"Censoring (ahem *monitoring*) posts!!"

I have read a couple of posts written over the last few days which have concentrated on setting up moderators in these forums. This in itself is not a problem, what is getting to me is that people are suggesting that these posts are suggesting that moderators should be able to get rid of the drivelling chatter which takes place in these forums.

People can say what they like, where they like and when they like, as long as it is not offensive and generally nasty to other people. This is called the "Freedom of Speech", whether someone else finds what people say irrelevent or not has nothing to do with it, if you don't want to read posts which have no meaning, then don't, that is a way by which people can moderate theselves and what they read.

I do not believe that people should be prevented from posting in any forum or in any thread, this is a serious issue, fair enough it may not be on the colossul scale of political prisoners in China, but the priciple is fundamentally the same.

Someone's not very quick off the mark!

I said when I was a newbie that 3 days was too quick to become a regular, but it happened, but it hasn't made any difference to me. I think that there has to be set number of days also, maybe only about 25, but at least it may go a long way to stopping newbies posting rubbish just to become regulars, and threads like this may then become obsolete, but then I started this because I was annoyed at another regular, so.....

Funny how newbies hate the clas system, and say they think it's pointless, but all can't wait until they become a regular.

Well, I'll tell you this: It ain't nothing special, kid!

I too was once nieve enough to think that way...

It appears you still have much to learn about the FOG forum :)

:P

What do you mean - little incident then hmmmm? Go on, tell us.

Armitage, it doesn't matter to me who's idea, it is a good one.

This isn't your crappy Gameplay or IGN forums. The FOGs are intelligent forums, and stupidity will not be tolerated.
