http://zeropaid.com/bbs/showthread.p...7&page=2&pp=15 Heres a thread that was closed cause of the close minded. I dunno but threads get closed without members even discussing the issue. Heres what i would like to see.
A small space that says ANYTHING Goes forum. The title will read that, as well as a small statement that says, These post and the members does not represent the views of zeropaid, these are just random thoughts and talks among the members and mods will not close it for anything that goes on in the Anything goes forum. We here reserve the right to excersise your right, and we know how important freedom of speech is since we support file sharing, and the sharing of topics.
The real illusion there is no control, the bible speaks plainly of it. You can control many parts of the man, but the tongue is something you cant control. Just cause threads get closed doesnt mean the thought or what was said has vanished. Oh and never take anything personally on here. People will say crap, and people that are thousands of miles away are of no matter what so ever.
It be nice to have a post and if someone gets picked on, or flammed at. Dont respond or encourage, and even ignore.. The ignore feature still works.. ?
Happy Holidays
This thread will self destruct when five unhappy people read it and before it reaches the third page.
No flaming forums which is what your suggesting. They dont work out and its will only encourage people to flame and cause problems and it really is a all or none thing because you cannot contain it to one forum.
Freedom of speech does not give a person the right to walk all over or be disrespectful or insulting to others. Why should others have to ignore someone who is flaming when that person shouldnt be flaming or picking on someone else in the first place.
Everything goes == No control for Seph.
I think it is a good Idea because some of the bests threads here with debating have been closed because of "flaming".
Potato's thread was closed the same way the other thread she was complaining about was.

" I rode into Salt Lake City prepared to do my journalistic duty and arouse the public ire against polygamy. However, when I saw how ugly were the Mormon women, I realized that the men who marry, not one, but many of them, are Latter Day Saints indeed and deserving of the praise and gratitude of all mankind." Mark Twain
hey powerman how many usernames do you really need here anyways? I would figure one would be more than enough.
There is a difference between debating and just flaming and insulting eachother that is gets out of control. Wrapping yourself in the flag and getting on your freedom of speech soapbox doesnt give people the right to flame others or to act above the rules under the threat of them crying about the 1st amendment if they dont get their way everytime.
A flaming forum are bad and will only lead to very bad things as it has on the other p2p forums which allowed flaming to go on freely. We do not need to allow people to freely flame here because they choose to come here and if you choose to post here then you can follow the rules or if you dont want to follow the rules and be able to flame, insult and instigate crap people have the choice to go someplace else to flame, or insults and do other things that arent allowed.
wonder how long this thread will last before seph or another mod closes it.

I have one Username and I am damn happy with it.Originally Posted by Sephiroth
If theres a difference between debating and flaming you do not seem to know it.
Just because you get some sort of power in a forum does not make you god, and definately does not allow you to decide what people can say. You are not Bruce Almighty Seph. You are Seph, from Florida. I am sure you are a nice person in real life, but here you just dont show it.

I only gave up on my thread because I had to go drive home before it started snowing more. Death wasn't on the agenda today.
I don't like that my thread went completely off topic and into the shithole (not saying it wasn't an interesting and educational read). I don't feel that anything was really accomplished in respect to the topic. Actually I was hoping for more member input than what there was (on the damn topic, that is). I still think it's a load of shit that mods can have a last word when that isn't an option for anyone else in a similar situation.
An "Anything Goes" forum would create hell on zeropaid. People can't f*cking control themselves enough to make it work. However, I bet I'd find it very entertaining. We'd all know what others thought of us, that's for sure.
A Debate forum would be interesting. As long as people keep the personal comments to themselves... and as long as people don't bait others.

If you want to be entertained by people on a forum then go visit the ESV forums...
Seph, this is just the type thing that makes people resent you. You just made a flippant remark to Potato that there was absolutely no need for. You took an innocent remark and turned it upside down, and in the process tell her to go to the ES5 forums to be entertained...as if the forums here should under no circumstances be entertaining. Why do you have to make these snide remarks to your members, Jorge & Dub's customers? please get a clue about leadership and human interaction, and have some respect for the members. But you reap just what you sew, Seph.
Alot more people than just potato say that and it wasnt made towards her and it was a scartastic remark.
Many have said they dont mind flaming because they find it entertaining. Even if it was allowed here which its not other forums which allow flaming would be much more entertaining than this place ever will be.
You guys are all off base. This place was never meant to be what it has mostly become. A place to discuss whatever you want.
They created a lounge and then a huge influx of knuckleheads arrived and made this place a goofball forum and believe it or not, this is a privately owned forum and peoples rights to do as they wish do not apply.
You are currently enjoying a chaotic forum , perhaps it will be changing soon as it is way out of control now.
This is a p2p portal and like anyone who works might feel. When you create something there is usually a focus or point to it. I sincerely doubt this place was created to be a playground for anything goes.
The name was grabbed on a whim...they didn't have any idea as to what 'zeropaid.com' would be.
As for it being a private site...sure it is, but I could give a fuck less about it being owned by Jorge or "Bill" or anyone else. It's a site that tries to draw people in just like any other. They have ad's and sponsors, they sell shirts.
It's a hobby that's paying for itself (and probably more at times) so before you go getting all high an mighty you might wanna think about coughing up the cash for zeropaid's hosting.
Unless people such as myself or Kooperman and Potato enjoy hanging around here all they'll have is a few p2p links/some chatter between some close Cali friends and maybe a few loyal members who'd take every bit of mod power tripping shit just because they like 'zeropaid'. So if ya'll don't mind kicking out hard earned cash to talk among yourselves on a dead forum then go for some 4th riche shit. If not then let the ad's do the bill paying and chill out on people using a forum to....dum dum dum...communicate with each other and talk about various things.

If someones flamming then obviously they are just too imature to have a normal discussion, and then need to be removed, but closing threads and others for not likeing an idea or sharing views. I was talking about that freedom. I think its a shame we post a thread in a feedback area to get feedback from you guys as well as the many members and it gets closed in the feedback area. The networks are full of obscene things, and that we allow kids to be able to post here is another thing bad language or insulting isnt tolerated. Why cant it be a playground?? you see how many kids are registerd and playing here? The front page is the portal of filesharing, the forums are their to go deeper into every aspect of peoples lifes. Is it easier to close the thread then it is to take out a post? Im just posting this in the feedback area to get everyones feedbacks. People are going to be honest to a point and tell you how they feel and why they feel that way. Its not personal, its that people have discussed things in other threads and when they make a point that its not favorable it shouldnt be closed. Out of the people who are registered, only a 100 may post on a daily basis or read any thread. So chances are you all can handle the excitement we may give you on a time to time basis. Its not like i dont enjoy being here and reading what others say or post in the news section. If i really had a problem which i dont, just that i couldnt post in a intresting thread was my biggest concerned.. Maybe if us members are really unhappy about the things going on maybe we just complain loudly enough to jorge to take action. Thats why we created a thread without PMing jorge to death.
In a sense you're right, it was an interesting thread, or start to a thread. It was closed for the stated reason, which was right, even if it wasn't what some wanted. Ask yourself, if it hadn't resorted to off-topic attacking of a mod, would it have been closed?
Potato didn't mention anything about the 'evils of Seph', but she was discussing one particular thing she didn't like about mods work. For some other members to simply use it to continue on a fight that was started elsewhere wouldn't be tolerated at any time, so why would it if a mod is attacked?
If there were many threads attacking one member, it would be stopped. Are you saying that mods are fair game to attack?
I'm going to have to agree with shawners on this one. Like a section on the forum where anything goes like speak youre mind enlight the world. I have seen this done on many other forums and it suprisingly works well. Less people go out of line, less needed to close threads. What I thought was funny was that it reduced the "unwanted" stuff from happening on the rest of the forum, but the actual anything goes section had the least amount of threads in the whole forum. So it's just a tad of extra freedum. get some.

like honestly, who does that?!?!
