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.

I would like to announce that I have been held victim of the Amiga.org moderations. Just the other day there was a thread complaining about a duplicate doommaster account and how it was nothing but trolling. I normally don't do anything of this sort but I locked the thread posting information on how it was indeed trolling and a verified duplicate account of doommaster (per IP). There were other threads started by the same account that required locking since it was duplicated efforts. Another account I had to lock a thread on was from an account named "smerf". I didn't change the content, I left it all there for people to read in its full splendor--I locked the thread all the same. Not trying to point anyone out but it's behavior like this that I believe AO should have a section called "the darwin awards".
For those of you who don't know, there is a web site called "the darwin awards" which immortalizes an individual in their stupidity of natural selection. I've started working on such a module for Xoops where members of the community have the option of voting on a darwin award candidate. It will take a bit of time to finalize, but I hope this will help cut out the users who are blinded by what they want to see.
This whole thread is nothing much more than a farce demanding attention to an area that requires none. All the same, thank you very much for the advertising. Let the truth be told in any way that it needs to be, just remember that the sh** will always float to the top.
