I say I totally agree with you, the moderation on here has really turned me off lately.
I visit the site at least half as much as I used to & feel less inclined to contribute.
Sorry to say but just like the other threads that questioned the moderation on here, this one & the one in your link will be deleted.

ridiculous, the moderation of this website hasn't changed, in fact, it's quite forgiving (unlike many other sites I know OR have been banned from)

this is the ugly truth: it's the orgers (not the mods) who are getting jaded AND/OR surprisingly PC...

Ha! You wouldn't really notice because all the threads that call out the bullshit moderation gets deleted.

I think moderators do an OK job. The deal is this may seem like as freedom of speech issues but it is not. You are posting on a privately controlled website. They can delete posts as they wish. People should understand that about forums.
What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet?

I think you are missing the point by a kilometre or two. No one asked for freedom of speech, just a reason for why threads are locked or deleted if the reason is not clear for all to see.

Question is, what is the point having a forum designed for discussion if you can't express how you feel about the almighty's latest offering?

Nothing was out of line, offensive, abusive, politically incorrect, foul or trollling about the thread.

The ulterior motive to homogenize this forum and it's members into ass kissers will not work and that old militant (no pun intended) additive of 'if you don't like it, leave' is crap too.

Anyway, I have to do some vacuum cleaning to do which is more exciting than this but I'd like to leave you with this apparently apt defifinitiion.

Your thread has been reanimated! I was going to post on it but it felt like I'd be playing with a ghost.

You created a thread in the site discussion thread, and I ask did you follow the site rules and 1st send a question to the moderator?

on February 10th 2014 you agreed to the site rules, you still have to follow the protocal

You cannot post multiple threads because you are upset

And definately trashing a moderator is not going to make things right

You agreed to this rule below. Make sure you follow this next time.

Thank you

Moderators have final say.
prince.org administrators and moderators reserve the right to edit, relocate and/or remove any message, at any time, for any reason. Consider all editing decisions final. If you don't agree with a decision, you may discuss it with the moderator who made the judgment in private. If you cannot reach resolution with the Moderator in private, contact the site administrator via e-mail (ben@prince.org), explaining the entire situation, with all relevant links/excerpts/emails, etc. Under no circumstance attempt to start a 'debate' about specific moderation decisions in a public forum.
