Is there a board that is more heavily moderated than MADD???

Post by _fubecabr »

Of the 12 years I've been on the internet, I've never seen a site so heavily moderated. I can't believe how sensitive the mods are to anything "anti." Orpheus seems to be the worst offender. They make up rules as they go along and slap you or ban you for violating some new unwritten rule. Just as a topic begins to get interesting, it is locked. Normally on most sites, threads are only locked because of a flame war or if the thread is totally stupid, spam, Old Testament, or totally inappropriate.

And then there's certain members that get away with everything under the sun, like pahoran, charity, selek, DCP, or juliass. They have to be the most petty, mean spirited, vicious, and manipulative jerks that I've ever seen on the internet.

Just let them keep doing what they're doing. If some questioning member comes in and asks a legitimate question they can expect to get flamed.

I've heard that anti-evolution boards are very heavily moderated as well.

There's always the "We Keep Our Board Moderated More Than Anyone, and If You Post We'll Delete It And Ban You Because We Moderate More Than Anyone Because That's Who We Are" Board.

They banned me.

Bond, I just looked in there, doesn't look like you're banned. Did I misunderstand you?

I was being sarcastic about "The Board That Always Bans...". I haven't been banned from MAD. Yet. Check in next week on "name that banned critic!".

That other board was a figment of my imagination, similar to the Golden Plates being a figment of Joseph's.

Sorry, I'm thickheaded. Maybe we should start taking bets on whose next on the hit list. Before long they'll have to rename it the "We're talking to ourselves" board.

If there were internet message boards in North Korea, I don't think they would be as heavily moderated as that board.

No Dice. I could always get banned if I wanted. It would be more interesting to see who can stay the longest.
