    free speach and highly moderated boards

    this country is founded on free speach and these message boards like this one with 2000 moderators running around deleting everything that they dont like is nothing but a totally censored unamerican oppressed enviornment. it stuns me that EVERY time I post something that someone else might not like BAM I get "reported" to the "moderators/oppresionists". free speach is the absolute pinacle of the difference between freedom and oppression not to mention the absolute key ingredient of open exchanges and discussions. how many minutes before this post is deleted?

    i would say not very long, because there is no section for "bitching complaints" and this is definetly not the section it would go under

    Free speech does not apply to privately owned message boards.

    In the rules, spamming, advertising (outside the advert forums), fighting, harrassing, or rude posts are disallowed. Several members report posts like that, especially when a thread turns into entire discussions that are harrassing, fighting, or rude.

    mikey, your 'free speech' ends when you enter someone elses property....this board is not under any free speech restrictions.

    I don't think you're going to get much support for your Free Speech argument on this private forum.

    Actually on this board, you agreed to the terms of service, which waived your right to Freedom of Speech.

    If you feel this way, why not start by leaving yourself?

    Well, he's gone now. But it wasn't because of 'this' thread.

    Humm, although I do kinda agree with him, and yes this is a private message board, and I really respect that. But it really seems that the most harmless responce ends up banning me from a section of the board. Yes I know your not supposed to tell somebody to check their PM, e-mail, etc. But when somebody asks "blah blah, send me a pm or respond here" and you replay with "Pm Sent, our plan is <plan info>" and BAM!, not really something you see on most forums, but then again, you don't care about losing a member like me, because you have a lot of them.

    If you know you are not supposed to do something...why do you do it? Your PM's can be set to pop up when you get one...do that and there is no need for a "pm sent" reply.

    If they ask you to respond by PM or email, then they would check their email or PMs I would think? No need to post it in the thread.
