Who thinks that it is only right that no thread be closed?

[Machiavellian Muscle]

Privately owned company which can create any form of censorship they deam fit. Most threads will get locked for legitimate reasons. The best are those that get deleted.

Personally I think that regardless of anything, no thread should be closed. No matter what. Censorship is in short wrong, if it is insulting someone then let it be, if it is a taboo subject then so what?

What gives mods the right to close threads? Are we to believe they have some sort of superior code of ethics?

I know that this goes against the very idea of a moderator, but I don`t think this elite crew of members should have the rights they do.

 

[NoDaddyNo]

Were this a public place, then yes.

But since it is owned by someone, they get to make up the rules here really.

Same reason you aren't allowed to take dumps on the table in resteraunts.

Why do you think your opinion matters? This is not America. This is not a democracy. The only people who have any claim to "rights" are those who pay for membership, and even they must abide by the TOS.

Remember, there are limits to everything, including freedom and tolerance.

Yes indeed. They do kinda frown upon that.
Who would've known.

Hey I`m not saying that anyone will listen to what I say at all. But hell this is an open discussion board right?

Sure it is privately owned, but nevertheless, my point remains.

Oh and anyone who thinks America is a democracy are kidding themselves, or are truly ignorant.

IMO, the only reason a thread should get closed is for violating the TOS. but most threads get closed because a moderator has an ingrown hair up their ass.

I see what you are saying. But I don't think that would happen in this forum. But if they had a flame thrower forum where you know it is going to racy(is that a word? ). then I think they should not be locked in there unless someone physically threatens someone.

It would have been ironic and funny had this been closed right after KrazyKat posted.
