someone make me a mod. then there will be reason to cry about mods controling content, heck i dont even like colored text! lol :)
 
yeah to be honest,I can have quite a mouth on me sometimes but I am not proud of it.I am very happy that I can come here and its not like youtube and such with bad cursing and flaming.That stuff makes me want to vomit.Pushing the limits on purpose makes me wonder why also.So its not a place to be R rated so what,but it dosnt have to be church either.I like it like this and if it ever goes youtube style,as much as I love some of you,Im out in a flash.Ive been getting alot of ancient post that were lame deleted and thats fine as long as they dont remove a bunch of pics and good advice and such.Haters,flamers and ppl who just try and push the mods should be delt with.Mods need to know how to distinguish the difference in jerks and ppl just trying to make a civil point during a time of a heat wave.So far they are good with me about it so I try to give them back that respect.Their not your bosses,but its their rules here and as long as they dont abuse their power and we dont push for youtube bs then we should all be cool.Peace out guys.

i think the amount of people who have there panty's in a bunch is getting out of hand... seriously crying about censorship on a web forum... but i bet there tones would change if they dealt with all the crap the staff has to... we get it easy we just post and view and have fun... they have to clean all the crap up plus try to enjoy the site.... but god forbid a post gets deleted then its censorship... most "other" forums are not as big as mfk too... something to keep in your mind...

Im not crying!



















:cry:

Im not really trying to start a fight, but its getting old fast.

I havent broken any laws or said anything that can get the forum in trouble but still i have had about 4 post deleted and 1 edited.

So whats the deal with the censorship? Ive been on numerous other forums and never have I had a post edited. Someone point me too the right sticky of what not to say :) Im I suposed to ignore the BS I see? Anyone else have this problem?

Anyways im new here and love the site, and have probably have spent a hundred hours here in the lat few months. So go easy on me :eek:
To answer your question about censorship, everything has its limits. This forum has its own rules. Each forum is unique and runs differently. Censorship will happen. Others may not allow their moderators to edit posts but we edit for a variety of reasons as per the Terms of Service which you agree the moment you join this forum. Moderation is always done with a valid reason, nothing else.

Without censorship, how are we going to address the complaints of some members who are sensitive about issues? How are we going to stop the dramas that can cause the forum to go downhill quickly and get a bad reputation if we don't censor wherever necessary? Censorship has its good and bad sides. You learn to live with it. It happens. It is simply our job to keep everything in order for the convenience of everyone.

Each of us perceive things differently. One may think he is not violating the rules but another thinks he does. We cannot always think the same way. This alone can cause quite a lot of issues however with good communication, issues can be ironed out rather quickly and smoothly.

In case you haven't noticed, we have rules around here.

Why cant it be on an open forum. I didnt say anything bad, no discrimination, just said I had a problem with this site and trying to figure it out. Im not going to hide anything and I dont belive this type of thread should be private. Cause private pms make it seem personal. I dont have a problem withanyone cause I cant see who is editing lol. And i doubt a bot can selectivly edit a post. If this is closed i wuld appreciate a explination. Not froma autobot pm..... :)
I think there are times when some threads like this serves as an eye-opener for members and staff members alike. While I cannot speak for the others, I appreciate you brought this to our attention. We learn something everyday. In the end, we have to be grateful some things are brought in the open and serves to at least open our minds and view points from different angles.

I just dont understand the reasoning behind that. Why not let the users chat. I mean isnt that what it all about? I wouldnt be able to ignore the fact that somone is changing my words, id rather it just be deleted.
The existence of the forum allows us to interact with people around the world but even the forums are given limitations to make sure everything is in order. Without rules, will there be a community at all? Will everything still be in order if we allow free rein to chat around?

If we allow random chit chats in certain threads such as Buy and Sell, will the buyer still proceed through pages of jabber when his main intention is to look for the item to buy and make clear that the seller still has it to avoid the confusion?

As for the sticky threads, I for one am not fond of reading through posts with compliments such as 'cool'. The sticky threads are there to relay information needed by everyone. Wading through pages of compliments is practically a waste of time and I am sure most people feel the same way about it which is why we have occasional cleanups done.

If you don't feel like your posts moderated, review your post before you submit to make sure the post as you view from different angles does not have questionable content to warrant moderation.

Most people choose to deal with troublemakers themselves. We have constantly reminded everyone to be careful where to tread. Most troublemakers are here to cause chaos and lead everyone involved into deeper trouble. If you don't want to be reprimanded by the moderators, simply report the posts and let the issue be dealt with by the mods. This is a much easier process without causing any melodramas.

I dont want to getinto the specifics and i really cant remember what was edited out. But is was something on one of Gar Kids post and I said he was full of it. I dont even think I used the words BS becuase i didnt want to piss anyone off.
Like some people say, the truth hurts. Thing is telling someone the truth he refuses to hear may lead the thread to spiral downward further and spark others to flame the guy, whether he has the attitude everyone hates or not. We don't want this to happen. This is a community. Again, the moderators keep track of any problematic users. We act on problems accordingly and promptly. I just see no reason why to ridicule a fellow member in public. It simply leads to deeper problems.

Nobody wants to go through pages of "cool" when they are looking for useful information.
Well pointed out. We have rules in Buy and Sell against derailing the topics. The main purpose of the threads created there is to sell, trade or give away the object, not to compliment over something and then making pages of random chit chats much to the inconvenience of a client as he reads through the thread making sure he gets what he is looking for.
 
Fully agreed with Lupin's above thread.

It really is annoying to be on the permanent look out for agression and flaming, as it really is annoying to have to go through 10 pages of "cools" in a sticky thread.
