    You know, if Valtiel were in this thread, he'd have something hilarious to say about what he'd do with the body.

    ...

    Anyway I'm betting that the sudden cracking down on "ib4tl" might have something to do with this. I'm guessing that CNET wants these forums across all of tv.com to look as attractive, on topic, and civilized as possible to potential buyers (hence the Viacom purchase).
    Never thought of it like that, but I still don't like those pesky mods. Hmm I guess that was trolling.
    It's not.
    ***SPOILER***
    And yes, Viacom will definitely be in for a "pleasant" surprise.
    Woe is me, I flamed . Mods suck. Anyways back on topic this might be good thing, or me might not even notice a change a side from more ads.
    That's exactly why I said that's flaming! Because when a mod deleted "Avatar in the Minds of Teens/Adults 2" I said "It's official, the mod that deleted it sucks" in the 3rd one and I lost percentage for it and it was deemed as flaming.
    Those mods take everything so seriously, and if you watch their posts they never actually get involved with community other than to say, hey don't do that it's flaming.

    I'll probably get a warning for that one.

    Yes you will, for expressing your opinion.

    Oh, right. The internet is such serious business that even the first amendment doesn't apply.

    Of course! Didn't you know they changed the constitution? Right after the first amendment, it says "All of this is null if the internet applies to the situation." Trufax.

    Style points.

    On topic- Sweet Jesus. We're surrounded by Mods, being run by Suits. I inexplicably feel violated. This is actually very disturbing, considering this site is such a superficial and immaterial pastime.

    Just keep doing what you're doing. They can both go screw themselves.

    Actually, I read somewhere in the rules where it outright states that this is a dictatorship and the first amendment doesn't apply here.

    Actually, on commercial sites such as this, the First Amendment does not apply. I pull for free speech on principle.

    The First Amendment only pertains to actual spoken words. Which is why things such as the FCC exits. Television broadcasts, radio programs(in these cases, boards such as the FCC set policies), and commercial websites are allowed to set their own rules for conduct and speech, and we are supposed to follow them.

    I just don't like censorship.

    Ah! Of course, of course.. I forgot. But it really is a dictatorship.. It's sad.. It's a freaking forum! On the interwebz! Why is it so serious?!

    You're right, but if a new company/corporation buys a communication center like tv.com, and changes the rules or makes them more rigid, they are obligated to share information about policy changes with their users. (And they know better than to email us; it is far more effective, such as in the case of IB4TL, to post policy changes on the forums, since that's where we go and that's where the changes will have the most impact.)


    I remember when the Internet was first introduced into mainstream society and we all thought we were finally free... those days are long gone.

    She has a point.


    and if they even catch way of the Bikini Thread.... I don't even wanna know what'll happen.

    Like I said, they're coming to get all us fans who have been running off at the mouth. They already got one of their moles to take out SgtHydra and Nalesnik, the best of us will continue to drop at this rate.

    It's the beginning of the end, people!
