Thread: Stop it! Just stop it!

Stop the frickin' madness, already! Jesus Christ people!

I type in a reply to a new thread and hit send and I get back a message that the thread has been closed already!

What is going on here at this place? Seriously! Is the staff scared of non-happy, breezy, sunny, head-in-the-sand, threads being made?!

Is this place now going to turn into a censored, don't start threads that are allegedly (or what WE consider) negative about anything?

Aren't concerns and opinions about anything going on in the world ripe for a political forum, especially one such as this that used to have alot of input, opinions, ideas, and the like, from a whole range of people?

I don't really know where this forum is heading, but it seems to be out of control with censorship, threats, dictatorial-like methods and overall an movement to stymie free speech when NONE of that is necessary.

Do you, the staff, want stimulating conversations that include positive and negative feedback and opinions and all subjects? Or do you want people to type ONLY what the staff hear feels should be submitted? Is this forum going to now be turned into one that every submitted reply gets looked at by the staff before being allowed to be seen on the forum itself by all members?

JUST STOP ALREADY!

JUST STOP ALREADY!

The rules have always been the same.

"If you have an issue that you feel needs the attention of the PH staff, please use the PM function. Any issues with moderation will be handled in PM only."

Threads like these tend to become outrage threads that only serve to undermine the forum and scare good members off.

If you have complaints, you must address them through PM.
