Thread: Rant and Rave

I have found myself questioning the point of even posting here and I have determined that when you have the threat of censorship for no good reason hanging over your head like the sword of Damocles it saps your will to be a productive contributor. As long as one person wields power irresponsibly then it makes the whole forum look bad. What is more the person who did the foul, and yes I think censorship based on personal belief is foul, deed can't even be arsed to acknowledge it or talk about it. Apparently the consensus is that unilateral action by a mod need not be explained. Maybe I'll be back when the mod in question can grow up and be impartial and leave her belief system at the door when it comes to doing her job on this forum. In the meantime I hesitate to post anything at all here since it would likely come to naught.

I doubt that would happen, and not posting is of course your right and privilege, but I am sure you have a lot of information members can use. I have had my threads deleted here, and I was banned on one of Anti's forums I am now super mod at, and I never stopped and walked away, You pick your fights , and take a rest in between the others. I am sure you are not just proficient in blood magick, I have spells i would love to post but can't so I work with what I can. I have no answer, she doesn't like blood mentioned, and she has the right to have an opinion as do you, I am at a loss to how to handle this. I didn't see the whole thread, and what I saw, was very benign to me, but what is one man's pleasure is an other's poison, if you understand what I mean.

That would be even more of a mess, so be happy your weather dude isn't from Europe and uses Celsius. You'd be advised to keep "in an oversized freezer" instead of "indoors"

i am not use to living in the states, so after being pummeled with over 22 inches of snow in a week, a tree falling on our car, and now it is warmed up, the snow will melt and make a soggy mess, so i have a right to rant.

over 22 inches.

`You have to take into consideration that we have children join this forum.`

Having not visited OF for awhile I`d not like to comment on the issue behind this statement, I dont know the ins and outs - or want to. However, I do find it odd that an occult forum would make itself so readily open to children in the first place - unless of course this was part of the deal, when originaly opening up the site.
Occult = `hidden`. Surely, to understand what is already known should be a focus for our young, before venturing into a field where even the `long-of-tooth` have no hard and fast certainties?

Well said Strider.

Belasko, you came out of your laboratory to impart a little wisdom. Now we won't hear from him for a while.

Now you are acting like a child. I have had enough of this ****. There are rules in every place you go and if you so inclined you follow them, I suspect you don't. No one is stopping your freedom of speech, go get a blog. I have been as fair as i can, and you are still acting like a four year old who didn't get his candy bar. You seem to me to be very intelligent but lack any common sense. These are the rules, it is a fucking forum not a god damn soap box. If you are unhappy then go somewhere else, but past members have said you do this all the time when no one gives you what you want. If you are going on a mission then go don't start a fucking fight to leave the forum. I am closing this thread because I am pissed, and am liable to lose it and start banning without thoughts.

I have opened the thread again. This is the Internet and forums have rules, some forums let you do and say what ever because they don't care. Usually they get fined or closed down, quite a few have gone to the way side, because of complaints. We are here to provide a service but we are not able to allow certain information to be posted. I don't own the forum, i abide by what the owner wants. i think we are more tolerant than a lot out there, and try to accept as much as we can. We expect the members to respect the owner and his rules, and to work as a family. Families do have disagreements but they should also respect others wishes. You don't go into someone's space and start dictating, you respect and try to keep it clean. if someone does not like the way the forum runs then go to another unless you want to pay for the damage done when a parent tries to sue, if not then shut the **** up. Mods do not have it easy we are the ones who get abused, have to clean up **** and get blamed for everything. We are a family here and will protect and help as much as we can, but we will not tolerate crap thrown at us, I am not one who backs down to any one, so have a good day. I am getting off and going to get drunk!

What you say Zelda makes a lot of sense.
