I only frequent one other forum, and this forum has only 3 rules, no porn, no racism and no spamming. As a result of this, I learn more from this forum than any other, everybodys viewpoints are accepted regarddles of how unpopular they are. There are creationists, holocostt-denyers, liberarians, atheists, white nationalists, black panthers etc.

There is no fun in a forum where everybody agrees and everyone is the same (this is how TLnet feels)

What I'm wondering is what you guys think of your teamliquid forum and the strict rules/mods. I've noticed that they r very sstrict and they do not give any leeway wheter its mild flaming or unpopular opinion.

I adamantiumly believe that forums should not be regulated so strictly, because it dissalows normal conversation. How are people supposed to learn whats right when they cant see whats wrong?

I know free speech doesn't apply to a privete site, but isn't that just a lame excuse for them to control what you say? Whats the point of postin on a site where only certain things are allowed to be talked bout, and mods have free rain to do whatever THEY feel. The mods are not an elected governing body, so why should they police the forums? I kno people will stil say "Its a privete site go off if u dun like", but i blieve in CHANGE and this forum is suffering from poor rules.

looking at the closed section of this site: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=0 I don't see alot of threads that merit locking.

If the thread is badly made or a repost, just let it die, theres stil a chance that people may want to respond or have a discussion on it. I realize its to reduce the trafic on the page, but come on, I see threds being locked because the mod said OP was not long enough.

Wake up TL. today its ur free speech, tomorro its anyone who thinks differently.

You should probably stop making these threads, your trolling is pointless.

sigh... Ridiculous. . Ive bene here since june 2008. I make highlight vids for starcraft and I have lots of fans on this site.

Carnac: Why don't you address any of the points I mentioned in this post?

Its really easy to just say "TROLL" rather than stop and think for a second about what I said.

There is no respect here for unpopuler opinions.

are we not allowed to believe what we want? Do you guys lock threads made by jewish people?
Do you lock all threads mentioning religious beliefs?

dinosaurios living with humans is a REAL BELIEF. The Vice president of USA was almost Palin and she believe in the same thing.

clearly, TL is run incorrectly. the massive number of people following and contributing to the community is purely coincidental and would increase tenfold if the moderators weren't so abusive.
