Well, they have to get a lot of hateful stuff thrown at them. I can understand why they have to moderate every post.

Yeah, but there's no way to discuss anything with it like that. I can't be waiting around until the next day for a post to go through while long-time members get to post 20 posts between and I can't say anything because it will be posted later anyway, probably when the context is gone.
Yeah, I understand. I really wanted to discuss some things over there--there are so many things I've been curious about--but I'm just not waiting around for that. I'll have to find another forum to find the info I'm looking for. 
But that's okay, I guess I posted them in the right thread after all. 
I don't think I should dare try going to individual-sovereignty.com. They may not have the overmoderation thing going, but they lack anyone that can consistently give good arguments. At least on Stormfront they have some pretty decent articulate posters.

I decided not to fuck around with the Warden. I admit he'll just own me up one side and down the other. I thought I was all that with my meager photoshop skills, but even with MSPaint that dude has got something I don't. I don't know what, exactly, but I do know whatever it is I don't have it. 
And teacher I was being completely serious about animating with MSPaint. It hadn't occurred to me before that it could be done. I think it's a neat idea just for its own sake, and I may try it myself.

Nothing really. I just thought it might be fun to mix it up with him some. I changed my mind. I grow weary of battles.

He would have LOTS of somewhat-lame drawings--the sheer volume of them would be the K.O., most likely...

If you think stormfront is bad, you clearly haven't been to the National Socialist Libertarian Green Party website. 
Green commie libertarian nazis. Yes. It makes no sense.

That makes no sense. You're right. :LOL:

Straight Dope Message Board, you must pay if you want to keep posting, here's their multiple page list of rules:
| Quote: | We have one guiding principle: Don't be a jerk.
A one-time 30-day guest membership on the Straight Dope Message Board ("the SDMB") is free. We don't request personal information other than your e-mail address (although you may include such information in your user profile if desired). To continue posting after your guest membership expires, you must purchase an annual subscription for a modest fee. A subscription is not required merely to read the board. For more information about subscriptions, click on the "Subscribe" link in the menu bar at the top of most SDMB pages after you register. Users who register under a different name for an additional guest membership after their first has expired will have their posting privileges revoked.
The following rules apply to both guests and subscribers, except as noted.
Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board and the volume of messages received, it is impossible for us to verify the information posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. Users should be particularly wary of medical, legal or other professional advice posted on the message board and recognize that it is no substitute for in-person consultation with a competent professional. Messages express the views of their authors, not necessarily the views of the operator of the SDMB, namely the Chicago Reader, Inc. ("the Reader"), or any entity associated with it.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use the SDMB to post any material that you know or should know is false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or violative of U.S. law. You agree not to post material that in our opinion fosters or promotes activity that is illegal in the U.S. We reserve the right to revoke the posting privileges of persons misrepresenting themselves on the SDMB.
Minimum age for registration on the SDMB is 13 years. Registrants found to be younger than 13 will have their posting privileges revoked and forfeit any subscription fees. SDMB content is intended for mature audiences; parents or guardians paying subscription fees for children aged 13 through 17 are responsible for determining whether the SDMB is a suitable environment for their child.
You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by the operator of the SDMB, except as permitted by the "fair use" provisions of the U.S. copyright laws (in general this means brief excerpts only). You agree to abide by the wishes of the board moderators in interpreting and enforcing these rules. Refusal to cooperate with board moderators or to abide by these rules is grounds for revocation of your posting privileges.
This message board is intended as a medium for public discussion. Do not post spam, including but not limited to advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, solicitations, offers to trade or barter, charitable appeals, or other messages primarily intended to promote a cause, venture, organization, event (except Straight Dope-related events), website, or other entity or activity, whether or not money is involved. We allow exceptions for worthy causes (in our sole opinion) if you obtain prior permission from a moderator or administrator. We do not require prior approval for non-commercial gift exchanges, e.g., "secret Santa" exchanges. The Chicago Reader, Inc., and its agents, including the administrators and moderators of the Straight Dope Message Board, make no representation that they have investigated or vetted charitable appeals, gift exchanges, and similar activities promoted on this board or groups or individuals associated with them. We do not vouch for, monitor, sponsor, endorse, or have any formal association with such activities. Proceed at your own risk.
Do not post the same or similar messages or threads to multiple forums; multiple threads on the same topic; or an excessive number of threads on any topic within a limited period of time. Do not start threads expressly for the purpose of meeting other posters for romantic or sexual purposes. We will notify the Internet service provider of any party posting objectionable messages.
You are free to express your views in a forceful manner provided you remain civil. Hate speech, insults, and purposely inflammatory remarks (i.e., trolling) will not be tolerated. Do not post threats or state or imply that any individual or group is deserving of harm. We recognize that this rule cannot be strictly applied in discussions of war, capital punishment and the like but urge users to express themselves in moderate terms nonetheless. If we tell you to refrain from behavior that we regard as uncivil, do so or face revocation of your posting privileges.
The board is not intended to furnish you with a forum for promoting your personal agenda. We reserve the right to ask you to limit postings on a particular topic, or to refrain from posting on such topics altogether. Please do not ask other members to do your homework or provide input for your article, paper, or other off-board project. We may waive this rule if you obtain prior permission from a moderator or administrator.
Do not post links to pornography - we will be the judge of what constitutes pornography. Links to nudity or other potentially shocking or offensive material are permissible only in the context of a mature discussion - gratuitous posting of such links is grounds for revocation of your posting privileges. When posting a link to potentially shocking or offensive material, observe the "two click" rule - don't link directly to the item, but rather to an intermediate page that in turns links to the item. If you're not sure whether a link is appropriate, contact a moderator or administrator before posting it. Any user who feels a posted message is objectionable should contact the moderators of the affected forum by e-mail.
Only one screen name is permitted per user. If you wish to change screen names please email an administrator. Use of multiple screen names is grounds for revocation of your right to post under ANY screen name. We reserve the right to refuse postings from screen names we find objectionable.
Vandalism, tampering, or any other abuse of the site is grounds for immediate banning. We reserve the right to report violators to their Internet service provider and law enforcement.
We reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Reader, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited (the makers of the bulletin board software), and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).
All postings and other material on the SDMB are copyrighted by the Reader. Republication of material appearing on the SDMB without express written permission of the Reader is prohibited, except that users retain the right to republish their own work. By posting on this board you grant the Reader and its successors and assigns a nonexclusive irrevocable right to reuse your posting in any manner it or they see fit without notice or compensation to you.
The Reader and its agents, including the administrators and moderators of the SDMB, are not responsible for anything associated with any real life meeting of our members. While we permit SDMB users to post announcements and other discussion of meetings and events on the Straight Dope Message Board, we don't organize, sponsor, endorse, approve, or have any formal association with such events or any activities that may occur at them. We don't vouch for any individual or group organizing or participating in an event. Attend at your own risk. SDMB moderators and administrators who attend events do so as private individuals and not as representatives or agents of the Reader. We encourage all attendees at these events to obey the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are held.
Privacy policy: The Reader respects your confidential information. Confidential information is information that you are required to submit in order to participate on the SDMB and that is not publicly available. We will not release confidential information about you except in the following circumstances: (a) we have your consent; or (b) we believe in good faith that we are legally required to do so; or (c) there is an emergency involving personal danger; or (d) you have vandalized our site or otherwise behaved in a manner that warrants our contacting the authorities or your Internet service provider.
From time to time we may acquire nonconfidential but sensitive information about you, some of which you may have posted yourself to our board. We won't disclose or repeat such information except as (a) reasonable and necessary to manage our business, or (b) required by law, or (c) consistent with good citizenship, e.g., to prevent or report a crime or to respond to inquiries from law enforcement.
If you privately provide us with sensitive information related to the SDMB, we'll act on it as we feel prudent, with the understanding that we'll take reasonable measures to prevent your being identified as the source of the information without your consent, provided we're not shielding a wrongdoer or acting against the public interest in doing so.
You are required to submit and maintain a valid e-mail address. If you do not wish to receive e-mail from other SDMB users you may so indicate in your user profile. However, we retain your e-mail address in our database and reserve the right to have SDMB staff contact you. We won't give or sell your e-mail address to bulk mailers, brokers, or similar entities.
If you subscribe to the SDMB using a credit card, your card number and related information is retained in a secure database at our office. Access to this database is restricted to authorized Reader personnel. SDMB moderators and administrators do not have access to the database.
We log your Internet address (IP number) each time you post. The IP number tells us your Internet service provider. We reserve the right to reveal the IP numbers and e-mail address (but no other confidential information) of chronic SDMB rule violators to other bulletin board operators. We do this to identify guests registering under multiple screen names. One of our third-party advertising providers, Google, uses IP numbers to customize ads served up to SDMB users.
Please remember that postings on this board are visible to anyone with access to the Internet, and are retained in a database indefinitely. Please do not post personal revelations or other information that may come back to haunt you. In particular, do not post your telephone number or address.
Subscribers: By subscribing to the Straight Dope Message Board you agree to abide by the rules above and to submit to their interpretation and enforcement by our moderators and editors. Changes to the rules will be posted in the "About This Message Board" forum. Rule changes become effective upon posting unless otherwise stated. Except in extreme cases, you will be given at least one written warning prior to being banned from the SDMB or otherwise disciplined for violating our rules. This warning will be posted on the SDMB, typically in the message thread where the violation occurred, and will indicate the nature of the infraction. Subsequent violations may result in banning or other disciplinary action without further notice. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of any warnings and modify your behavior accordingly. If you do not understand a violation you have been warned about, please e-mail a moderator or administrator for an explanation. Do not pester us for hypothetical examples of what does or does not constitute a violation - we believe our rules are reasonably clear. Subscribers who are banned forfeit all subscription fees they have paid. We reserve the right to ban a subscriber without warning in extreme cases, including but not limited to threats against the SDMB or users thereof or the Reader or its agents, regardless of where or how the threat is expressed. We are the sole judge of what constitutes an extreme case. If you have been banned from the SDMB and subsequently subscribe, you will be banned again without notice and forfeit your subscription fee.
Guests: Please remember that you are our guest here, and that we reserve the right to exclude you at our whim, for any or no reason whatsoever. By registering and using the board you acknowledge this right and agree to abide by our rules and to submit to their interpretation and enforcement by our moderators and editors.

They can kiss my ass. I'll be damned if I'm going to join a forum that I HAVE to pay for.

I take that back. I'm going to join them for 30 days and see if I can stir the pot. I've never deliberately done that before--usually I really want a real debate, but somewhere that charges people to post after 30 days on a forum that allows NO signatures, NO avatars, and their moderation policy is overly-strict, I think it deserves a little tension. I'm not sure how good I'll be at creating tension though...

Screw it--I just posted this message there--I'll see if it gets me banned right away:
| Quote: | I'm confused.
I had never heard of the publication "The Straight Dope". I saw a message on another forum point to a waterboarding thread on this forum. It peaked my curiosities.
Then I wanted to register--then I start reading about requiring payment to post after 30 days. What's so special about this place besides not allowing avatars or signatures or images in posts that makes it something that people should pay for? (okay, there was some sarcasm there--I'm basically saying you have LESS to offer than other boards from what I can IMMEDIATELY see) I'm not seeing it.
Is there some sort of publication that I'll be mailed every month or something, if I pay money, or is it just for the "special privilege" of posting here? Why is it worth the money when there are hundreds of other FREE forums that have good debates on them?
Why should I want to pay money for something that doesn't even let me have an avatar or a signature, or post images
http://www.kizzume.com/shaven-150.png http://kizzumeforum.com
Yep, I can't post images. What's up? Why in the world would I want to pay for that? |
EDIT: Cool. They didn't ban me and they actually answered my questions. Either they get those questions a lot, or something.
Now what? Posting on a crippled board just doesn't seem very interesting to me.
EDIT: Well, I find out now that they make people wait 2 minutes between every search. That was the final straw for me. I posted this there:
| Quote: | 2 minutes to search?!
Okay--let me get this straight--2 minutes to search, every 10 minutes the forum almost times out when I try to view a thread because something occasionally locks down the server, there are no avatars, no images, no signatures, and I see tons of messages complaining about moderation and forums getting locked. Yeah, I want to pay for that (yeah right).
Just delete my account, please--this is pathetic. |
2 minutes to search? WTF are they thinking?

It's not just Nazi's, it's libertarian Nazi's, and the green kind. Yeah, um, okay.
Go up, as along as it isn't the opposite of down.
