i have noticed for some time now this is what it says just after you click "post" in your reply window.

i am not looking for a NEGATIVE thread. if i could make this a closed topic i would!!!!!
i just wanted everyone to think!!!

if the Times Daily could read every post, do you think they would say that about what you just wrote for everyone to read?
just a thought for the day. maybe we can start finding the fun in this place again. or, maybe we all need to learn to live without it!

This place used to be fun - a difference of opinion is cool. Psycho drama that brings out the 13 year old in a person is not.

I am truly sad & embarrassed for some...

Can we go back to making this a fun place?



GREAT comment Fire!!! Oh so true too. I agree with you 100%.

I agree.
So, what I'm hearing is free speech needs to be monitored and squelched. Who would decide what is "acceptable" and under what guidelines?

Maybe you guys should lobby the mods for a "fun" or "nice" section, that could be controlled for you, deleting what y'all consider unacceptable. Sometimes, direct speech may come off as rude, although it's not necessarily intended that way.

Now the high school stuff, I can understand what you mean.

As far as the 'continue' button, if you just wait a second or so, it will go automatically, anyway.

Girlfriend, I couldn't have said it better myself!
The use of a forum belonging to a private company does not constitute free speech. It is up to the owner of the website to set the rules and run the website. If libel were to occur it would be almost impossible to avoid being a defendant in legal action. The same is true of copyright issues. Once they become known to the owner it is their responsibility to manage the problem. In as much as they provide the website as a public service we should respect their rules and their moderation. In the world of capitalism we are given a choice as to go somewhere else if we don't like it.

You're comment is spot on. That's why on the site I admin on, we moderate so efficiently- that and it's family friendly G-rated too. So we have to monitor it all.

TBG, good thread, it's thought provoking. I suppose there's been times that Times daily wouldn't thank me for my comments. I'd rather though just have fun, and thought provoking- so the last little while, I've been leaving posts that hopefully make people think. Big Grin

Hope you're all having a beautiful day today. It's definitely a pretty one. Big Grin
