I don't care about post counts or whatever but I think some posts of mine on PA were being deleted without good reason. I remember posting something about the chinese opium war or something in the kelvin and jill vidal thread but no longer there. I can understand the deletion of spam messages but not because the admin didn't agree with my responses. I was active on two other forums until my responses were deleted cuz the admin thought it was offensive. I recalled one incidence where there was this competition on one particular forum and I stated my opinion .. true .. yes .. harsh .. yes .. how can I stated otherwise when it was just fucking BAD. It was immediately deleted cuz the admin claimed that I am scarying participants away with my criticism. Hello, this is a forum and people should be free to express their opinion regardless of whether you like it or not. You can't satisfy everyone and deleting it is disrespectful and uncool. You encourage others to express their thought but trash them when things are not the way you wanted it be .. WTF. I don't need censorship online .. no way .. if PA starts doing that .. then I am outta here.
i guess your expressions should be free only to a certain extend.... if it has to do with flaming people or unhealthy for a community, or along the lines, then of course any admin should delete it.. it's like law.. you have the freedom of expression, but only to a certain extend.. for example, and this is only an exaggerated example, if you claim that the Holocaust never happened or that the Twin Towers was faked, then of course it has to be deleted.. now again, this is just an exaggerated example, but my point is, no one should be given total freedom, cyberspace or otherwise...
^ true but for my example, do you think i gonna sit, think, and type something that's sucked in a more nicer and friendlier way so the participants doesn't feel sad? hmmm... yeah i would if i get paid for it. as far as unhealthy for the community, i agree with that but quite frankly; being active in this forum this long, have you seen me attacking anyone in particular? i am the same everywhere else so yeah .. i was mad and left the forum .. i actually took my time and reviewed the stuffs those participants submitted and wrote a long response only to get deleted .. waste of my time.
^ Just remember, if it happens/happened to you then it happens to others too, a few times i post threads and they get deleted 5 mins later..... but whatever Also a forum works best when their are many members, if an admin on another site thinks your scaring his members away then he has every right to delete stuff. i believe you agreed to abide by their rules when you created the account rite. you could always have a go at making your own forum, maybe youll get a flamer or two come and destroy a months worth of hard work with his thoroughly thought out responses >.<.
lol what did you say....if this happened to me before i forgot. must have been pushing some limits man haha.
Like master_g said, you agreed to the rules while you created your account. Anyways, this is someones forum not a democracy.
lol .. like i read the rules .. lol .. how many people actually did when they signed up? but got it .. guess i should just keep quiet next time before i am deemed as a whining sob and get BAN ..
Meh, I think you won't hit that point if you haven't cause any trouble in the PMS thread in the health section LOL
Lol... i dun think u will get banned that fast negiq... admins n mods on PA are quite easy going la.... i dunno what u said n why ur posts got deleted but keep in mind that PA is a place where u can say a looootta things compared to other forums.... maybe something went wrong? If ur sure ur posts got deleted then send a PM to the admins/mods?
i dunno whut post it was....but i just took a looky in the thread and your posts are still there...no..? and mebe its coz it got deleted coz of the double threads.....the chin news is doubled sometimes...?..i dunno..
How bad would the comment have to be for you scare away members -_-. True this is the internet. The best place to express your free speech, but like dann said there are limits. There's times when I just full out disagree with a person, but just ignore it instead of replying. Cause I know either I will get out of control or its a complete waste of time. Pick your battles.
We have an open minded approach to posts here at PA. The evidence of that is pretty clear. We don't go removing threads or censor what is posted. We do not impose our own views here. We try to be unbiased. Either there was a valid reason for your thread/post being removed or it was just a system error. PM one of us with the details and we can look into it. We are by far no where near the other forums you have visited. I think our members can attest to that. However, that doesn't mean we don't have a set of rules we expect all members to follow. Knoc
