Slowman = Censorship
 
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.

STOP THE CENSORSHIP

Dude, Slowman rocks. He and the Rapper and little Herb keep this place mellower than most forums. Hell, I would bet you a fiver I won't be around in a few months time and I am only a moderate douchebag. His house, his rules.
 
Re: Slowman = Censorship [peterot] [ In reply to ]
 
Are people posting under their real name on those sites, or do they use a "screen" name?

You don't like it... then there's the door. Bye Bye

Like it or not... its is Slowman's house so to speak. You may not like it, but he likes a sense of peace and decorum, which is why this forum does not devolve into Road Warrior like nature.

Even if it is inconsistent... It is his rules... his house. We are guests. Don't forget to wipe your feet before entering and for God's sake, flush and light a candle if you have a real stink to let go.

You are a guest. He gets to set the rules.

From a practical standpoint, he absolutely has an interest in keeping this place reasonable sane. He doesn't do this out of the goodness of his heart. This is a business. He sells ad space. No one wants to pay for ad space on a forum full of trash and douche bags.

Slowman is way more chilled about posts than other forums I've visited. I have no issue with his censoring, I only like to know what/why it was censored. In the Chicago Tri forum, I actually brought up the OP's issue about posting annoymous and he seemed to only want to give his info in a PM to me. In an accusation like that, you cant hide behind your screen name, so I had no issue with what he did.

Stockhouse is full of people doing illegal things. It is a dirty dirty forum but really useful if you are into trading stocks, particularly day trading. Even biggest scum bags provide valuable information. That is my point. All info provided is useful in some way to someone. If it is illegal it can be dealt with by the proper authorities.

This is going to end well, I can already tell.

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.

You wanna bet. And the posts being deleted are hardly trashy or douchbaggy. Please, this forum is full of tight asses and couldnt even get out of control if it wanted to.
 
Re: Slowman = Censorship [BDoughtie] [ In reply to ]
 
As someone else suggested on another thread with an identical topic, there should be an island of misfit threads hanging out behind a paywall where people who are interested can support the site financially in exchange for looking at some potentially iffy material. Kind of like porn for people who like triathlon scandals...

That explaination made me laugh. It's full of illegal things and it's a "dirty" forum, but it still provides some valuable info.

I don't. I think it is cyclical. People get bitchy during certain times of the year. I seem to remember just a few years ago when it was REALLY bad. There were quite a few characters who are long gone.

I think it has been pretty good, overall, which the occasional losing of the mind every now and then.

I have to disagree. I cannot recall a single thread of any redeeming value that was removed for the sake of censorship. If anything, I have been surprised how far some threads have been allowed to progress.

"If people are out of line let the legal system deal with them."

Seems a bit extreme for a blog and an opportunity to express your opinion or share an idea.

Legal system really????
