Proposed rule change
I would like to propose a rule change. If an admin is involved in posting in a thread they are not allowed to use their admin powers to delete posts, issue warnings or lock threads. This would help stop the situations where an admin who loses an argument can abuse their powers to remove the posts they personally disagree with.

The fact you still don't get it just makes you and the site look bad. The fact is you're wrong for the reasons already given. It also demonstrates a very poor attitude for a moderator to have. |

i'd remove the forum and the useless comments right now, indeed. and maybe also kick every user who didnt upload shit in the last months =P

Quoting The Communistwe do not give a fuck about the opinions of others
And at last, we see the utter failure of what you're resorting to, i.e. "don't care la la la".
I wonder, do you speak for the owner of this site and the other mods?
I do not think so. You're wrong and your posts demonstrate exactly how you're failing to make any valid argument.

you were loosing it the very moment you tried to construct some kind of right that you got from the fact you donated.

Quote: Quoting Martin PiperYes I know. My point sill stands, by accepting donations from the public this is not a private site.
there are two condtions, public and private. as this site isn't funded by taxes and doesn't belong to a gov organization it is private. though it does accept donations doesn't turn it public outside your universe. we do not give a fuck about the opinions of others but we also do not accept every demand of the users (some are quite abstract or barefaced).
when i compare this to forum64.de this threat would have been already closed and the one or other user temp. banned.
By the way, it has nothing to do with taxes or government funding, you're completely missing the point.
The point is this board does not have closed membership and accepts donations from the public. Both of these things make this board the opposite of "private" as you repeatedly and fallaciously claimed.
If you want to continue to claim this board is "private" you're going to have to change it to a completely closed private membership by invitation model and stop accepting donations from the public. Since you cannot accomplish this then your claims about being private are nothing but misrepresentation. |

I've not claimed anything about "rights linked to donations", so you wrong to say it.
I have only pointed out the public donation aspect to show how the claims of being private are wrong. |

martin with "we do NOT give a fuck" i meant that "we DO care about the users in general" otherwise i would have said "we give a fuck" |

last time i checked new members have to apply and then the moderators decide if he may join. thats pretty closed membership to me - pretty similar to good old BBSs. |

In common English "we do not give a fuck about" means "we do not care about".

As I said the membership is not invitation only. The account registration page is public. Ergo it is public.
