Today a so-called Amiga site which was supposed to allow freedom of speech has now become a exposed heavily censored website, webmasters acting like children insulting members of the site just because they stand up and say what they think.
I feel betrayed.

Freedom of speech is no more on a popular Amiga site. : Comment 15 of 238 | ANN.lu |

"Why do you want this thread removed? "
Because moderators are biased, they like to abuse their censorship power and by definition are evil ;)
Seriously there is no perfect moderation. The Amiga communauty has the choice to comment on sites going from no moderation/no account required heavier moderation/accounts.
ANN tries to be somewhere in the middle. Sometimes I wish I had a way to ban some IPs for a few days as a FEW people are really trying to cause only troubles.
ANN has no locks on threads and I don't see the point to lock threads "not responding to the initial poster" as long as there are still some valuable comments posted.
Discussing moderation is fine, attacking/insulting moderators because they did not acted as you liked is wrong. If you are gentle enough the moderator may very likely listen to your opinion. If not, you just piss off someone working for you who will certainly moderate you. If you can't leave with it just switch to a site with no moderation at all.
"Abusive language, excessive swear words, personal insults and trolling/flamebait are not allowed"
"Using your full name or a unique nick is encouraged."
And ignore the trolls. |
