Re: gyy does not want your politics

I'm personally against the opening of that subforum because I believe there are suitable alternatives available.

Re: gyy does not want your politics

Don't worry the Runningman Blog is coming soon.. We can talk there and that way we won't be here or have to open Politics

i don't see the point in running a forum if the people who are members of that forum cant talk openly about their thoughts or feelings about a given subject, sure there will always be a difference in opinion with some but in all honesty that's what happens in debates..its just part of the process... sorry guys i dont mean to disrespect kamal,tom or adams feeling but this place is starting to become censorship city...sucks

Re: gyy does not want your politics

I closed Politics down because it was a breeding ground for personal attacks toward other members. Page after page would go by with member after member disrespecting one another, and it eventually started to overflow into GYY, P&R, and the other forums. The overall level of attacking each other is causing members to leave. I don't care whether politics exists or not--I just want to make sure that the harassment stops.

What do I do? Do we let the personal attacks continue? Is that what people want? If not, what can I do to prevent them or react to them?

Maybe a few weeks away from MS for the offending members? I don't like seeing threads closed, posts deleted and such. It really is censorship overload. No offence offending members! :lol:

well personally i didnt know anything about the politic things and u are well within ur rights to protect members from attacks of others and again personally i never used to go into politics myself, i,m actually a bit pissed @ the fact that the osama's threads were closed and some of my posts were deleted in them, not once did i make a personal attack on anyone in my posts but rather i tried to show some of the people who were throwing conspiracy theories about in it some objective explanations about those theories being present.. it was only a debate type thing and without pissing u off m8 i feel like i have been told off without actually being told off about some of my feelings on the subject... i honestly feel right now like the rights of ms members having a good debate has been taken away, i feel like a part of the forum has died

sorry m8, no offence but this is just my 2 cents

Re: gyy does not want your politics

with the politics section closed, eventually things should correct themselves naturally one would think.

The posts below are samples of what I deleted. I'd like input from other members. Are these types of posts constructive, an attack toward another member, or both? Welcome or not?

[quote=banned1]well lets put it into simple term u may understand, your buddy and you are obama and the people behind the raid and the girl is the public and the media.... the girl finds out the whole truth and goes fucking ape shit, fights with ur buddy and starts spreading roumers to all her friends and before you know it her friends are all talking about it without actually knowing all the facts so little white lies creep into the story and more roumers are spread and before u know it u have a story which is completely wrong from the truth... now say this girl has a shitload of brothers and they find out about it, surely as brothers of the girl they will want to beat the shit out ur buddy...can u see where this is going yet ? :lol:[/quote]

[quote=thebanned1]oh and one other thing, i,m sure if those brothers found out u knew about it they would kick the shit out of u 2 :lol:[/quote]

Re: gyy does not want your politics

name calling with a smiley has always been a joking manner of saying things in my book.

Re: gyy does not want your politics

"I am innocent" "Look what he said" "I only said". Holy Jesus Christ on a Pogo stick. This is uber annoying. NONE of you is innocent so why can't you all just chill out and calm down for a while without over analysing everything. Meet online on MSN, Skype or use whatever chat options and sort your problems out "face to face" in conversations and not on a forum where you never know the mood somebody is in when making the posting, how it was actually really meant and other things that can lead to frustration and misunderstandings. I really miss the live and let live attitude and I am confident, those who argue most with each other wouldn't anymore if they'd only met once to have a beer together. Don't concentrate on the differences but rather concentrate on what you have in common. [ms] has a problem neither Mods nor Admins can sort out. You guys have to sort this out on your own.
