News, Current Affairs & Politics Posting Guidelines - Considerations (1 Viewer)

[anti]

I have to admit I've been a little scared of entering this forum for fear of rioters and political extremists (you never know what you'll find online!).

I'll keep this organised simply by stickying/unstickying and deleting irrelevant or abusive threads. If you have any concerns PM me or post in this thread.

Enjoy

I think you can fix up most problems by just banning Alexander and Melbournian from this section!

 

[fatmuscle]

wow r u that scared, is there realy rioters in this forum, wow they msut be abusive if so, i think

 

[Ribbon]

Lol looks like you killed off half of the threads on here!

I havn't read half of the deleted threads (so correct me if the issue was the content being abusive) but to me a title like 'our government sux' or 'michael jackson sux' doesn't nessarily make them abusive? Wouldn't it be better in those cases for the mods just to edit the names like 'discussion on our government' or something? I feel like I missed out on some juicy stuff

*ahem*, *Ihatecensorship*, *cough*..

Lol, this place just won't be the same until the next reincarnation. GB/IHC is harmless really. Don't like it, don't read it, put it on ignore. At least it gave us something to talk about. I'm sure it won't be long though.

i think the problem was, the admin and moderators received complaints (many of them) which had to be dealt with.

i think to put simply, the guideline is - don't draw too many complaints ie. be conformists =p

 

[Enlightened_One]

But the whole point of this forum is not to be a conformist but express your own opinion.

 

[cayte]

Terribly disappointing business that. I eagerly anticipate the next unleashing.

I agree but I think the way gb/ihc expressed his views (which I think were very valid... I agreed with him on most points) was a bit retarded... the way he expressed himself was bound to bring complaints but I don't think it was nessary to delete the threads... just tell him to tone it down a bit or get banned/whatever. Its a pity I hadn't finished reading all those threads...

I don't think many people liked IHC!!
