freedom of speech is a responsability as a privilege.. you have to earn it... and it goes well with respect... if you just express your thoughts without thinking of the echoes of them, forget it... you miss the point. the moderators have to also evaluate if your thoughts respected the others... this is freedom of speech too... from great powers come great responsabilities... if your biggest power is the ability to express yourself, your responsability on the others respect and opinions is the same size...

Whilst drinking tea and eating crumpets for lunch. On a related note we had a beneficial conversation about members annoying (edit before thread gets closed) admins by spamming and posting spammy intros forcing admins in closing registrations to everyone. Like you said, and i'm sure with you if your not been minged you are left hanging in the balance.

Claims of freedom of speech on the Internet always cheer me up. I occasionally get the odd person claiming I've infringed their first amendment rights. I have a specially prepared link ready for them explaining that:

a: The first amendment only covers the US government not censoring free speech.

b: It doesn't cover private arenas.

c: The owner and server are in another country anyway.

My moderating team, mostly in the US or Canadaland, love to point it out on the few occasions it's needed.

At the end of the day, it is the admin's site and he can do whatever he likes with it. He can also treat members how he / she likes. It sounds tough, but it's the truth!

To be realistic the statement is a little inaccurate. They can enforce certain guidelines and run the community to an extent that they aren't being nasty/vicous to the member.

Example: I don't like a certain users username, I can't take it upon myself and viciously attack/treat this member badly otherwise the admin wouldn't have much of a community. Anyway, point being, you cannot treat members how you like you may be having a bad day and want to take it out on someone because they may have said something you didn't like and/or you didn't agree with.

On the topic of reading members pm's. I personally think this is a case of invasion of privacy. Pms are intended for one person eyes and that is the person who recieved the pm. I know of a certain admin site that has this script installed and views pms so i make a habit of ignoring pms which are sent to me. Members (my own opinion) should be aware of this if the sole basis is to stop spamming that most admins will blame for installing the script which is why I personally think they shouldn't have a problem in telling members before hand that they view members pms and have the script installed.

Makes me wonder if the read pm script is on this board which is why I ignore 99% of my pms which are sent to me from here.

Anyway. I hear tazmania is nice this time of the year.

I'm curious, how does ignoring PMs have any bearing on whether their read or not?

Because maybe the person who was on the otherside of the pm may be sending information that they don't want other prying eyes to see?

I'm still confused. How does you not looking at them prevent the admins from looking at them?
