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. :(
-
when I was new here........political threads were all I made. they all got deep sixed......and in hind sight....they should have. it's a private board..owned and operated by a private enterprise....so free speech has nothing to do with it.
fact is......especially now adays.....people get offended too easily....so it's the right thing to do.
-
Yup...politics and religion always create stupidity.
Take it from someone who has seen it first hand repeatedly...post a single political or relgious article, opinion, or what have you and you might as well drop a turd in the middle of grandma's christmas dinner. People will troll for reactions, just to see the fireworks.
Doesn't belong on the net anywhere.

This IS the problem, too many pissing or poo fling contests were caused by "hot" topics, especially one like politics.

Welcome to the the Skuzocracy. :salute

I'll double that. :confused: :confused:

This one prolly aint gonna end too well. But my opinion is this: It is their business, their game, their bbs, They can run it as they see fit. If you don't like it you can always take your $14.95 else where.
-

And were O'Club discussions ever civilized when it came to politics? Never. It was all about defaming the character and moral worth of anyone who wasn't a hard-nosed ideologue. I'm glad the politics are gone. If you want to go back to what was here previously, you know where to go.
Btw, IN.

Oh!! this dont look good....

I agree in principle but apparently it has been shown multiple times that people will take a mile when given an inch.
-
Skuzzy needed the reduced work-load. Seems to have really helped.
-
This was a very inappropriate way to try and change the tone of the place wrongway but you already knew that. Skuzzy had stated it often enough that it's not a mandatory part of the game that you be here and if you have a problem he suggested you go the e-mail route. Off hand I figure this was your way of saying goodbye rather than the melodramatic "I QUIT" message we've seen in the past. Ya don't like it here ya don't have to click on the forums. There ARE other options.

I'm a big fan of benevolent dictatorships...
I'd rather see mindless threads on cars, chicks and beer in here...

Unfortunately, I can't make that one a link for you since it seems to require a session ID...but I bet you can find it.
-
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.
Oh yeah IN!
-
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.
-
In fairness, Skuzzy will let a couple of a posters inappropriate (by the rules) threads/posts pass without swinging his banstick... He just locks them... But only a couple... Then Whammo, YOUR GONE for two weeks!!! Or, if ya REALLY cut loose ugly on the BBS.. He nukes ya with the PNG... Hey, what do ya expect, its his backyard!!!
I know by experience, twice LOL!!!

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.

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

As a paying customer I disagree.

Big old (http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs20/f/2007/283/9/7/_facepalm__by_Chimpantalones.gif) on this one.
Makes you wonder what people like this did in the days before internet forums. :rolleyes:
Go outside and talk to someone...you know...in person.
-
:aok ^5 Skuzzy for the verbal pwnage!! :D

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

Er Um Lil Sunshine they own the site they run it how they see fit. if you dont like the rules dont post. Political babe boobs?? make sure there covered lol
-
"hey run it how they see fit. if you dont like the rules dont post."
+! :rock
This forum smells 150% better without all of the the pointless political ranting
and raving.
As has been pointed out. Want to talk about politics? Well there's an Olympia
store across the street having a big sale so why don't you go get yourself a
new pair of sneakers and hit the bricks!
-
I'll double that. :confused: :confused:
I'll see your :confused: :confused: and raise you :huh :rolleyes:
-
Politics are just too inflammatory.
I know how strongly I feel about certain things, and how I can't resist getting my two cents in whenever something political comes up.
It just gets too ugly too quickly.
-
i almost hate to say this.......but mayhaps htc should follow the first part of the op title. shut it down for a bit. see how long it takes for someone to beg them to bring it back. :noid

Been there, done that. Too far back for your time. Or even mine, IIRC.

they tried that? and it didn't work?
yikes!

Where is that? On Flamewarriors?
This is still an interesting OT forum that I enjoy reading. I often find interesting material on military history or aviation.
There's probably a lot of things skuzzy would rather do than spend time being hall monitor on here.

See #1 bar rule...
Never argue about politics or religion.

Good luck with that
you want true free speech in a forum. Try here instead.
http://www.flamewarriors.net/forum/index.php
Just be careful what you ask for. It may just be more then what you want or can handle.
If your a politically correct lightweight. Or cant handle being called on what you say. Dont bother.
-
Wow, where to go with this... I can see wrongway's point, as to speaking about things, such as politics. I guess what I wonder is, how far is too far?
I also agree that, if you feel so strongley about discussing such issues, well there are other places for that too.

I have claimed it as my own. Plus I added an icon on my desktop to a file with all pictures, with links so all I have to do is copy, paste. Its a lot faster than looking up the pictures. Still can't find my video that beats soup nazi though. This will have to do.....

Ah geez.
What happens here is not censorship.
It's a business booting fools and removing items that will reflect poorly on the company.
You have no 'freedom of speech' here. You have no rights here.
You're in the HTC sandpit.
Play by their rules or sod off.
Stop complaining.
-
He has stopped complaining here at least. Skuzzy showed him the door and planted it in his posterior, where his eyes were located anyhow.

I agree, but I'm not saying his compliaint didn't have at least SOME basis. I think maby a relaxed moderation would fit here. i.e. No porn, relegious, or political stuff here, but relax the standard for "offensive material", and stuff along those lines. I mean he did make a good point....this IS the O club.
-
We tried "relaxed" and the forum became a cess pool of hate and anger. Never going back to that again.
The only point the OP made was to show how he could raise his head up into the line of fire and get it blown off. Of course, anyone is free to act like a jerk, if they must. It just means we will have one less poster on the board afterwards.
