WISHBONE Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 This is getting ridiculous! Almost every topic I went to this morning is LOCKED! Have we really lowred our standards to eliminate FREE SPEECH?! Please tell me not here on DINARVETS. I have been following this investment and this site for many years and really hope that CENSORSHIP does not preclude FREE SPEECH. We must be careful not to let emotions run rampant but every topic I went to is LOCKED! BUMP where are you in this? I have respected moderators to the highest level until today, am I wrong? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanak47 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 It is getting pretty dicey in here these days I just sit on the sideline and watchem bash and smash one another. Madman Out 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooCow Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I believe in free speech as much as anyone else, but I just wanted to make a suggestion. When you post something like that please reference what topics are locked that you do not agree with. Without this, the moderators do not know how to respond because each situation is different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WISHBONE Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) which topic(s) specifically are you talking about? Currently there are 8 locked topics on the first page of rumors! Never saw that before! Granted some of them are just funny or amusing but why lock them?

Doesn't matter if I AGREE or DISAGREE, that is the foundation of free speech! Doesn't matter if I am offended, outraged, laughing hysterically (fat baby dancing) or frustrated. Free speech is exactly that "FREE"! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jte70 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) I can understand the damage control factor. I've been on a lot of forums before and trolls and flamers basically destroyed the places because there were no mods. I think they're just trying to keep the atmosphere habitable; whether I agree or disagree isn't relevant.

I've been on a lot of forums before and trolls and flamers basically destroyed the places because there were no mods. I think they're just trying to keep the atmosphere habitable, whether I agree or disagree isn't relevant. Exactly what I am saying in regards to the topics! Not the censorship! I apologize to the moderator that is locking these topics this morning if you are offended! I just thought it was strange to see, never seen it like this before today!

Whatpeople need to understand is... this is Adam's site not a place where you get to do whatever you want. If you want to do that start your own forum. It's like going to your job and telling the owners sorry I dont like coming in at 8am I will come in at 10am from now on. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jte70 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I think people are trying to distract themselves from the end of year pressure and anticipation; maybe that's why there are more marginal topics being discussed. Anyway you're right this isn't our place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed there is one mod in particular that is shall I say overly eager lately. When some people are given a little power they go overboard.

Really....why is the name of the site plural.....DINAR VETS? It would seem this site is shared by its members in the sharing of information. Right? Without us (VETS) this site would be only information shared by Adam. And I have felt as of recent times the sharing and presence of Adam is very limited! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have felt as of recent times the sharing and presence of Adam is very limited! Diva did have an interesting take on it, but I do agree with you. Adam's presence is very limited. However, without a thorough review of all the topics that have been locked it would be difficult to determine if it was an act of censorship or merely limiting the ridiculous. We all know that the ridiculous side of things has run rampant on these forums lately. The natives are restless and BS abounds... Perhaps it was doing us a favor by locking some of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam provides a place for us to share ideas and he might even make some money off the advertising or VIP membership fees but make no mistake about it this is HIS business and he allows people to share ideas at no cost. Now with that being said, I do agree with you that some topics seem to locked for no apparent reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
