Regarding the locking of threads and censorship

stateofkane · 11-27-2008, 09:05 AM

Alright, I've noticed a lot of threads get locked on yahooka when there is an unpopular viewpoint, and also a lot of censorship and deleting of posts or partial deletion.

I find this ironic when many people on here complain of the destruction of our civil liberties, free speech, and this is a place of stoners. I am a poster on some conservative web sites where mods never delete or censor unless it is a direct personal attack or physical threat of violence. I would think they would be the ones more likely to delete unpopular viewpoints and silence any opposition.

Isn't that what prohibition is about too? I see prohibition almost as a form of censorship. It certainly gained traction by manipulating people and silencing anyone who opposed it. It was championed by the same people who were in favor of censorship in the media, and also intolerant people who were racist and xenophobic.

So what is the story? When did the mods get together and decide to act like the very people that they too complain about?

If this pertains to why my thread about thanksgiving is locked...

I locked it to keep out the children...its pretty obvious nobody was going to take it seriously, so I locked it and ill bump it for those who want the info, my threads are not a playground, if anybody else felt the same theyd do the same....

and yahooka isnt big on censorship, hence my membership here for so long(even though this is the 3rd ghm account, thanks to thcbuzz deleting my account because he had a stick up his ass that day)

anyway, you got it all wrong, leave it alone.....

/sigh

Members with green names (long timers) can lock their own threads. So therefore, everytime you see a locked thread, don't ASSUME it was a mod who closed it. I'm sure you're alluding to GHM's Thanksgiving thread...even though I posted in it, it wasn't closed by me. Sooo, yeah, unless you need a picture drawn...

i think he does

stateofkane · 11-27-2008, 10:11 AM

I was alluding to his Thanksgiving thread, but also the GodDegree insulted me in Obama won President thread but part of his post was deleted, and quite frankly I wanted to see what he had to dish out for me. It said, "no need for abuse", and I think people should have those posts unchanged so we can see them for who they are. There are other posts that are partially deleted as well, and I've seen people say things like, "damn, half of this thread just got deleted" and so forth.

11-27-2008, 10:29 AM

nobody asked you to join...

infact if im not mistaken some mod was kind enough put your register through, because its not just open to the public, your lucky to even be able to post here...

just to complain about how we do things?

You wont last a month...

Yeah, you mods are a tough assed crew. I am going to contact my congressman and report the cruelty that you bastards have put me through. Reminds me of Da Nang in the late 60's fer christs sake (Sorry JHC)

I demand my youth back from you turncoats and traitors!!

Oh wait. I was born in the eighties and I love disco

**Bud Head** · 11-27-2008, 06:55 PM

Born in the 80s? Shit you are still wearing diapers aren't you?LOL

we will give you your youth back once you have dropped the law suit and cancel your subscription to play boy.......

**Dandaweedman** · 11-27-2008, 07:34 PM

Damn you, I'll drop the law suit but the playboy? NEVER!

Yeah, and about the rest? mid 60's and I hate disco

WildWill · 11-28-2008, 08:22 AM

I've never seen a message board where the users DIDN'T complain about censorship and the moderators. Ever. It happens on every single message board, mostly because message boards are owned by individuals who set the rules. If you don't like it, start your own freaking board and make up the rules.

Captain Cannabis · 11-29-2008, 01:08 PM

mods are nazis!!
omg i can't believe you guys gassed the ghm thread.

Okay Hemingway, your threads are serious, and from now on, the Lord shall treateth them as such. The Lord hereby promiseth to never ridicule you in any thread you've deemed "serious," and have as a result, locketh.

The Lord will continue to ridicule you in other, "non-serious" threads.

I hopeth such graciousness on the part of the Lord sufficeth your unemployed, livin' at home with mom, easily bruiseth ego. Verily.

Peace & Love
