Title: Does free speech apply to this board?
Post by: nonesuch on Oct 24, 2008, 03:17 PM
Beyonce vs Sasha Fierce was a serious debate

Were talking about a battle between two personalities of the same person

Self vs Self     the ultimate challenge     the war within    what could possibly be more valid

Plus picturing beyonce in a jello cage match against her more confident, virulent, sassy self was undeniably hot as fuck



far more valuable and worthwhile than a picture of variable's enormous hairy nut sack


and why lock the poitick thwead?    I see more coming from that precursor than a million "real"  candidate threads

Well...The Beyonce belonged in the Bullshit thread..cause thats what it was...bullshit.

And the Politik Thwead,while I didn't delete it,we DO have other topics going about politics,so it was kind of redundant.

Those people never bothered me.  I thought it was funny.  Mainly because so many people had sand up their vagina and couldn't just ignore the things they didn't like.  It's not that hard to do.  Just skip over it if you really must.

Nah..that's ok. I don't like sand in my vagina,so if they posted it more than once in multiple threads,I deleted the unnecessary ones.

we have rules here. it's as simple as that. don't like it, go somewhere lese. you're free to talk about anything, there's no censoring. but we need some basic structure so that we have something to fall back on when thing get out of control. as they have before.

that said, the chit chat section is basically free for all sort of random bullshit. but starting joke threads that don't have a point is just that: pointless.

oh, and I really don't see why you are complaining about many topics being locked. there are very few topic getting locked these days. and the ones getting locked are hardly in the middle of interesting dicsussions. and if you're complaining just because you like to "stick it to the man", then you should just give it up.

For real.  I'm not trying to stick it to the man.  Obviously there is censoring because you are preventing people from discussing things that you view as pointless while others may disagree.

I have a lot of post and I'm not a mod.

I have been fighting the uphill battle against over moderation on this board for a while.  That's actually the reason why they made "the rules" so now they can claim its warranted.  See the people who were already mods, and all agreed on how they wanted the board to be got together and made these rules.  Without asking us little people (the majority of posters) what we thought, and even telling fellow mods to STFU if they didn't agree with the majority.  It makes me mad too.  Because I know how much more fun board are when you just let conversation be conversation.  The randomness is a huge part of the fun.  Plus if you want to talk about a certain bull shit issue.  But 5 other people want to talk about 5 other bull shit issues all in 1 thread.  Then you are competing for the forum and it's not fun.

Title: Re: Does free speech apply to this board?
Post by: Variable on Oct 25, 2008, 05:49 PM
We have met a pretty ok compromise on all the rules and locking lately.  But every now and then I do get a bit frustrated when a topic is locked because "it serves no further purpose" or " has expired its usefulness" or " is way too off track" or whatever.  Its like right in the middle of us having a good time and laughing about some stupid shit it gets locked.....just because.  Then the board goes on for 3 days with a total of 10 post.  It just seems so counterproductive.  I would think that the goal of SL would be to have a lot of people having a lot of conversation and a lot of fun.  Making lots of rules and locking up peoples fun does not accomplish that.
Title: Re: Does free speech apply to this board?
Post by: devilinside on Oct 25, 2008, 05:53 PM
Right,and I agree. Like I said,the only thing I've locked are the NEW users that come here and post a new topic in every section saying "If you like bla bla bla you'll like this band!". It's cool to post it once,but damn,in every section? Once is enough. I dont care what ya'll say  (as long as its not harsh) or what threads you create (as you can see when I posted in bebos thread). Just remember,not all mods think alike.

Hmmm... I wonder how I got to be a mod.   

I don't see myself as a nazi on here... In fact, I'll also agree to being one of the more lenient.   I did lock az's topic the other day that was like... "haha" or some shit... as he was drunk... and it meant absolutely nothing.    Other than that I find myself often in convo's with others pretty much derailing threads, not purposely... but anyway I do it.    I tend to like laughing, and find most that happens here funny.  Now, Ross... hes a douche bag, and I don't really care what anyone else thinks about him.  I didn't ban him... but I backed it.    I don't find it funny for men to talk about women being raped and sodomized, as if she deserved it.... call me crazy!

the simple reason why topics get locked or why members get banned is because moderators wouldn't be necessary if they didn't lock a topic once in a while or ban a member now and then. they do it for the sake of having a higher position than the rest of us. that is basically it.

It's suspicous to think you're still mentioning me on this board. Of course in the wrong by no suprise. I've never talked about those things in that way. I've said crazy things in the art section, but if you understand them or their origin then you wouldn't be so confused. Even thinking of that time is a trifle, living in the past is for the sluggard who lusts for everything and has nothing, so move on, the victim should be the only one screaming years later, not the oppressor.

BTW no one should be banned, but I wouldn't expect true justice anywhere in this godless life, especially the internet, not in these times.

actually, that was in june and thank you for confirming that you were the one who banned me.

silly to have 2 of the same name? maybe silly, sure, but worth banning? probably not. definitely not worth getting yourself all butthurt over it either.

also, i'm not bebo, so go ahead and delete him if you want. i've never denied any of my awesome names, so why would i deny being bebo? use your brain.

actually, i did ask, publicly too; and your job, just like every MODERATOR on this board, was to answer my inquiry. it went unanswered, not suprisingly.

as far as you being two-faced, that's my personal opinion of you and i'm sure you'll live without me having to explain why.

even though we have some rules here, I can assure you that we've been way more strict in the past and compared to pretty much any other band forum (or any fan forum for that matter) you're pretty much free to do anything. forums have rules, and that's for a reason - it's not so that some people can feel superior and supress others. and I really don't understand why you are all taking it like that. first of all, there aren't many threads being locked at all. second, like I repeat over and over again, most of the threads that are locked in this section are done so because the posts can very well go into the bullshit thread. there you're free to post whatever the fuck you want. third, give me one example of a thread that has been locked recently that had any kind of conversation going on and you feel like me or someone else censored.

I was hoping most of you regulars knew me well enough by now not to think I was just out to be an ass.

Damn it, I missed all the fun.    And now I have a massive headache, and it's not as much fun.


I didn't ban Ross..... I backed it.   Hell, everyone backed it.     I did not in any way back the banning of blondie.   Not because blondie is my friend, but because I saw no harm in having 2 id's.   I've been around other boards, and there are many boards where members have 2 id's.   Xbox forum for instance...... most of the id's that talk shit are silver accounts....  They make these free accounts so they are free to speak how they want, and not have their gold account banned.    I just didn't think that blondie was hurting anyone by having 2 accounts..... so, I did not back that decision.   

And no, David... I don't just let anything happen "til it pisses me off"    There are so many times I've been rubbed the wrong way on here by people running their mouths, and I said nothing.... OR I spoke my peace....but  I don't ban ppl.... and I think in all the time I've been a mod, which is over a year....  I've locked maybe 3 topics.   One being two days ago that Az made and straight out wanted locked... but he was trying to piss Jacob off and wanted him to lock it... He was drunk and it was stupid.    He asked for it to be locked, and I did just that.   

If people start a topic, and they want to be silly on it... as long as it's in the bullshit thread, I let it slide.  Hell, its just that.. BULLSHIT.   So I don't care... In fact...   I've typed on manyyyy threads that were just bullshit, as it made me laugh.  Some of them, were locked.    For instance.... I posted in a thread, and it was all just fun.   Another mod posted.. "damn mods"  and locked the thread.    lolz.    Seriously.   


I will say, I think things have gotten more lenient over the past year, and I'm happy for that.    I don't think this needs to be Nazi Kingdom.    And I still feel there needs to be NSFW thread. 

On the last note, My real life is serious... THIS is NOT.   

Another hour, and I get my injections... Have a good day ppl.

nuno should've just had the board vote for mods like before and this wouldn't be a problem. some of you mods are straight out humorless robots who wouldn't even post at all if you weren't mods. your posts rarely have any value and all you do is troll the boards looking to use your lock button anytime you can, but not before having the last word. your whole entity on this board is that of authority and not of someone who can contribute something of value, have a laugh, have a witty smart comment or take a joke. you're fucking lame and you are exactly what makes this board fucking lame.

there is only about 2 or 3 mods that show they can let people at least get some enjoyment out of the board while still maintaining control of it. just because a topic gets derailed for a few posts doesn't mean it deserves to be locked. it's a DISCUSSION, no matter what the topic is titled. at least give it a chance to either die or just get back on track for fuck's sake. also, topics get created because people want to talk about a specific thing, which DOESN'T belong in the bullshit thread. and so what if it's a stupid subject? it's chit chat and what topic is so important in chit chat that it can't be under any other topic under ANY circumstance? use your fucking brain; if it's not spam, leave it alone. simple. don't worry, the board isn't going to collapse in on itself because of a beyonce vs. sasha topic. idiots.

blondie is awesome. thank you.

I know you're talking about me and if that's how you perceive me, then fine. I've been a mod here for what I think is 5-6 years now and I've never had anything but the boards best in interest. the boards have changed a lot over these years and I guess I just have a hard time letting it go and devolve into a big pile of meaningless chatter. at the same time, it's saddened me how slow and boring the boards have been. you can blame it on me or any other mod as much as you want, but a lot of people have left because the atmosphere has changed and the friendly family vibe is more or less gone. sure, some people have left because they think the rules are too strict, but none of those are amongst the old regulars who made this place great. we've survived waves of new members in the past, who have adjusted to the setting and become a part of the family. it's only lately (and what I think started with the official boards going down) that people have come here to whine and push buttons. and that has, obviously, only led to more bickering and more modding. because, like I said, I guess me and others have a hard time accepting it's not gonna be what it used to be.

but you win, I'm not gonna bother anymore as it seems I've in the process turned most of the boards against me. I've sent Nuno a pm and asked him to take away my rights as a mod and I hope that's what this place needs to get back on some sort of track.

yeah, i agree with aenemic.  i've been here for damn near 6 years and i never thought the rules were a problem, because everyone who broke them seemed like dumbasses that didn't want to be involved in the community as much as just come here to post random bullshit.  that mindset has since left the board and now it's full of people who are trying to fight for free speech when they just want to start retarded topics (most of which i might add are just made to fuck with the mods with the knowledge that they will be locked).  i'm all for fucking around and stuff, but come on, it's not like it's that strict here.

Anyone that has ever had a conversation would understand that...say, you start a conversation with someone at a grocery store about the kinds of apples you like and you end up having an hour long conversation. There is no fucking way in hell that when it ends, it's still about apples. That's the beauty of conversation.

i'm the opposite. i can't stay mad. whenever me and my girl fight i'm making jokes and getting her even more pissed off till she breaks down and laughs. my answer to just about everything is to make fun of it until its not a problem anymore (in my mind at least). you/I can't be mad about something when i can't even take it serious. then it goes away. and sure unresolved issues almost always pop up again, but then the cycle just continues.
