Getting banned

Censorship is not cool further if a MOD does not like what someone has to say they shld just stuff it. This is a community ran by certain people .....this is not Russia. People shld be able to share , I am seeing alot of 'you'll get banned ' stuff. Ridiculous ......open minds anyone?

Re: Getting banned

Where the hell are you ever seeing a mod telling someone that they will be banned for having an opinion?

We don't ban anyone over a simple disagreement.

We ban trolls and the like, sure, but there have been plenty of people with whom I've openly disagreed (I just promoted one of them to a mod, even), but I've never banned anyone simply because I've disagreed with them, nor have any of the other admins.

That said, this is a private forum and we have rules. Play by them and you'll be fine. Rock the boat and you're outta here.

Re: Getting banned

yeah we're not banning for opinions. note the name - it's the Opinion forums...

we do have rules though, to keep it from being an insane monkey house.

Re: Getting banned

Actually, I probe on the first flame lots of times. The warning to me is in the rules. But the first probe is a light one... say, not so deep and penetrating.

Re: Getting banned

I was writing to suggest having a humor seciton to go along with the "Creativity" and ....uh, other sections (that I can't think of) because I believe if given the right outlet while still being contained within something pertaining to TOOL, these little "practical Jokers" that get banned so easily might do better in a more "light hearted" environment.

There may be other forums that are already lighthearted where these types of folks could thrive.
