mods and free speech

[fastbow]

For the record, If you are a moderator, I want to know what your free speech stance is, how many people you have banned, and how many threads you have locked. This should give users a good idea of where our leaders here on Newgrounds stand, and keep our leaders themselves honest......

This site is not covered by free speech laws. It is a privately owned website.

Free speech is great. I love the idea of it. Always have.

how many people you have banned

Countless hordes on these boards.

and how many threads you have locked.

I rarely lock. I favor deletion over locking. It's so much more tidy.

I think I see where you're trying to go, and.....

These are private boards. We do as we're asked, and after that, the rest is up to us. There is no free speech here. Say what you like, but it's a private BBS.

So the both of you will honestly say you have never banned a user or locked or deleted a thread, just because you didn't agree with something they said?

I know I would, if nothing more than for shits and giggles. And I mean, its a friggin message board and its only 3-4 days. Who really cares?

Your expecting to much on a private BBS moderated by volunteers.

But should they really be in a position of authority here if they are hypocritical, and abuse their power?

Ohh, man. And what mod so far has said they are hypocritical so far and abuse their power?

I said I would but then again I am not a mod and speak for none.

And yes we need them. Silence is reason enough, even though I find him personally entertaining. And go to general. See some of the crap they talk about. Yeah, we need mods.

[fastbow]

I know we need them, but if they support free speech and abuse power for personal reasons, shouldn't they be held accountable for their hypocracy?

Which one has said they did that first of all.

Second, who cares. Its a message board.

Third, they are allowed to. They are mods.

Fourth, its a message board. Who cares. Its not like we cant talk about anything contrevertsial.

[fastbow]

Im sorry. I guess it's too much to ask for some accoutability and integrity in authority?

[Jimsween]

It's a messageboard, a messageboard on a website about flash games. And usually, the bans don't last more than a day or two.

The accountability that exists, the fact that if a mod is an ass then people will know that and probably wont like that mod, is more than enough.

A hoard of idiots like you make more rules and upset mods easier so you can look even stupider.

This is a private board and you agree to the TOS when you sign up or you wouldn't be here.

Mods can do what they wan't, some of it might be against the rules, but they're mods.
