No one wants to pay for ad space on a forum full of trash and douche bags.

Honest question because I brought this up to Dan a few weeks ago. Do you feel ST is going downhill? I've thought I have noticed the amount of respect seems to be lacking over the past 6 months or so. Dan, disagreed and thought the quality was the highest it has ever been.

I just took a peak at the Chicago cheating thread and the first message I see is another message by judge, jury and executioner (aka Slowman). Holy Faq I am not sure why you feel the need. If people are out of line let the legal system deal with them. The forum I view most often is Stockhouse and it is actually quit common that companies to take legal action against posters. You dont see power hunger moderators taking over and getting involved. The only threads/posts deleted are spam and all else goes. It is very refreshing compared to Slowtwitch in that regard. Given the forum is about the stock market and people losing and making money you can just imagine how negative things can get on there.

Please, if a post is out of line or illegal than let the legal system deal with it and stay the faq out of it. This goes to your staffers as well. You have no legal obligation to censor the forum like you do. If you feel you have some sort of moral or ethical obligation, get over it. The most evil things put on this forum would be consider light-hearted on Stockhouse and many other forums.

It seems almost every thread i read now there is something censored.

"Slowman = Censorship"

Is that an assignment or comparison operator? I'm confused. In either case I suspect you have a type mismatch.

i don't know if you expected to be banned or not for this thread, but, no, you're not banned, because you said nothing that warrants a ban. furthermore, there's nothing about this thread that requires any censorship.

but when i and my moderators, in our sole judgment, think a thread or a post or a user is out of line or inappropriate, we'll do what we feel is best. your protestations are not going to change that. period.

Though I think you might have been better off posting it here - http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...post=1566945#1566945

I'm positive that I wasn't the only one that knew what that was linked to without clicking on it - greatness!

I really hate people like you. I mean, seriously, I hate you. This is a private website and a private business. The owner is allowed to do however they wish. You can leave if you don't like it.

Now you know why I hate people like you? I'll tell you. Our news in this country is completely censored crap, and where is your outrage about that? You're a coward picking on a private business. Sack up and face real problems and real censorship.

Aw, Snap. QFT.
