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 200 of 238 | ANN.lu |
Posted by hooligan/dcs on 06-Feb-2004 18:59 GMT | In reply to Comment 196 (MikeyMike Quotes): Well, since you listed half of your comments in the thread while I was referring to only one.. all I can do is the same and quote myself in the same thread. Actually, I can't find a reason why you listed so many quotes when you perfectly know I was talking about one. Here we go anyway:
MikeyMike:
I just read that thread. After the first couple/few pages, there was so little useful/accurate content that it is very unlikely that the original poster would have found it of any use. I didn't lock it, but I would have done.
Hooligan:
Why you think you can decide what is helpful for someone and what is not? If this is really your honest opinion, better quit being a moderator as you really ain't got what it takes.
<----------------------------->
MikeyMike:
If you really don't think I am doing a decent job as a moderator, voice your concerns privately to another member of AO staff. The other AO staff will discuss it, and if they feel I'm in the wrong, I'll leave.
Hooligan:
Please can you quote me saying you weren't doing a decent job as a moderator?
Also I said in this very thread I have nothing against how moderation has been handled here. Locking up the thread was an ok thing to do.
The ONLY thing bothering me is your attitude about this, as I explained before.
MikeyMike:
Or you could just leave
Hooligan:
That I will do when I see fit.
<-------------->
There some blah blah in the between.. anyone interested can read the thread to understand better. The point is, if a moderator spills out such words it automaticly reflects the attitude of the site, like it or not.
No need to tell examples how _ALL_ moderators at AW.net have been accused of doing this and while its only a couple actually doing the harsh moderating.
I like Amiga.org moderating how it was. I don't want such attitude you presented. And by looking how many comments this thread had, I don't think I am alone. Actually, even by taking a look only at that thread you can see I'm not alone. |
