| Mordock.the.Benzite User Info... | I find it kinda wierd that a post saying that frog eyes, chet, the immaculate machine were shitty bands (or something like that) was deleted, yet someone like fuckface has slagged tonnes of bands and his posts remain. I've noticed that in the last month or so there has actually been many posts that have been deleted (including posts by people making fun of their own friends-in an inside joke sort of manner, or friends making fun of their own bands). There seems to be a lack of consistency in the actions of the moderators of this board, and I was just wondering what the deal was with that. My personal (and inconsequential)opinion is that no post should ever be deleted unless it is ACTUALLY harmful to somebody on the board (and hurt egos don't count). This is the internet for fuck sakes, and I expect no less than to see the dumbest shit at every turn. - Tue, 30 Dec 2003 9:59pm | ||
| XY-SATAN User Info... | This post soon to go missing . .....oh and I agree. - Tue, 30 Dec 2003 10:52pm | ||
| Moderator User Info... | In the case of the Seeking Musicians forum the idea is to keep it on topic. It is open to all genre of music, and is considered somewhat neutral. In other words, if your only purpose is to go there and insult the tastes of people searching for musicians, your post will be deleted. In the case of other deletions, sometimes on this board it is not only hard to differentiate between humor and offensive behaviour, but the board mods are busy people who cant read everything all the time. - Tue, 30 Dec 2003 11:20pm | ||
| cokeballs User Info... | Yeah, what is the deal with most people being total idiots? Boy, i can barely wait for the new Harry Potter movie to hit the theatres. Anyone want to go watch it with me? - Tue, 30 Dec 2003 11:21pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | idiot. - Wed, 31 Dec 2003 1:26am | ||
| XY-SATAN User Info... | Well if it's that hard to differentiate between humor and offensive behavior then you do have problems . Most people on here know each other and the majority of folks are just goofing on each other . Since the log on has been implemented most of anonymous slagging has ceased, that with the exit of a lot of posters . Heavy handed moderating ISN�T going to help in a already floundering forum .

| Nik Olaz User Info... | i made fun of those bands. ahha. but i'll say this: censorship is for whiny girls. and i love when i post something stupid and people freak outat me. its funnier than the post i made. - Wed, 31 Dec 2003 12:44pm | ||
| Moderator User Info... | Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But the Seeking Musicians forum is a tool which bands and musicians of all genre's should feel comfortable in using, without being anonymously insulted by fans of different forms of music. That particular forum is moderated seperately from the rest of the forums just for that reason. A similar approach is used in the Gear Buy And Sell forum. - Wed, 31 Dec 2003 1:22pm | ||
| Mordock.the.Benzite User Info... | I'm pretty sure that I've seen posts disappear from both SHOW REVIEWS and SHAMELESS (but I could be wrong). Ross Bay seems to be a little out of his element on the humour front, COKEBALLS in all his various guises is even funnier than the last S.I. show (yeah I saw you rocking out to the Nu-metal band) - Wed, 31 Dec 2003 1:40pm | ||
| Moderator User Info... | It is possible that some posts have gone missing accidently. But there are also multiple moderators on the board now so it is hard to say. What one mod leaves, another may delete. Ip's are logged, but to my knowledge nobody has ever been banned. - Wed, 31 Dec 2003 2:18pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | Well, as a member of Frog Eyes, I personally would vote for not removing offensive messages. a) We're all growed up now and pissy posts on the intarweb don't make us cry... anymore. 2: Any press is good press. Last- Nik is a wanker. Gman - Wed, 31 Dec 2003 2:43pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | correction: i'm a wankster. - Wed, 31 Dec 2003 3:33pm | ||
| Livevic Scott User Info... | Sometimes posts will get moved to the quarintine board as well so if ya don't see something its possibly there as well. As far as consistancy goes its pretty much up to the personal opinion of the moderators. So as a rule of thumb if your saying something asinine its possible it will get deleted, we all realize you all know each other for the most part which is why a good majority of these asinine comments stay, but sometimes an inside joke might get delteted but considering its an inside joke on a public board, deal with it. I don't think anyone can say that any real informative or thought provoking discussion has been deleted ever even when the topics got risque. - Fri, 2 Jan 2004 12:52am | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Gman: I can't see the Chet or IM crew getting that worked up about it, either..... - Fri, 2 Jan 2004 4:20pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | KG: Don't be so sure about Chet - these guys have a reputation to uphold and AFAIK, aren't afraid to Do What It Takes, if you catch my drift. Nik: Sorry- I stand corrected, wankster. Gman - Mon, 5 Jan 2004 10:48am | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | i don't think posts should ever be deleted if they're posted in the right categories. The only thing that pisses me of is when some jackass posts a rental classified in every category and gets away with it. Moderators should delete those ones, not ones that slag bands. Everyone should be able to have a voice. In terms of the seeking shows category....what a joke. That section of the messageboard has been going down hill for a while now. . - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 12:53pm | ||
| Nik Olaz User Info... | thank god someone would call me by what i was. I can be at peace with my cellular phone and bling-bling - Wed, 7 Jan 2004 1:40pm | ||
| 69 User Info... | Censorship of ANY kind sucks big time! - Sat, 10 Jan 2004 7:34pm | ||
| KnifeGhost User Info... | Gman: Are you saying I should watch my kneecaps? - Mon, 12 Jan 2004 12:37pm | ||
