The filtered quasi-reality that is "war reporting" is a decent place to start. Not to mention other places in the world where true censorship is a problem. Much like AnthonyS, it just pisses me off when people whine about "censorship" on private forums that they joined voluntarily. There's too much real censorship in the world to start whining about not getting a hug on an online forum.

But the claim was that the news "in this country" was completely censored crap. Not the rest of the world, here. So who is doing the censoring?

(and I am more than willing to agree that the news in this country is complete crap....but that is a different topic.)

The OP could do like Jay & Silent Bob when they got royalty money and hunt down/ retrieve every blogger/poster who disrespected or censored them on line and beat the hell out of them (including a priest).

You can use run-on sentences, but you can't hide indefinitely on the interweb.

My thread got pulled out and it was fair. I admit, I cried a bit about it then it passed.

Only fools never change their minds and I'll never change my mind about that.

Do you actually beleive the BS you spew sometimes "Decorum does matter here" - funny "Truth does matter here" - if this was the case you wouldnt censor so much. censorship often results in untruth. there are instances where censorship is required but sure as hell not on a triathlon forum. THe bottomline for you guys is the financial bottomline. You dont care about truth and decorum (what bs) you care about traffic and keeping industry folks happy so they dont cut ads and drive traffic elsewhere. This site is a communication tool second and money maker first which is unfortunate as the forum is the best part of the entire site, which has been pointed out to you on numerous occasions recently. People avoid homepage all together to come directly to a forum that is being censored to the point where only warm and fuzzy stuff is given approval. Your rampant censorship is opening the door for another forum to takeover. I am not debating whether Slowman has the right to censor or if it is his property. He does not own the discussion, opinions, and ideas being written. I would just like to see less (no) censorship on the forum. The shit being censored is such a joke, particularly the most recent examples i noted. You comparison of the differences between Stockhouse and Slowtwitch shows your inexpereince with stockhouse.

A forum like Stockhouse is sort of the ultimate expression of "publicly available information being taken into consideration in the price of a security." - the info on stockhouse is so much more, the info being share goes beyond the public realm, insider info is posted regularly, ceos comment, IR people are present, the emotion of the forum on big news, rumour or extreme market conditions, and the pump and dump scemes going on. The info that can be teased out of stockhouse is good stuff. Discussion are allowed to go in all directions. I would suggest you spend some time there as it will provide you with an example of a forum that has energy, knowledgable people, real uncensored info, usefulness. Again, there have been numerous posts regarding the lack of energy or interesting post on slowtwitch, censorship has likely contributed to this. You guys are killing something good. in other forums outside of slowtwitch to know that this forum is dying a slow death and that it is lacking big time, particularly in the regard to the censorship, parameters put on discussion, etc. Just my opinion.

To everyone else, it is probably time to get off your knees and let Slowman and other mods. get back to censoring this forum.

Good grief. Go away or contribute or lurk. Your choice.

Dan & ST has no moral or legal obligation to put up with shit like yours.

Like which one? BT? Ahh, I crack myself up sometimes.

For the rest of your rant: cool story, bro.

wait. Isn't that every internet forum?

.




Here is a bit of data from alexa.com - Slowtwitch sure aint growing. I am sure the censorship and forum manipulation will help with that. Industry will be happy but there wont be anyone on the site so they will pull their ads. anyway.

Are you a lonely, bored 12 year old boy who's parents put a porn filter on your computer? Looking for some attention?

If not I can't figure out for the life of me why you are saying this stupid shit.

I cant believe so many support censorship. Pointing out needless censorship is stupid shit?

Pointing out needless censorship over needless discussions is indeed stupid shit.

That statement implies there is an assumption of freedom of speech with no consequence. That doesn't exist, anywhere.

People who post here generally know this isn't a public place at all. We don't expect to be able to say whatever we want. I can't figure out where you got the idea that you could.

Are you talking about this thread: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/..._reply;so=ASC;mh=25;

What happened there was that Dan deleted, at Challenge's request, a copy-paste of a Challenge press release that they had mistakenly posted online prior to the official announcement.

The reason no one complained was that they understood that the deletion was made as a courtesy.

You can call it censorship if you like, but if Slowtwitch operated the way you want it to - with no courtesy, and no moderation to get rid of the snake oil sellers, or libelers, or offensive idiots - the discussion would quickly devolve, and I personally wouldn't spend any time here.

Actually, the slowtwitch homepage is the best information on Triathlon available on the internet (or anywhere else for that matter). Unfortunately, for you, it doesn't have any info about stock markets. I also find it highly humorous that someone who spends his life on stock market forums, accuses Dan of thinking money first. Why are you here again?

Nailed it.

This isn't 4chan and thank god for that.

Why don't you go back to /b/ with all of your fellow basement dwelling neckbeards.

Cheers,

This is his "business" - pays the bills for Slowman, Herbert and Jordan. This is a "propaganda" machine, just like every news channel.

Do you think Rapp would be as high profile triathlete without ST? He's got the marketing savy, so probably yes, but he seems to be doing more for the Rapp brand being on slowtwitch then his actual racing.

What else do you worry about during the day?

You don't think that Jordan's race results don't speak for themselves?!? What planet do you live on?

You are kidding, right? First, ST has a huge following, but, no one outside of tri knows about it. In the tri scene, the percentage of athletes who spend time here is quite small. We like to think every triathlete visits here, but most I talk to don't even know about the site.

Second, are you nuts? The guy wins everything he enters! He does not need ST to gain a following.

Finally, ST gives us shlubs access to top level pros like Jordan. He doesn't need us, but, we are damn lucky to have him.

I just blew coffee out of my nose... If I weren't already married, I think I'd ask for your hand just based on this comment! Nice...


Oh, and to "Peterot": I was actually following this thread and listening to your BS right up until you insulted (or tried to) a professional athlete who takes time frequently to come on here and post advice and guidance to us wanna-be's. Even taking the time to answer personal questions with personal emails. As a retired pro-athlete (different sport) I admit I rarely ever did that. I've only been a member of ST Nation for about a year and a half, but based on your comments I think it's my right to tell you to go to hell, you don't belong here.
