a great deal of personal time to the site there would be chaos, we would be inundated with spam, swearing would increase to an intolerable level driving away decent members. Those of us that do at times overstep the mark have to be brought back into line somehow and if by doing their job to protect the majority of members the mods had to suffer insults they would not do the job for long.

If they have removed something it won't have been a personal vendetta against you it will be because they have decided usually between themselves, that the post/thread is out of line and therefore not good for the site.

So the only thing you can do is keep in mind that the mods are here for the good of the majority and live by the rules.

Re: Free speech or not here!!!

Testicles ...............

I didn't see your original thread Tadah, so cant comment on that, I think what Less said says it all really, I dont think the moderators have anything against you personally, maybe you need to read through your posts and imagine how it'll be perceived by others, like I said though I didn't see it so cant comment specifically.

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

There are rules in life in general that stop you saying whatever you like, this forum is and has always been a family site with a few younger members. It is the duty of the mods to ensure that this site is suitable for the complete audience.

Perhaps you like to sail close to the wind, perhaps you enjoy trolling to a certain extent who knows, the mods are here to ensure the site remains a safe and pleasant land to live in. I guess that if you don't feel happy here that you should know its not compulsory to post here, find somewhere that moderates to your level and be happy there instead.

A lot of people enjoy posting on Accyweb because we have a wide and varied collection of people. you need to consider teh opinion and values of all those people when posting.

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

I think the mods do a good job on here and I agree with the rules about not arguing with them etc. To be honest they can be a little slack if anything so we often get away with stuff we shouldn't. It works well in my opinion.

If you want to argue with them mate then it won't be long before you get banned again.

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

I have had my hands slapped a few times ,but i neaded it ...They are good moderaters

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

This could go on forever. First there was the offending post that was deleted, then there was the thread about the post being deleted which was then deleted, now there is a thread about the thread about the post being deleted. :D

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

Probably the people with the least free speech on the site are the moderators.

Although they may post in the fun sections of Accy Web, I've never once seen them post in a serious debate, even though they may have something to add. They seem keep out of threads were they could be accused of having an advantage.

Accy Web is no different from 'real' life, we all have to abide by rules and law, otherwise there'd be anarchy.

As others have said, being a mod is a fairly thankless task, and not one I'd be able, or want to do.

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

Another pointless thread really, mods dont delete threads for fun of it theres usually a reason especially if u push the rules & generally warn those of us that bend them a little. Being a moderator is a thankless task & not an easy one, usually blamed for owt thats wrong, i've been one & still am to some point on another:rolleyes: so i do have respect for them in that manner & make sure i thank them for their help or advice, even i get my own deleted mainly at my own report hehehehehehe & i thank them for it:D

I think they have been just in their desicion & you really know that:rolleyes: cos if they let you off then they have to let the rest of us off & where will that end before anarchy sets in!!

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

Looks like tadah has tried to start a rebellion against the mods and got no takers LOL!

Re: Free speech or not here!!!
 

I think this is a good thread just by showing how appreciated the moderators are. That's not butt kissing, it's just a fact how many people appreciate Accyweb in it's entirerity. Do I agree with everything I see and "hear" on Accyweb, nope? IMO, I believe some "over 18 stuff" slips through the cracks on various threads. Do I sometimes laugh at these "infractions?" Yup. Just bothers me that some youngsters are exposed to it.

Early on in my Accyweb life I received a number of Mod. pm's. Scared the bejesus out of me. Like getting called to the principals office. In all cases they were merely hand holding. Instructing me while guiding me through posting tips. There have been a view thread comments where I thought I was a bit out of line. Thankfully, never had a Mod. slap my hand.
