If you don't like it you can always leave. Better yet start your own forum. Let's see how well that works out for ya.

The O'club is a better place without all the political bs.

I love how these threads always start after office hours. I'm so IN. :rock

If you want to speak freely, this is not the forum. This is HTC property and as a buisness they have the right to monitor what is presented on their property. It's their butt on the line.

You might be more comfortable posting over at Flamewarriors.net , it's the evil offspring of The O'Club.

Yep, make sure you link to this thread when you ask for membership to those forums so the (and I use this term loosely) moderator can allow you access.

Have a nice day wrongway.

Seems I am the one responsible for you acting like an idiot.  Yes, it is my fault people chose to violate the forum posting rules.  Yes, it is my fault people will not always complain ("Report to moderator" link) about someone breaking said forum rules.  Sure, why not make it my fault that you pissed on HTC because you you cannot have it your way?  This is not Burger King.

I guess it is also my fault you chose to be as disrespectful as you can in our house.  Oh darn, I forget I am supposed to roll over and allow you to be as derogatory towards us as you want to be.  I am supposed to just suck it up and take it.  Well, I guess that is just a short-coming of mine.  Deal with it.

Did someone forget to tell me "political" discussions were light-hearted?  I must have missed that memo.

One last tidbit.  Just because I am the most visible on the boards, from HTC, does not mean I act in a vacuum.  I could easily create a dummy board account to use for moderation, but I chose to use my own name because I think it only fair you know who has to babysit this mess.

Ok, now i got your attention for sure.
This forum is suppose to be for "off topic or less serious" posting about issues not related to AH right?

 Well i don't think that any issues, including political should be banned then. As long as we keep it civilized and an "i see it this way, you see it that way type of discussion" i don't see the problem.

You give a forum for non AH related items and let a lot of stuff slide, but dear lord mention politics or something you (skuzzy-moderaters) don't like or
the rules for the AH portion which should not apply to this section of the forum as it has nothing to do with AH,  and it's "nothing to see here" or some such.

So in a nut shell, why even have this forum if it's not for the players to comment on outside issues that concern them if your going to censor it?

Let us paying customers/players decide when enough is enough is what i'm saying really.

I guess if i throw up a picture of the political babe's boobs for the day or some such it'd make this post ok?

Yea your right, i don't get selective censorship by a single individual at all. :(

they NEVER stay civilized. they very rarely make it past one page before someone starts personal attacks. it's htc's board.....they can pretty much do as they wish. be glad it's still here.  :aok

There's another forum, populated by past and present AH players, where you can talk all the politics you want, without driving Skuzzy nuts.
