I wonder if this has anything to do with

"He who shall not be named"

being promoted to

"He who should not have been named a moderator"

The world wonders....

Just got this off the wire:

AP-GUANTANAMO BAY The "Taldren Three" arrived today and were processed at the new detention area erected in the wake of the infamous "J'inn you bastard" post incident and various other crimes against humanity, in which countless people were horribly scarred by the comments of mastermind Die-Hard and his band of villains. Mr. Hard has made many overtures of peace to his captors but the crimes are still fresh in the victims minds.
Attourney General John Ashcroft is looking into the possibility treating the "evil" posters as prisoners of war, but unfortunately Mr. Ashcroft has been unavailable for comment. Sources in the administration say Mr. Ashcroft is stuck "in-battle" above the Klingon Planet Peace.

 The only point of banning people is to not let them defend their pont of view.  That being said, their transgressions (whatever they were) were on the other boards and Die Hard and Kai Lae were behaving themselves.  I have NO FREAKING CLUE what Kai Lae might have done to piss off the Taldrenites, and Die Hard... ummm... well he seemed a bit edgy to me, but that alone is no reason to permanently ban someone.  I mean, the image tag is back for pete's sakes, so I guess y'all have forgiven the porn-poster!

To back off the tangent a bit... Why are they banned? I mean, Likkerpig REALLY REALLY didn't seem the sort to be banned, and I was wondering why I hadn't seen him on in a while.

This is un-called for, Nanner had NOTHING to do with this. Do the community a favor and delete your post.

Hey, just a question, Taldren... Where you guys located? USA, right? Now, when I last did Politics 101, USA was a... wait for it, a democracy. That's right, where EVERYBODY has the right to free speech, to voice their opinions without fear of repression or censorship, so long as they state that it is their opinion, and not fact.

Now, it is my repeatedly-stated opinion that Activision are less valuable than their weight in tribbles. Dan, their agent who lurks within these forums, deserves nothing more than being smothered with a Klingon's armpit and drowned in the Bog of Eternal Stench. As for you guys, Taldren, shame on you. You really didn't do your homework when designing SFC3. Too similar races, not enough races, too simple. And after getting EAW right, you've managed to invent new bugs to put back in the prgoram! Egad, are you guys addicted to de-bugging or what?

And shame on you for not allowing people to say what they think of you. You can't have a public forum, then cesnor people out so that you only hear the nice things. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. If you try, you might as well move to a dictatorship, like Iraq.

Oh wait, that'll be part of America in a month or two anyway!

Americans always go on about free speach and the like, they make America sound so nice I'm thinking of moving there shortly. As funny as the last post is its sadly true, meaning that your a bunch of hypercrits.

It dosn't matter though, free speah is one of the most stupidest things ever and I'm glad that there is no such thing. For instance, if I started saying "I think parents should be allowed to drown there babies if they feel like it", then some people would get upset. If I continued on, repeating the same offensive rubbish for days and weeks people would leave the forum and some would start sending me hate male.

To make matters worse, I've started to think that "there should be a baby drowning ellemenant to SFC3" and I'm going to inform you all of this latest edition to the game. I'm going to start threads on it, stop threads with it and generaly haras you all with my beleife in drowning babies.

So all I have to do to validate my oppinion is to simply state it is my oppinion? Does this extend to everything? Could I start beeting people up and using the excuse of "It was just my fists"? Or do you want me to go back to the drowning babies aspect of my argument?

NO

You can't have free speach I would be banned from this forum quicker than you could say "patch please". The thing is, all of you would be for it, my highly offensive views are gone, right? Well you see the only thing free about that is, its free unless you think it should be otherwise, right?

Don't make me laugh, there has to be moderation and moderation in moderation so to speak. There is a line of reasonableness that we should all try to stand on, otherwise people have to be excluded for the simple fact that they make life hard for everyone else.

Things that should be moderated -

1) Racism
2) Excessive use of strong language when used with the sole purpose to offend
3) Promoting violence against anyone other than in self defence
4) Excessive personal attacks on anyone for whatever reason
5) Disagreeing with me j/k

Have fun everyone I'm off to write a bit more of my dissertation.

There's a fourth, who got banned in the model forum, for saying things along the same lines:

http://208.57.228.4/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB11&Number=10279&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

Isn't time to for Taldren to show how beneficent they can be?

Ahh, but that's the problem, isn't it? Allowing free speech also allows the radicals to voice their, usually, uninformed, myopic opinions. This upsets the moral majority, who try to suppress these views. If they succeed, then frequently the radicals are driven underground. Isolated, they seek the company of like-minded radicals and form their own sub-society, where their views are approved. KKK, anyone? Or the US militia groups? Left amongst themselves, they cannot help but become even more radical in their views? After all, who do they have to debate against? Where is their voice of reason?

Rather, the American founders had considerable foresight in making free speech an unalienable right (although they did goof up with the right to bear arms). By allowing these people to voice their beliefs, the opportunity arises to debate, interact with and ultimately understand the causes of radicalism, be it racism, or religious fundamentalism, or anything else.

But simply blocking their right to free speech alienates them further, rising deep-seated resentment and, ultimately, taking matters into the radicals' own hands. How difficult would it be for one of the people Taldren have ostracised to talk to one of their friends, a computer hacker? All of a sudden the entire forum is disrupted, to the cost of everyone.

If Dave really is Christian, then he should forgive and engage the banned people, rather than alienating them. I think Die Hard had a point, although he didn't express it very well. Perhaps by understanding exactly what Die Hard wanted to say, Taldren and Activision would be a little more transparent in their dealings with us, and elicit far fewer complaints.

A little off topic but a portion of the last post caught my attention.  Someone stated the forefathers goofed up on right to bear arms.  Now I firmly believe in this right and as soon as I turn 21 I will purchase a firearm.  On the news recently a man shot a thief that had broken into his house and was in his sons beadroom.  This man defended his home and family with the law behind him.  He did not shoot this man out of malice, but out of self-defense and that of his families.  

Sadly this man may face a jail sentence because his gun was not registered.  He had just moved from another state, and he was in the process of re-registering the weapon.  If the day comes that the liberals ban weapons from this blessed country, thats the day I put them in my walls.  Look at Britian, they banned weapons from private citizens, now the criminals and the police are the only gun tooting folk around.  Last time I checked there were 10 times more criminals than police in Britian...and probaly more here.  

I do not mind registering a gun, or waiting 5 days while they check my background...but if it goes any further than that crime will rise in the U.S. and innocent men, women, and CHILDREN wil suffer because of the lack of protection.

Taldren unban...this is foolishness.  You get blasted for banning, you get blasted for not banning, you get blasted for everything...its obvious you will never make everyone happy.  However, it is certain that the people you have banned do not care for your company at all due to your action against them.  I'd rather have people supporting me as a new software company...than more people pissed.

There is no free speech on a privately owned  board. You all agreed to the terms of use when you  joined this board. If you violate those terms of use then Taldren is well within their rights to ban you permanently. And complaining about it will get you no where.

Taldren puts up with more crap then alot of the boards that I check out. To get banned here you have to really screw up.

I agree with that but i also think a second chance wouldnt be a bad thing. Theres quite some ppl asking to give them a second chance and one could think that they have a part within this community. As we all know, most things said in anger arnt really meant that way.
