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 17 of 238 | ANN.lu |
Posted by bobpuegot on 03-Feb-2004 17:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (Bill Hoggett): Heavy-handed moderation sucks, whatever lame excuse the management come up with as justification. I have complained about this happening on another high-profile Amiga related site, and I've noticed hints of it creeping into Amiga.org policy a while ago too.
You noticed too? I mentioned this about Amiga.org and got jumped on by the Amigaworld.net moderators. If adults want to argue, just f'in let them. They are both consenting adults. Consenting adults shouldn't have to be interupted by the sex police hiding in the closet. That's what Amiga.org looks like to me, a bedroom being watched. Never joined.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like trolling, but I *enjoy* a good debate. Why should I invest myself intellectually into a site that will just perform an abortion of a thread that I spent good quality time in researching my side of the debate on? It's a waste of time. I know this will get a "It's our site respect our policies" but that's fine, I'll just go somewhere else. I chose here, as nobody "gets it" WRT moderation like Ann.lu does.
If CK ran a Xoops site, I dare say there'd be two mass exoduses in parallel from a popular Org and a Net. |
