Oh, "make $$$ fast" and stuff like that is freedom of speech? Get real. Boards usually have a topic or a "meaning" of some sort, and if your posting does not match it, it should be deleted.
In case of UF, we do not really have a topic - which is why kickstart usually does not moderate anything unless it is positively offensive, redundant or crap.
A good moderator does not remove a posting because he can't get the joke or does not like the author's opinion.

Fact: Your post is in the board twice.

I never stated that your joke should be deleted because of its suckiness.

Oh looky here, you're right. Well, like kickstart said (in case you bothered reading his postings), he kicked 'em both in response to you sending out dupes. YES, I understand you did not do it on purpose. Still happened. Besides, he probably wanted to reduce confusion - "translation thread" is a somewhat hot topic around here anyways, and having similar-sounding topics certainly will not ease the minds around here.

I see. Attention all slashdot moderators, you have just been declared "unreal".

Hope you're not responsible for the jokes dept of that city. scnr.

I don't think so. I guess everyone except you (and Factitious?) is happy with kickstart.
>And just to make sure you get it: According to the law there's a certain amount of 'freedom of speech'.
Hell, why don't you just sue kickstart?

Oh great, that means I can invade your board and post tons of completely off-topic nonsense messages? Cool. Gimme the URL, please. |
