Hey Mods!

“BTW: What set violin out on his hissy fit was he not liking my not sticking to a thread subject on FUEGO.

I posted a few Charlie RANGLE links to one of his FUEGO Repubs Are Corrupt And Kill Puppies threads. For this great sin violin figures I must be destroyed.”

“Example of TT moderation...

”

“Lol @ nigal”

“calling us pvssies ... reported”

“Is that the Greek spelling?”

“I was going to say "calling us #$(^&!@#", but I didn't want to get called out again by a moderator for using punctuation.”

“(although, I'm sure it was a perfectly unbiased moderator who had the approval of the other mods to publicly call me out and warm me of an impeding ban for using punctuation)”

“thatswhyidontevenusespacesanymorewheniwritesomethingbecauseitsimpossibletotellwhetherisay#&%!$or#&%!$or#&%!$orilovepuppydogs”

“I stand corrected! LMAO!”

“We're all just sheeple in the end.”

“I received a message from the TT mods saying that my account was suspended for one week and was warned not to return under any alias.

There was no explanation and the message was not addressed to either "Violin" or "Rev Truth V Wicked".

I can still post under either name.

Was this a joke?

Is banning done on the honor system?”

“Is Nigal next?”

“Is instigation punished or just retaliation?”

“I posted in the subject line again on another thread, violin. Please report me.”

“LOL, banning via the honor system, that's freakin' hilarious.”

“I think someone at Demom Media has to do the actual banning, when Demon Media gets around to it, Dub.”

“received a message from the TT mods saying that my account was suspended for one week and was warned not to return under any alias.


hmmm...interesting idea there...

Is banning done on the honor system?”

LMAO! That is funny!”

“We're all just sheeple in the end


”

“bingo”

“Demand has to be losing money on this place. Jump back through the history of the main page 1000 days to just before they bought it....way more posts and threads daily, probably 10x the amount than what is posted now. Less views, less hits, less content all mean less revenue. I doubt they've earned back anything anywhere near what they paid Matt for the site.

This is the main reason they don't invest any time or money into the site.”

“They allowed it to go to #&%!$ in the first place — they should reap the 'rewards.'”

“If it wasn't useful to them they would have already cut the cord.

Most likely this is just a feeder site meant to supply qualified backlinks to their more valuable properties.”

“kinda like a loss leader in retail?”

“More like a good review in a local newspaper.”

“That's why "trails.com partner" is at the bottom of every page...so you'll go there and sign up for their outrageous subscriptions.”

“Leaving TT!”

“saw that one coming”

“OH COME ON!!! I should get a point for that......or banned for a week. The modding here is such a sham LOL!”

“WARNING to TTers,

The mods are silencing speech on here that breaks no rules.

I pointed out the mods deleted a post of mine that broke no rules, but left a mods post that was attacking my character, and they deleted THAT post too!

Mods - you did not take on the job of deleting posts you don't like. You are supposed to enforce the RULES, not make up your own!

As you can see this posts breaks no rules and says nothing my other one didn't say. Let's see if you delete this one too.

Stop abusing your power.”

“If you post this one comment here I think it can stay, though any mod can delete. If you start posting it on multiple threads - as before - I will delete them all.”

“Multiple threads?

I posted it on the thread where the moderator attacked me! What thread was I supposed to post it on?

That got deleted so I posted it on the mod thread.

Give me a physical break!”

“Stop abusing your power.”

LOL, now that's funny. Like who is going to police the moderators?”

“It isn't unreasonable for them to police themselves and for the community to hold them to being clear on the rules.”

“I thought everyone here knew who rules the rules here. Why. 'Erika' of course. Its a historical fact.
I would post the link, but i am sure the free minded intelligent members here have heard of Google. Great explanatory videos.”

“The mods are silencing speech on here that breaks no rules.

LOL, "silencing speech"???!!!...it's a friggin website, not the town square”

“"silencing speech" applies in both situations - it's not an either/or”

“THEY took something off THEIR website that THEY didn't like...if you were in my house and said something i didn't like i'd have full authority to tell you to leave...that's not "silencing your speech", that's just saying you can't do it here

...and before you say "it's not the mod's website", they were appointed by the owner's and there for are an extension of the owners”

“thrifty, by the power invested in me, by me, get off my site”

“I ban everybody! Including myself!”

“It doesn't matter if it is "their house" (I disagree with your assessment that it is) or not, they still are silencing speech that breaks no rules.

Whether or not they have a legal right to do so is also irrelevant. The fact is, they're doing it and it should be known, discussed in fact.

Apathy is what has brought our country to where it is. Apathy can bring down this site too. I make no apologies for bringing this to light.”

“I agree Rosey...”

“those tyrants! silencing speech! It's time we rise up in a TTParty to fight such tyranny. No longer shall we be oppressed.

It seems to me that if your posts are constantly being deleted, maybe it's time to take a look at the content of those posts and ask yourself "is that really appropriate to post on a site that does not belong to me?" I too got in a pinch of trouble for the content of my posts and instead of feeling victimized, I assessed my behavior and corrected it. Since then, wanna guess how many of my posts have been deleted?”
