Default Post naziville

let me begin by saying that i respect the board's adm, mods, and most members.. i can live with the rules as well.. but what i don't agree with is the editing of my last post. (it was a small, cute, streaming vid of a small pooch getting frisky with a stuffed animal put to music, for those of you that didn't get to see it)

the animal wasn't harmed in any way, no children were filmed, no gratutious nudity, nothing graphic about it at all.

i don't agree with editing posts though, the only reason a post should be altered or removed is if it completely disrupts the flow of things on purpose or is illegal.

i've received a load of pm's about this one lame, innocent post. none for any of the ones with nudity..nor any about the one's with excessive language.

ban free thought and the rule of the little ones.. keep those that can in charge and the weakminded will fall in place.. make them know their place and they will not need to think..power is rule, rule is power.. as long as the rightminded make the rules.

sinjin I think ive been pretty cool with you, and we have had laughs, we arent nazis or down to piss people off.

wyrethewife made a call on a post you made, which I read in the moderator section.

I am requesting you PM me the link so I can look.

we arent banning free thought that is ridiculous, we are protecting younger members of the forum, if you dont agree with that, thats really just tough, if you are going to be a butt about it ... well then technically its my forum (my original idea and my money pays for it), but as I said, PM me the link and then ill see what all the fuss is about.

and dont post all that "we are supressed" intellicual waffle, ive been around too long for that, and been on WAY too many a forum to even take that at face value.

maybe we need a talk ... MSN contact: zardonthemystic@hotmail.com

But the subject matter itself was very graphic and suggestive. We don't have any hard or fast rules when it comes to what can and can't be posted, we're really hoping we don't have to. Your posts to date have been great in my opinion, treading the thin-line between what is and is not accepted with a grace and style I can only admire; but the last one was a bit over the line in some of the moderators opinions, including my own. I can't even exactly describe why to ya except to say that I felt really uncomfortable watching it when my 5 year old son was in the room. I know that's not the best justification, but it's mine.

Or if it doesn't conform with the rules of the board, which does include moderators discretion. (It's a great cover-all loop-hole.) I do agree with you about not editing peeps posts, I hate it when people edit mine too.

Different strokes for different folks. Seriously; it's not a right or wrong issue, it's a very subjective one. Apparently I wasn't the only one who feels it crossed the line.

Yup, and we're the rightminded ones in this case. (It's nice to be a god, I mean mod. )

Sorry I did the old "quote/reply" thing, but I really wanted to explain my feelings to you clearly. I'm sorry you were offended/hurt/pissed about getting the post edited and can understand where you're coming from, but in the end it is a judgement call for the mods to make and it has been made. We're just starting this site out and we're all still settling in and finding out the boundaries, this is one of them. I hope you can understand why we want it this way, and I really hope you keep sticking around and post more babes up. (You really do have a gift for walking that thin-line 'tween sexy and porn)

If you can't I'll miss ya, but we're not going to change on this one.
