they will be changed if..
1. They are too cryptic
2. The state as fact something that is only rumoured
Also Mr Flash, putting your headings IN UPPERCASE just makes you look like you crave attention..can you please not do it unless its something genuinely urgent. not just you venting![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

To link a changed subject line to censorship is not only wrong, but to then pump up the tires of your own forum in the process is terrible form IMO.RedWhiteBlack wrote:Lol... and to think you were moaning about the "Official" Saints Central forum potentially being moderated/censored.
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

The FACT is that they need to show some nuts.
And surely posting on a forum suggests that one craves attention - surely if you didnt want any attention you wouldn't post on a forum? - brilliant point Einstein

And no, I reckon the vast majority of posters here dont crave attention, they are just interested in good conversation and debate with other Saints addicts....hence they manage not to scream their headings out in big capitals

I have been noticing that the mods have been becoming a bit tougher over the past few months. They have been increasingly closing threads which are becoming heated or which they deem to be based on unsubstantiated rumours, changing the titles of threads, moving threads to the boondocks forum, deleting posts that they deem to be offensive.
It was a good trend when it started, but, guys and gals, please don't make this place so sterile that it ceases to be entertaining. I like to see a bit of flaming and a bit of personal abuse, and a few outrageous or satirical threads.
BTW, I resent the decision to move my thread about Cousins being appointed to the Reserve Bank Board over to the General Forum. I am certain that the Reserve Bank Board collectively knows a lot more about AFL than does the AFL Commission, so I think the Opposition/General Footy Discussion Forum would have been far more appropriate.

Yep, outrageous, satirical..even a bit of flaming can be done with wit and cleverness...and Im all for that. Personal abuse tho? ..not on my watch sorry.meher baba wrote:I have been noticing that the mods have been becoming a bit tougher over the past few months.

God I love a laugh as much as anyone..and I think the numerous people on here who know me would back me up there...but plain ol' abuse isnt funny or entertaining IMO
Thread titles are a pet thing with me....and other mods too..especially when they are wildly misleading...Something along the lines of "COUSINS TO BRISBANE" followed by a post of "my mate heard from an good source..etc etc" will always be altered if I see it..sorry..its just plain incorrect.
The moderation on here was re-structered a while back because there were just too many complaints to ignore about the abuse and general nastiness of the Forum. Now a few of us might err on the side of caution, but Id rather that than days go by with no mod near the place and WWIII
erupting. Tis never gonna be perfect, to some the abuse they dish out is written off as harmless banter, but I reckon we do OK given that we cant be here 24/7

I've no idea about this context for this thread.
I think the "truth in thread titles" notion isn't a bad one though. And I don't mind the moderation here, it seems level headed but that's from a perspective that is both generalist (i.e. I don't read most posts properly) and fatalistic (I survived St Kilda during the 80s).
Can the aggrieved folk list their original titles and their new forms for my amusement?
Enjoy moderation in moderation.

Stop posting threads in caps, it's bloody annoying.
