Have the mods here ever heard of freedom of speech?

1) publicly whining about moderation never ends well.
2) if you don't like having your posts deleted, stop making crappy posts like this:
PanthersFan1 wrote: Thu Jul 19, 2018 7:39 pm I'm ready for Ryan to take a hike sick of watching him and he has to be one of the worst Super Champions in history of Jeopardy.
3) LOLOL there's no freedom of speech on a message board, other than the 'freedom' to either follow the rules or take a hike.

I posted something early about my feelings on Ryan and it got deleated.

Alt text: I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

1) Re-read my first post on here that is pinned at the top of the page. It explains why your post was deleted. It wasn't deleted by me, but I've seen it, and I would have deleted it as well. And it should have been deleted.
2) If you don't like your posts to be deleted, post civilly.
3) If you don't like when your posts are deleted, you are free to go elsewhere.
4) If you continue to post like that, you will no longer be free to post here.
5) I (nor everyone else) want to hear your complaints anymore.
6) End of discussion. Trust me, you are not going to rebut me (or last not for long).

Snowflake? Seriously? Do I hear a dog whistle? Sheesh :roll: .

I hope you and a couple of other insult-based boardies can holster your rage and stay around and share insights. Every post doesn't have to be a Pollyanna-festival, but say something nice now and then. Learn us something we don't know or hadn't thought of. Maybe you'll pick something up. I don't belong here amongst the trivia whiz-kids, but I truly enjoy the collegial environment, wit, and intellect. I'm guilty of a little not-so-subtle political or cultural snark now and then, but I haven't been deleted yet, and it is not mean spirited. It's fun to bash the Kardashians, but I'm sure they are nice folks and probably even appreciate the negative attention. And, I don't care for Ryan Fenster's playing style, but he is pretty damn smart and a nice guy I'm sure.

Now just jump back in and represent! You'll be glad you did :)

I know, I know, don't feed the trolls and such...

As soon as the board starts collecting taxpayer money for the sake of keeping it up and running, then I will agree with you. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you, decrying the freedom of speech violations. On the off chance that the board gets so big and monopolistic that we can debate calling it a public utility... then questions of freedom of speech will arise. But as long as J-Board is a volunteer-run community in a tiny corner of the interwebs, you're just making the rest of us look bad when we bring up actual issues involving freedom of speech.

Speaking from a moderation perspective, I should also point out that the Report Post function is definitely under-utilized by many of you.

It really helps sometimes to know what the community is thinking on these matters.

If you all think something shouldn't be here, it makes the job slightly easier, without us feeling that that we're acting in a heavy-handed fashion.

In this case, he speaks on behalf of the community. Your ad hominem attacks are not valued by the majority of this particular community, so why not take your content to a forum that does?

Perhaps your definition of "nothing" needs as much work as your spelling.
