Professional and neutral as in banning posters who post contrary opinions (as in places we all know), or professional and neutral where the posters aren't censored at all (as in SC)? Are you reading my posts? I am not defending this forum. What's is this? Straw man and red herring attack LA? |

Where do you suggest most of us go when the plug is pulled here? Not there. Simple enough? |

Sure did. Non admin users can get the site owner to force avatars on people they don't like, or they have to leave. All the others without one can stay though. you can pay for the same privilage at somethingawful forums, btw its free here we posted a poll on the subject asked for submissions and did our best to invite prok into our community but, in order for certain people to exisit, they have to be contrary he flat out refused to pick an avatar... he can select his own avatar any time he is ready (something you cannot do once an avatar has been purchased for you at something awful, btw) he just no longer has the option of "no avatar" and thats the price we pay for freedom at SC so get an avatar already! _____________________

how about the admin making sweet love to coco? she was forced right? and Alex was the alt... a benign character FIC is the main dood... alex is the alt hes been here the whole time, you just didnt see his badge because its the wild wild west over there, no need to flash a badge when everyone has the same weapons No. Alex was the admin. Fic.tional was his alt participating in threads in a non-neutral fashion. We don't know that he won't do it again. Uncool. I highly recommend that people don't go there unless they are looking for a Second Life version of Something Awful. If that's what a particular person is looking for, I'll send them on over myself. I am simply saying that it's not some great font of knowledge about Second Life. It's more like comic relief for those who are into Andrew Dice Clay. |

Not there. Simple enough? Yeah, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. SC is about the freedom to say anything you want without fear of reprisal in the form of edited posts or banning. Argue your points loudly and as long as you want. Anyone is welcome, one rule only: get a fucking avatar so the people arguing against you can draw their gun on the right person instead of being a generic asshole with a 'no avatar' shot. The lack of moderation is what drew me there and I feel assured that the only moderator will stay open to anyone expressing their opinion in any way they choose to do so. But, if you prefer to be censored, go somewhere else. _____________________

welcome back to the Forums, Prok. If it is, he must be sticking forks in his hands to stop himself giving us page long monologues. _____________________

this is hardly the first time users are allowed to give another an avatar its a paid service at something awful forums (that cant be changed by the user) we as a community asked him nicely he refused he insulted us, repeatedly came in world and called us degenerates with almost 1,000 posts under his belt, he said he wouldnt make his home there we took a poll, and the community said that if someone refused to get an avatar, one should be selected we had a thread where people suggested avatars for him one was chosen from that thread (thanks gabe) he can select an avatar if he chooses, and it will stay there but he chooses to spit in his hosts face while using his host to further spread his propoganda no one gets banned at secondcitizen, so the host should have some recourse when someone is using them as a vehicle for thier own objectives while refusing to wipe their shoes and tracking mud all over the hosts carpet so, um, all he has to do is choose an avatar and not put himself on the outside looking in and insult those of us who enjoy the forums Well, you almost sounded as I imagine some of the conversations in the Lindens' offices would sound. Unfortunately when you start thinking that 'the host should have some recourse' when you are operating a forum, then you have already succumbed to the mindset like the one which has led to the mess we are all experiencing at the moment. Sorry to sound jaundiced, but I am in a jaundiced frame of mind at the moment. _____________________

To sum up, you have no sense of humour and don't like these or any other forums? Again you speak for me. I did not say I *don't like these or any other forums*. If I give my recommendation I will be accused of trying to sell it. I have a sense of humor that is above a 14 year old level. It's alive and well, believe me, my friends and I are not prudes when it comes to our conversations. Not in the least. It's mostly about quantity man. It's like the guy who says *fuck* every other word. Eventually it loses its power. |

It's all Alex asks. _____________________

Sorry to sound jaundiced, but I am in a jaundiced frame of mind at the moment. hey man, its a lot of fun over there, and it is truly liberating to say what you want without fear of losing your SL most boards are heavily moderated, and that is their recourse we got a thing for avatars over there regardless, he can still post, and more importantly, he can select his own avatar when he is ready to be part of the community and not "above" the communting speaking at us with a megaphone look at his post count, listen to him tell how the only people posting there are scum of the earth (which is hillarious when u factor in his post count) he has been there long enough ... we are all in it together... except prok now hes in it to... hes got an avatar so he can truly be among us, not above us get it yet and why its such a big deal to us that he get an avatar and stop talking at us? i hope you do, it is reasonable _____________________

SC is about the freedom to say anything you want without fear of reprisal in the form of edited posts or banning. But the admin might go into your personal account details and change stuff? one rule only: get a fucking avatar so the people arguing against you can draw their gun on the right person instead of being a generic asshole with a 'no avatar' shot. why, cant they read your name? they have to have a pictorial reference to recognise you? what would happen if two people chose the same forum avatar? Confusion reigns!  But, if you prefer to be censored, go somewhere else. And if you don't want people accessing your personal details and changing stuff around, go somewhere else? _____________________

Woah!
I'm staying away from that place too. What a bunch of immature jackals! Okay, I take that back - they're not all immature jackals, some are self-deluded megalomaniacal midgets. Funny how they all end up in one place isn't it? |

I won't be going back there after this crap with the cool clique having the site owner go into someone's account and force an avatar on them. It's not about all these diversion tactics like censorship, moderation, my like or dislike for this forums or any other. Its about horrible administration. It's more *FIC* than even these forums. |
