I'm bored, and felt like making a thread. So, here one is.

Too (temporarily) avoid it being locked, I'll fill in some empty space with the usual empty conversation that normally takes place in Chit Chat.

However, I'm feeling kind of depressed, and just realized (after deleting about 6 different tangents I wanted to go on to avoid controversy) that I have nothing 'worthwhile' to say. 'Worthwhile' being defined as by what I feel the Mods/Admins will allow.

Which I guess brings me to a new topic.

wtf is up with free speech? Fck censorship.

There. Hopefully this will go somewhere. Even if it is nowhere. Either way, I'll be there.

EDIT: omfg... I *just* changed my custom title. Like 5 minutes ago. This is the first post I've made since then, and the word 'FORUM' is *****'ed out. WTF.

ANOTHER EDIT: I just realized it may be because they want to avoid people putting stuff like 'Forum Moderator' as their custom title >_>

Haven't you ever noticed nobody under 18 gets any decent rights?

[NFD]

That may be it.

Also free speech is a right you're born with, so nothing is "up" with it.

[-zeroSKILL-]

Here, let me clarify: What the f*ck is up with our lack of a right to free speech?

[NFD]

Well, it has to stop at an extent. Like, you can deliberately be cruel when speaking to a person because it infringes on their rights.

LMFAO at OnixRose's post
Also, stfu and don complain about the "speech" stuff. its not gonna go anywhere. Pplz find the way i speak to be disrespectful and inappropiate while i find it to be "normal".

[-zeroSKILL-]

And as long as I'm not doing that I should be okay. But guess what? Not the case -.-

I could easily write 5 words in here and get this thread locked. And I'm pretty sure I can get this thread locked, and myself banned with 4.

Meh...

All I'm saying is, it's unfair to feel like you have something legitimate to discuss (even if brought up in a sarcastic asshole kind of way) then sit there and think about how a couple people sitting at home might not like what I have to write. Perhaps they decide it's not 'suitable' for others to read. Apparently those people think the internet is a wonderful land full of gumdrops, kittens, and teddy bears. And I have to sit here, and edit my post, before I even post it to appeal to their sense of what is right, therbey giving up my own 'rights'.

Lovely.

EDIT: Triple ninja'd... lulz

ANOTHER EDIT (for replies, since I just double posted):

Nice white text. I guess you too realize that any kid with access to the internet isn't 'innocent'. lulz.

Ummm... Did I forget to mention this was going to be the typical Chit Chat thread where no real discussion takes place, and is just full of empty debate/conversation??

*checks*

Nope. It's right there. Post #1. Go look.

Meh... I guess I'll try and see how long I can keep this alive though -.-

In response to you saying it won't go anywhere. Awesome attitude. While I realize complaining about it on these forums won't do a damned thing, I feel it IS something people should at least recognize happens to them. And nothing will ever be done about it if people just shut their mouths and accept that we're being shafted our natural born rights.

And I find the way you write to be immature, arrogant, and sloppy. If you'd classify any of those three things as 'disrespectful and inappropriate' then I'd agree with 'pplz'.

Staff doesnt control, nor think they can control the internet. Anyone who thinks they can CONTROL the internet, needs to get help. All we do here is moderate/monitor the stuff that goes here.

If there's something you need to say, that isn't "suitable" for these forums, I'm pretty sure the internet is big enough for you to find somewhere that wouldn't mind having it.

Btw, this isnt an attack at you, so dont take any of that personal.

1st of all who ever doesn't think the internet is a wonderful land full of gumdrops, kittens, and teddy bears is dumb, because it is.

2nd forums are a privilege not a right, everyone has to abide by the rules written for each specific forum just as everyone has to abide by different rules, laws, and regulations in every aspect of life. Get used to it.

edit: also your line of thinking is absurd, you're basically saying it's ok to go anywhere and say anything we want is our right no matter how disrespectful vulgar etc. it may be. I don't even want to bother going any farther than that

This thread is gonna get really funny later on when everyone wakes up.

I realize all of that. Been a Mod myself. I let everything slide, and stuck to keeping people on topic. I didn't give a damn how you presented your ideas (as long as it was coherent) I allowed it. Stray off topic? Post got deleted, not thread locked.

And I don't see how I could have taken any of that as a personal attack :/

It's also full of far wondrous things than that my friend .

Also... Again. Been a Mod. I know. I just feel like complaining, and needed a place to do it. I'm not really targetting this forum, or even the internet as a place of censorship... It's just the thing that got me thinking about the topic.

Bored minds will wander. I think mine's strayed a bit too far though. If something doesn't entertain it soon, I'm gonna lose it.

EDIT:

Hmm... I wonder how many of the 153 posts I've made I've edited to avoid double posting? :/

If it isn't locked by then >_>

Honestly, I have like 2:3 ratio of threads locked to threads started. And I think I've started 6 threads. I've kinda given up hope that I can ever have any fun in the Forums for any length of time, which is the main reason I stayed away from them. But now.. With MP down all the time, Profile Chat a cluster f*ck of teenagers writing the most inane crap I've ever seen, and my recent perma ban from VC... Well. Get used to me -.-

Trust me, I'd far rather be in VC right now. Hopefully Synth reads his PM's soon and fixes stuff *prays for a miracle*


So good, I had to quote it twice.

it's cool that you create a thread with the intention of getting it locked because you used to be a moderator, that makes it cool.

I never have the intention of getting it locked. I just never stay within the guidelines I suppose :/

meh

I was kind of over forums after I left the other site. I Modded it for 3 years. Stopped visiting regularly about 2 years ago. I still drop in about twice a year. Usually just to renew my subscription, since I actually like the site, and loved the community. But for Gods sake... It's just too much too baby sit a bunch of adults.

Science sites typically attract adults. I was 13 when promoted to Mod. Those adults aren't much worse than you kids. The rules are just a lot more strict and the punishments are a lot less forgiving here. You could typically get a suspenion/ban lessened or removed simply by apologizing and acknowledging you overstepped your bounds, and as long as there wasn't a repeat instance, your name was cleared.

I don't like having a seemingly primarily teenage staff onboard this site. Promotes power abuse and encourages biased judgments.

The best thing that ever happened to the site was having Tass become an Admin. Honestly, he and Squeek are the only ones I've noticed doing a damn good job here. devonin would get some credit, if I didn't get that air of arrogance while reading his posts.

Sprite- does a fantastic job also, but you didn't mention him.

[rzr]

Rough...

[-zeroSKILL-]

I actually talk with Sprite- though. Dom knows I think he's awesome. Hell, he was number one on my friends list for a while. Only slightly demoted. Number two now ;o

But I'm sure it'd make him feel happy to see some public appreciation.

So... Dom you're amazing. Thank you for ever entering my life. I'd be lost without you <3 (no homo).

Also, shout out to another person onboard the FFR staff I felt already knew how I felt about them. Troy (MalDON). I f*cking love you. secks me nao. This site would fall apart if it weren't for your amazing coding skills. Synth needs to recognize just how good you are, and allow you to toy with the Flash stuff so we can finally see some new features implemented here.

I still remember how you got me wet... Oh yeah bby. <3
(inside joke, Slaughter World reference, Universal Studios, etc. Nothing dirty. Unless you want it to be ;3)
