Its like private businesses, there are no rules against who they can and can't hire, who can come in, what they can say.
Stores have signs saying "No shoes, no shirt no service". Who the hell are they to tell me what I have to wear? They're the owners of the store, thats who. They make and enforce the rules, so there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to do the same in my forum.They tell owners of businesses all the time what they can and can't do. For instance alot of places no longer allow smoking in restaurants. Or when they have health inspectors come in and tell you how and when to clean your eq. I know these examples are a little different but what I am saying is businesses are told all the time what to do.
I just get nauseated every time I think of any form of censorship and lets face it we have plenty right here on these boards.
Pet pea of mine is they should ban people for misquoting intentionally. The whole FYP thing is rediculous. I got in an argument a few days back with an owner in the suggestions forum and most of the way through he just kept changing my posts to be insulting. Can you imagine that guy having he power to edit your original thread? Link is below. Oh and I know I threw a few insults of my own before you say it.
