I admit I read it the same way ALpha did, needles. Probably for the same reason LOL
I admit that I also read it that way.
I admit that there is so much bitching about moderation going on lately that it makes me want to not bother reading and posting to threads.
I have received many gold letters, they have always been polite, and I have been moderated once, but when I made the post I knew it would happen. It was worth it to tell a certain poster exactly what I thought of him.
If I feel that passionately about something else, I will post it and, like every other action in my life, I will own the consequences for my actions, but sitting and constantly bitching about what might happen, TO ME, is silly.
If you feel strongly, post your thoughts. If they are off topic, so what. If they piss the mods off, so what. Own who you are and your thoughts.
If you are willing to leave because of what you believe MIGHT happen, be willing to be thrown off or moderated because of something you feel strongly enough to say damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
Or, just continue to bitch and whine in public, rather in private to the mod staff, and when this site dies because it has become a bitch and whine fest, you can blame it on the heavy handed moderation.
i admit that i am not sure whether that lot is aimed at me personally, or ment generically. however, for the record when it comes to myself, i've said everything i need to say in the open because i've been on sites before where 'moderation' started down the route that it is here at the moment. it did not end nicely with alot of members. if fact one particular forum is generally dead now with just a handful of members too scared to say anything classed as 'out there' for fear of being banned.
the only difference that i see with this site is that Alpha at least appears to be wanting to address the issues being raised, which is a good thing. i see no reason why people shouldn't say what they like in the open as it's too easy for things to be squashed, or ignored behind closed doors. it also gives others the chance to have their say, and for the site to see how many people are thinking along the same lines.
and for everyone else; seriously guys talking behind the scenes and then spilling in the forum just isn't my style. it's what i'd consider very cheap, crass behaviour.
thankfully others didn't see my post as anything other than i meant it.
