You're one of the ones who should know the harm(dissent). I can't think of the term, something along the lines of re-education, marxism, propaganda, totalitarian states. Maybe the site should be updated to say it's owned by Kim Jong-Un.Quote: AZDuffmanThis would be the 2nd or third time it was renamed. I can see no reason for the rename or the dropping it. What harm was happening?

Maybe.
But if someone thought the Nathan thread was doubleplus ungood at the least we could have gotten the usual "this thread is closed" notification. Instead it just disappears like some BJ dealer who didn't pay his shylock.
LET'S NOT FORGET THIS SITE IS A BUSINESS. That title suggests there might be something gambling related. If someone came here looking for gambling-related stuff and clicked on that thread they may leave and never come back.Quote: onenickelmiracleYou're one of the ones who should know the harm(dissent).

For some reason, I highly doubt there was that much thought put into it. It was probably just BBB saying FU to NATHAN. In the end, I think it was the correct move for everyone but Nathan.

You are correct, I have little to no clue what you are talking about. I get the feeling you don't either.Quote: WatchMeWinOh! You is a Bidnet man now? I Does it know day you know anyting bout Bidnet. Next you gonna be tellin us bout derivatives and monopolitives. U go boyee!

I didn't rename the thread. I'm not sure who did, or why. However, if you're correct about the reason, it's a very good one.
I did put it on hidden status under its then-current name, which removes it from the recent threads, but doesn't do anything else. There was a continuous undercurrent of trolling that appeared to self-escalate over several days, and a couple arguments starting, so I wanted to put it on impulse-post break without closing it. It is still available if people want to continue their discussion, but forum rules still apply.
Well that sucks, I was hoping it was you saying FU Nathan, I'll show you a C***.Quote: beachbumbabsI didn't rename the thread. I'm not sure who did, or why.
Oh well.
Can we do some investigation and find out who and why it was changed? I'm just a little curious. It seems to me only Mike or one of the LCB Mods would have done it? Perhaps OD might have done it, but I can't imagine he would be bothered or care about something so trivial unless he was trying to earn himself some brownie points like usual. Face doesn't seem like he would even care about such nonsense or WOV brownie points.
I take it, it still comes up in the new post's thread?
I don't see any posts unless they come up in the new post's thread and then it's only the ones on the first page. As to why I was so annoyed at MR.casinogames, little games.
With the corner being MIA I don't know where to post profound thoughts about everything on the Taco Bell menu tasting exactly the same.
Quote: MaxPenYeah, I can't find Nathan's Corner thread at all. This is some straight up commie censorship BS.
Sure you can. Just look in your own posts in the last 24 hours and click on one that says Nathan. The OP in this thread named it the same as the re-name, so just don't click on today's of yours.

Bottom line, what's been done is censorship. Not that we haven't seen that before....lol
I think Nathan was removed for hurling invective once too often, no? Or was it just for repeated profanity?
I don't think it was for appearing as a repeated sock puppet; I asked about that though and noted various theories.
I think it all comes down to a bit of a Taoist / "Groundhog Day" thing - we need to go through it more than once before we learn. Nathan might have learned by now, which might be a reason to have her back. Or maybe in a year, after which she would have learned even more, we might presume.
Quote: MaxPenBottom line, what's been done is censorship. Not that we haven't seen that before....lol
Bottom line, I had 3 choices.
1. Give out about 4 suspensions for trolling.
2. Close the thread, which could perhaps be censorship in a twisted way.
3. Take the thread out of the recent posts lists but leave it alone otherwise. Which I did, as the least impact to the forum and members otherwise in good standing.
You're confusing serving up impulse-trolling and escalation of bad feelings on purpose by featuring it, for censorship. Those that care to beat a dead horse topic, as it appears you want to, can still do it. For now, anyway. If it continues to draw flies and stink, I will close it, along with this protest thread. I would prefer to move past all of it once people have had their say, which it seems like they already had and were just on repeat, but I guess we aren't there yet.
Quote: MaxPenBottom line, what's been done is censorship.
Good. We need MORE censorship in this forum. There's too much obvious trolling and B.S. high school drama going on.
It's the first time I've seen that particular notice from my AV, but they want me to buy a VPN because Internet Providers are selling data now.
Is it normal for this website to ping my location data?
I still have a computer that remains unfunctional after the last thing it did was post on this website.
Quote: AxelWolfMy prediction: This poll will heavily be in support of Nathan being reinstated. I'm fairly sure most of those votes will be cast for the wrong reasons. Yet, Nathan will think, they all love me so much.
Thats exactly what happened when she was the leading vote getter in the Who Should Be The Next Mod? poll.
The jury is still out on whether OD has done a better job than Nathan would’ve.
Doesn't it follow that "websites" should have similar rights, yet no one here has thought to ask it's opinion.

Whatever, the Chinese have no defense against their censors either. It is obvious by the poll numbers that most don't see it the Chair/wo/man's way. When are we going to get our social credit rating buttons?
#1 allows for a free market. If something is suspendable under the rules, then do it.

Plus or minus an Electoral College.

We all know that most people view the site thru the recent threads. So even if you post noone will read it because the thread will not show. It is straight up censorship.

Agree 100%! Similar to having a primary debate on a Saturday night, when nobody is watching TV so the challenger candidates do not get good exposure.
I'm glad Nathan is gone. 10 votes (34.48%)
Nathan was right in her last post. 7 votes (24.13%)
Nathan wasn't harassed enough yet. 7 votes (24.13%)
Interesting
Do the 7 votes for "Nathan was right in her last post." count towards a reinstatement vote?

Right now Nathan has as much chance of getting reinstated as most 3rd party candidates have of being elected Potus
So all wasted votes imo
You just need to sell one of your helicopters and buy the site and then reinstate her.Quote: darkozRight now Nathan has as much chance of getting reinstated as most 3rd party candidates have of being elected Potus

People seem to confuse fear with wealth.
I pull so much money out of casinos they fear me more than anyone on the East coast
Nonetheless I still am not purchasing any helicopters
HINT: with dozens of people working for me and making their living from my operations the amount I pull from casinos is not the amount that winds up in my pocket alone.
But the casinos just see the full amount. And that is... something to be feared

There appears to be a pattern, but the challenge is to figure out what the pattern means. I’ve decided that the pattern is real, but the meaning is random.

Even the poll is gaffed against Nathan. "I'm glad Nathan is gone" only truly represents 26% of the actual vote. I'm thinking there were 7 votes for Nathan was right and whoever gaffed it just had it add to the wasn't harassed enough yet. Just more harassment of Nathan, even in her absence.

Not a big fan of trusting people who it appears never worked a regular job a day in their life. Not those who want others to know how much they are making. Much easier to believe inthose who earn trust and respect quietly.
But congratulations for “employing” others and helping Trumps economy grow. I must of missed where you thanked him for your large tax cut last year. I know your accountant had to show you how much you saved with the 18 rates versus 17. Along with the addition deductions for new hires, if you added staff, you saved a good amount. And if you feel you didn’t pay enough, you can always donate to the treasury.
And YES, I know the Trump comparisons are coming.

You obviously ignored my Darkoz History thread if you believe I never worked a regular day job in my life
I think 15 years at a regular day job including 9 for someone else qualifies
And yeah, I would not say your hero trump ever worked a "regular day job" either and he brags about his wealth all the time
So as usual your arguments go down the toilet
Or do we take you at your word that you dont trust someone like Donald Trump?
