SYB. Moderated. Why?

how can you speak your brains whilst moderated by a semi-self-appointed party?

does SYB equal free speech?

if not, how are you qualified to have an opinion - have you proven experience, do you pay for bandwidth, do you suck up to whoever you need to, do you breathe and blink?

how can you come on a board and spout whatever you want without someone ensuring it is not offensive, it is relevant to the overall subject matter, and that it does not need to be moved somewhere else where it will get more exposure?

random thoughts...all valid IMHO...perhaps not in yours...discuss ;-)

Because I've yet to convince everyone that anarchy is the way to go

The operative word is brains and you'd be surprised--or not--by how many posters attempt the speaking part without the brains part. The only semi-self appointed Mod would be, I suppose, Duffistuta though what exactly that has to do with anything I'm not sure.

Free speech? Free in the sense you ain't paying for the privilege. Less free if you insist on some nebulous right to say whatever you please without reply. (And in the case of the Mods the reply might be to remove it.)

You post your posts and you takes your chances.

You can't. That's what we're for.

Btw, SYB is intended for paintball-related yammering for the most part, so, were we to be rigidly strict, this post doesn't really belong. :p :)

Semi self appointed? Sounds unhygenic to me.









See, that's why you need mods, otherwise people just turn your thread into pointless nob jokes and nothing would ever get discussed...... actually, Mods..... how about leaving this one alone for once as an example of what happens to a serious discussion with no moderation :)

exactly.....point i was trying to make was that without propper modderation we would be no better than the bunch of winging, finger pointing, name calling prats that post on certain parts of the 'other' forum
 
speak your brains is moderated, because people like myself, seem to overrun the forums with such ****, its a neccesary precaution, then people like myself seem to beg for forgivness and come back as different people 5 times in a week, just to sell their marker that they dont even sell in the end!
