Why is the post not blocked yet ?

I take TS' comment as a reference to anyone who has been barraged by nutters in TO with a megaphone, while you're waiting eagerly at the crosswalk for the light to turn green. I get it.

I am curious is that the goal?

It's one thing for members to leave it's another when they say they are leaving for specific reasons.

I guess I am trying to stop the bleed but I get the feeling many on here want to see the site fail.

GW I'd like to mention that you don't know what our monthly analytics are, and also add that this site is tied to oodmag.com proper, and that two years ago were you not banned from Off Topic? So of course it would seem that there was more hunting and fishing content because you couldn't see the other Off Topic threads. It is not my intention to be combative, I'm simply pointing out a consideration.

Thanks Meghan. That's how it was intended.

Just dodge the responsibility and let the admins run free and censor without justification, just perceived offence. Taking their role model from the Libs in their censoring, no appeal, no respect just delete away.... rather pathetic.

Why not something simple like it take approval to lock a thread or delete posts? Why not some criteria? Free speech and truth are obviously offensive to many on the left, hence the former Liberal MPs quoting of Joseph Goebbels to just repeat the talking points until they believe, here the censors can delete the facts and leave the talking points, regardless of their veracity.

Ah well, I guess I can just keep planting truth seeds and let the fiction based followers learn or ignore and try to kill the plant if they want, won't change reality.

It's a disservice to lump people and posts in as one thing or another; people are complex, are not automatons, and every situation is unique and different. I've been criticized for being both too soft and too hard as an ADMIN and MOD, but I believe I'm fair, and I'm willing to listen to any concerns. I've always said we're not in the business of policing people, but there are rules that need to be followed, and you'd find that on any social platform. As for likening anyone to Hitler, not only is that hyperbolic, but it's insensitive to Holocaust survivors and everyone who died in the war. You're honouring him by bringing him up at all; don't you see that?

Once a poster starts on about Goebbels, Hitler, WHO and WEF, claims to be planting "truth seeds" while everyone else is a "fiction-based follower," accuses the site of "taking their role model from the Libs in their censoring" it pretty much makes the point of why rules and moderation are required.

Different rules for different folks.

100% agreed.. it pretty clearly visible since I have around..

Going off on tangent about all the leftist nonsense and calling alternative opinions stupid is perfectly acceptable, however the other way around, because "it's unnecessary controversial". [emoji1787][emoji1787]

GW: you’re an IT guy by trade….why not start your own forum and make a few bucks off the advertising ?

Post a link and tell everyone to keep the same usernames so we know who is who. Just a thought.

Are monthly analytics posted anywhere?

I would love to see them.

You're not understanding the soapbox analogy. TS isn't directly attacking anyone; he's simply stating that this isn't a platform where you can say whatever you please, it comes with an established set of Rules. Here are those Rules, again: https://www.oodmag.com/community/sho...-Rules-Conduct
Maybe there's a way for new members to be directed to this page immediately after signing up, to ensure clarity. Worth looking into, I think.
