Should Our Posts Be Moderated?

[Gaeilge]

Do you think all out posts should be checked by a moderator before they are posted? Like the way they are now.

I think they should be posted right away, making the forum more active!


If You Read It... You Vote!

you can see who the Bgay chat traggics with no life are. Go outside for a day or two, breath the air. Its not like life as we know it has stopped because they are upgrading.

We have decided to moderate all posts for now because the forum is being targeted by spammers.

Well, if that is the reason then you have to do what you what you have to do.. I just don't want to see a gay site emulate the right and start infringing on our right to free speech. That last
debacle where certain words were censored on bgay was absolutely insane...If you were to take all the words out that you think were offensive, there wouldn't be any conversation at all.Furthermore, the person that screamed the most to bgay about the language was a 32 year old who was into underaged boys.This is like running around and saying " Oh shit !.I stepped in number 2.This is getting discouraging.I guess this posting will be a test case for moderating.I don't expect to see it any time soon. But that's ok, i have expressed my fellings about moderating and censoring many
times.I have seen how the forum has become a battleground but moderating is not the answer.

Sometimes it is nice to have freedom from expression also. Imagine if the likes of Reverend Phelps "followers", Sister Angelica/Dr. Laura fans decided to post their antigay sentiments on here or make comments in the chat? Let's not take the free of speech argument too far. There can be too much of a good thing.

Yes, else you'd have nothing but spam all over the place.

Not to mention members who disagree with one another having fights.

I read in one thread a user said this; 'We can post anything we want any where we want!'

I completely disagree. As always, there are rules you must follow. I'm quite sure the owner of this site doesn't want to log on and read a bunch of drama and spam. >_>

Anyway, I agree with the moderating posts.

My suggestion, hire about 2 or 3 Global Moderators(Moderators who can monitor all forums) from different Timezones. That way the forum will be well modded until it grows more.
