Censorship gone awry-I am offended

[G 97]

How is it that two of the biggest WERA board rejects can continue their blabbering idiocy on this board while other far less "offensive" post are constantly edited and or deleted.   ::)

Ironic that the WERA board seldom if ever will delete or post edit any threads or post, while the CCS board is constantly censured.  Yet two doofesses that managed to get banned from the WERA board for being supreme tools are allowed to continue their complete and utter BS here.   Talk about offensive.  :-/

I am against censorship or editing/deleting posts, on either board.
Let sunny and corner fight it out....don't open the thread...it's that easy.
I find it amusing personally.

anyway...just my opin'

Are you a "Girlie Man?" ;D

It seems to me that posts here don't get censored until thy get downright hurtful or damaging to the sport.  Free speech is allowed until people refuse to show enough good jugdement to put a sock in it.  First ammendment laws don't necessarily apply here.  CCS owns this forum, making it private.

A good example of this policy in action was the cornerworker VS trackday org. thread.  All parties involved got bent and turned the situation into a shoving match.  Who was right or wrong?  WHO CARES!  The way things were headed, the debate could have created a serious rift between corner workers, racers, and the orgs that put on the show.  Damaging?  Uh, yeah!  So the topic got locked.  I would call that good parenting.  A bit more of that might make this world a better place!

Ninneys can yammer all they want, but if it becomes mean spirited, offensive, or damaging to the sport, it doesn't belong here.  That is my OPINION.  Flame if you must, but I won't choose to argue the point further.  Besides, My OPINION doesn't dictate the rules of this board one bit.  I just support the way things are handled.

And of course anyone who doesn't like it here has the full freedom to leave...

Exactly....

So who determines what is offensive.  Who determines when enough is enough?  Who determines when a post is "deleted" VS. "modified" VS. "locked".  What guidelines come into effect?   Maybe if we had some written guidelines and examples of what it deemed OFFENSIVE these sort of situations could be avoided.  Several got offended from the CW thread; I found it as a good opportunity to share people's perspectives in order to improve the quality of the product.  In the end I think open discussion always improves things.   I did not see any mean spirited or derogatory comments in the entire thread.  So by not discussing sensitive subjects, problems solve themselfs?

At this point, Dawn is in the driver's seat.  

She has my full support.  We push, she watches.  If we complain, she listens.  And I have seen her give warnings.

Dawn does, and here's another vote for doing a great job!

Garth, I know you to be a decent and fair guy. What posts specifically got censored that you're upset about?

(and really,I try, but don't actually read everything) :o

On the whole, I would have to agree...  Censorship starts within.  Don't like it?  Turn it off, look elsewhere, ignore it...

I agree. Look at me, I personally censor everything K3 says.

I also think that Dawn does a good job of controling the board. If we had rules all written out, someone would read them 3 times and find a way to get around them, and then complain that they weren't cheating since they didn't break the rules. That would turn into another cheater thread and we all know we don't need any more of those  ;)

Sorry, I am one of the guilty parties who caused that thread to be "terminated" although I did stop posting after Dawn told me to.   :-[  I knew I promised that I won't reply to Dan's thread and only post value added information, but when Dan starts BSing about his time, and how he's racing without being serious nor giving 100%, I just had to say something...........   ::) ;D  Anyway, won't happen again I promise.

Dawn did a great job and probably should have hit the "terminate" button sooner instead of tolerate it longer in my opinion.   ;)
