with this whole "we decide your limits to free speech" thing, if i was to say these 'commandments' were done in poor taste, the attempts at humor were annoying at best, and they are pretty damned stupid overall...would i get banned? purely hypothetical question...honest | ||

Absolute free speech is a state of affairs that does not exist anywhere on this planet. A very generous degree of free speech presumes a level of responsibility and ability to self-regulate a significant portion of the people who frequent this site simply do not possess. So we prefer a restricted form of "free speech." Does this irritate some of our members? Heck yeah. But, in the final analysis, it's better this way. There is always a trade-off. We are certainly a bit less popular because of our constant monitoring of the forums. But, we don't care. We have simply chosen quality over quantity. This is our choice to make. You are always free to visit other sites with more lenient posting policies. | ||

You are always free to visit other sites with more lenient posting policies. was this directed at me? if so - most of what you said is incorrect. absolute free speech exists in any non-hierarchal group (sorry, but being ridiculed is not a hindrance on your free speech, nor is cliquish behavior no matter how wrong it may be) so to assume a hierarchy in this site is very arrogant thing to do, and it turns this from a non-hierarchal community to discuss whatever into, well, what you intended, a rigid governmental type institution. i've been to plenty of forums, and in my experience, when admins and site owners suddenly decide they have a government and immediately begin imposing rules beyond the obvious (spamming and posing?) the goers of the site become disgustingly fake and monotonous. this thread itself is a perfect example, i shudder to think how soggy your ass must be with how many times it's been kissed. i have no idea what your supposed "analysis" is, or if it even exists, but once again, when rules are lenient beyond the obvious the site will become more honest and motley...this is, of course, my experience in practically every group setting i've ever been associated with (and with how many places i've moved to, believe me, its a lot). im certain the bw.com forums scare you, as they should, but had spam, posing, and a very VERY lenient sense of trolling get banned (as well as not having psycho's for admins) that site would have been fine. quality over quantity? don't make me laugh, that statement is to ridiculous i wont even bother. i also find it funny you said this would make you unpopular, again that is absolutely ridiculous, it will have the reverse effect, and you're too smart of a person (or you put on airs of such) to not already know that. and like i said, them being 'ten commandments' itself is very distasteful. if not - read the if so anyway, cause yeah, most of what you said is incorrect. | ||
