I've always seen it as a prison, pretty much like that of the series Prison Break; there is disorder from time to time and it won't be a big of a deal unless it is something really serious. Otherwise there's always room for the users to be creative, make stuff out of nothing (like making hand made knives), get important shit from exterior sources (like smuggling drugs into prison) there will always be some corrupted mod (which hands important stuff to a selected group of users which he trusts, most likely the vets) and as always, bash on the fish and teach them the rules of the game. This is why old posters are favored, they already for a part on the big family. lol prison break. <3 | ||

Kim Kardashian (whothefuckareyouian?) does a paris and sexes someone on TV, Klu Klux Klan, papparazis lying in bushes shoving their cameras as far up the celebrity vagina as they can possibly reach, puke-porn, Jerry Springer, etc Too much of anything is not good, and that includes freedom. Besides the KKK (lawl I love that name), I don't see how any of what you mentioned relates to free speech.. Freedom also means you are free to ignore any of the things you listed. | ||

I would be a much happier person if shit like Jerry Springer with his "I married a lesbian hebrew transsexual" topics didn't effing exist. I'm a grumpy old man of 25 years. If you lived in an authoritarian government, whose ideology was built on puke porn and talk-shows for blacks and rednecks, you would have no other choice but to watch that while being forced to play with your plastic celebrity vagina replication. I am also 25, and I know where you are coming from with this, but freedom is something you would not be able to live without, believe me. | ||

Free speech prevents the government from censoring what we say. Although we all have a lot of respect for the admins/mods, they are not the government. They are not required to offer the users of tl 'free speech'. | ||

actually i dont even know how to describe my situation. i get banned from teh strat section. I didnt realize i was posting sht until AFTER i get a permanent ban. I try to apoligize and add that I was NEVER FUCKING NOTIFIED, NOT ONE WARNING. Then I get a mssg like "if the quality is obviously that bad, then i dont give warnings". I understand bad quality, but not even a warning? I didnt want to drag the situation further because i really dont care anymore... I like how TL is run, but i agree sometimes it can be very uptight. | ||

Your comments in the first four or five threads from the bottom up are horrible. D players shouldn't be giving out tips, especially shit like countering lurkerling with REAVERS? For everyone in general, if you're unsure of why you got temped, that means you're not thinking when you're posting and you probably deserve it. | ||

more active forum is more important than a thoughtful forum. right... i guess trolling forums > smart and polite forums huh? if u can't add any more substance to the topic matter then you shouldn't post and if posting in such a instance would be wat u consider an active forum i would not want to have to have anything to do w/ such forums It's true that the intention of a pm is that it's supposed to be private, but if the receiver does tell other people, it's not like one can or should be able to stop them. It's like giving someone a secret threat in a dark alley and punishing him again if he tries to speak out. friggin dumb analogy... so i guess revealing PM's w/o the consent of other person is like a computer takes in ur credit card number and all ur private info and displays it on the scrns in times sq rite? freedom of speech doesn't mean u should be a douche nor does it mean that you have the freedom to release other people's private messages btw if and when u get banned the msgs r put up in the ban thread (correct me if i'm wrong) On June 07 2009 14:49 datscilly wrote: It seems like most people here favor the level of moderation that goes on in tl while acknowledging that it's harsh (and that's good, they say). However, have you been on the receiving end of it? The pm I read (out of context) seemed inappropriately harsh, and I though there could have been a better way to deal with it rather than to lose a member. I disagree. The internet, one could argue, was made for free speech. also ever heard of china? haha | ||
