Why do my topics on censorship on these forums keep getting..well, censored?

I was told if a post broke the forum rules it would get deleted and the person who made the post would be banned. I haven't broken any server rules, I've even read them twice after the_heart_attack generously gave me time to 'school' myself.

I thought you guys were into free speech and all?

I suggest you take some time to educate yourself on what "Free Speech" entails. Here's the cliff notes, however, since I forsee you simply running your mouth instead of actually takeing the time to learn something:

You have no free speech here.

In a public forum (speaking area, not "forums" like this website) you are allowed freedom of speech -- this forum (the website this time) however is NOT a public forum (still with me?) and thus you are NOT entitled to the luxury of speaking you mind outside of the boundries myself, other admins, and the mods believe is acceptable.

Ok, got it...I think.

Right, so on top of the forum rules (which I've read twice) there are also other rules but they are unspoken and depend on the moderator/admin, right?

Ok, understood - I'll definitely not break any forum rules (the written ones) and do some psychological profiling on you guys so I don't post anything you don't like in future.

Oh, one more thing, how do I get to be a mod?

Asking polite question/Clarifying rules/Trying to avoid future misunderstandings/Asking how to join = RESPECTFUL

You have to be a VERY active member of the forums.. and be picked specially by Chuy or any of the other admins..

it doesn't just happen automatically overnight.. its a long road to becoming a mod.. something that most of us will never see the end of

just watch out for the_heart_attack ... he has daily thread closure quotas to meet
and he serves bans for dessert


<immaturity>
and.. you got owned by chuy! nyeh nyeh

A forum that ANYONE in the world can register to and from any internet access point on the globe.  Sounds pretty much like a "public forum" to me, in fact you couldn't get much more public without investing millions on advertising.

chuyskywalker, I like these forums and think admin do a good job (most of the time) but trying to flex your "cyber muscles" is never a good look.

Having said that, keep up the good work.....

Ohh, let's play the 'extending analogies to far' game! So, by your same logic:

your stupid logic with a find and replace applied wrote:

So you won't have a problem if I start sending people over your place to tell you how much they enjoy banging your mother while bad mouthing your family heritage or other equally obscene or disrepecful things? K, just checking.

Just because you allow people into your private space DOES NOT revoke my right to kick people out for whatever damn reason I feel like. Make no mistake, this server, website, forums, and all are private property.

+ points for throwing in a cloaked "you must be a nazi and completely morally corrupt" subcontext right there.

Going back to the above logic, all those people I send into your house, don't even try to throw them out of YOUR residence since that would clearly not be acceptable and would make you out to be the anti-christ. mmkthnx

Chuys Reich has invaded yet another country of n00bs and taken them over (pwned them)
Heil Chuy!

chuy is a bit repressive, i'm thinking he's a power lovin guy. but then if were his lordship i'd have a million karma and my name would be half a screen high, shining AND rotating WITH an appropriately catchy theme tune...  In fact i'd rename the site chuyskywalkerisuberleetnotahaxorbigcockfitgirlfriend.s.com and force people to tick a box saying i'm cool EVERY time they enter the site. If i was the chuy.

That'd be www.ehowa.com , no?

[Edit:  above site was cool.. years ago.  Now, it's an exercise in seeing how many gray-area porn advertisements can fit on one page]

This is still going? As Chuy pointed out, these forums are private property, and all of us are allowed to post here through the good graces of Chuyskywalker and only Chuyskywalker. Nothing else. Free speech doesn't apply here, though I daresay you have to go pretty far to be 'censored', as you put it. Now, you were talking about respect, allow me to quote your oh-so-eloquent brother:

JohnnyBlanco wrote:

Fuck off you black/asian/chink/arab cunt...
This is the reason you were banned in the first place. Your brother posted an offensive statement, he was banned. You made an account with the same IP address, and you were mistaken for him and banned. End of story. Now if I might make a suggestion: drop this little crusade of yours and have a talk with your brother about this 'respect' thing you hold so dear, because it looks to me like he's a bit of an asshole.
