i just kinda noticed this, i was just readingsome of the posts in case i could put in a word or two and there was one talking about locking these posts. Now if its a db drag forum, then why do posts get locked? whats the point, then that would mean if something that person or another one wanted to say something, they would have to post again, kinda like the whole hifonics post issue. Its a forum, i didn't think we'd be like graded on it, ya know. maybe I just haven't gotten much sleep lately, but I wanted to say something, thanks!

Posts are closed cause we (moderators) are doing our job.
Sorry that everything isnt perfect and all goodie goodie in this part of the forum, but we dont let s**t go down in this part of the town.
If someone wants to start s**t they are in the wrong part of the internet.... Wayne has the key labeled "banned" in his back pocket, so be carfull.
**PLEASE NOTE THIS POST WAS MEANT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT JUST LIKE TO COME ON HERE AND START S**T..... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.**
im sorry this post was so harsh and to the point, but im sick of the "why" posts.
Also its not going to help out asking who locked it, cause honestly im not going to point out a fellow moderator and hope they will never do that to me.
Ok, im ready for the flaming to begin.

how much does this job pay
and most people dont get on here trying to start things it is just of matter of speaking what you think is right and if you dont care what i think is right or any body toughts. then why even have a forum. i respect everyones toughts, i can understand some topics are way to political. but nothing will get fixed if you ignore it. you think if bush would of ignored what happened to the twin towers and wouldnt of started a war against iraq.then bin ladin and sadam probably would of have kept doing it. that shows that dont ignore things answer it with 100% TRUTHFULLNESS. thats why we are in america we can say what we want do wat we want. as long you dont violate any laws. and im pretty sure saying somethign about an amp is not against the law. or about locked topics.

i got nothing against you steve you are one of the coolest persons ive met. but honestly if you guys want to fix problems you got with people dont ignore it. you will never fix those problems. instead of locking topics i would think deleting certain posts would be alot better and sending those people warnings. if they go way out of line.

oh and about that so are lots of freeways out here that are privatly owend. but dont mean they got their own laws. alot of people dont say anthing cause they are scared to get in trouble. but what kind of trouble can you possible get in maybe banning wich doesnt hurt anybody but urselfs cause you never fix anything. and from what my lawyer said this morning was you can ban anybody you want. but when somehting is public acces like you say their must be a good reason. or it is prejudice. unless that person said something to break your forum rules wich i know saying something about an amp isnt.

first of all, you usually pay to drive on private roads.
This forum is on Wayne server. He can shut this forum down anytime he wants and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

well, i can see a road or like the pennsylvania turnpike you have to pay to ride on, but the heck if they aren't gonna want you to drive on there, its more money for them, so thats not quite right. I think he meant streets, like a private drive, but thats so you know its basically a dead end, gueesing. But the post above i kinda agree with. Wayne could shut down these furoms but what would be the point in that? Taking away even more reasons to be a part? I love this organization so i guess maybe i need to work on my communication skills or something. But yea, i don't think that certain people should have control over what is said to a certain extent, and like the person also said, if the post the person wrote says messed up things, delete that one post, but whats the point to lock the rest? I mean we have a post right now about posts being locked. Could of used this time to talk about next year shows

i love when i see "adults" acting more childish than my nine year old daughter.
my lawyer said yo ucant ban me if i didnt do anything worng. .whatever dude. grow the **** up.
its a privately owned server, its a private forum for db drag members. wayne can shut it down if he so desires. ANYONE can be banned if they so desire, and for that matter, db drag can charge for access if they want. it's thier website, thay can do what they please. and you, your lawyer, the supreme court, and no one elsecan do anything about it.
if you come to my house tlaking trash, do you think i dont have the right to toss you off my property unless you break my house rules?
the way i see it. you have three choices.
1. shut up and get over it. 2. shut up and go away. 3. shut up and go watch some porn on the web (always works for me)
notice something they all have in common?

As some others have mentioned, this is Wayne's Forum/website. He can do whatever he wants to it and noone can say anything about it. the moderators are hear to do a job, a job that Wayne has given them to do. Moderating a forum, especially one as big as termpro, is a very hard job to do. The moderators cannot please everybody when they have to put their foot down and they are not really supposed to. Being a moderator for a much smaller forum and an owner of another one, I sort of know what the moderators go through. It is tough and people think they are wrong (most of the time). The job of a moderator is to make sure things remain civil. If they see something that is out of place or can cause a problem, then it is their right to do something about it. I believe posting an explanation or something like that is a good thing. It is what I usually do when I have to close topics on the forums I own and moderate. I let the members see the explanation of why the topic was closed or deleted, then delete that. Moderators do not have to do that though.
I am not sure which posts are being deleted or closed, so I cannot comment on that (and it is not my job to comment on that). I do know of one that I was wondering about (question about autotek dealers in Jacksonville, Fl). I didn't find anything wrong with that post, but it got moved to the moderators channel for some reason. I am not going to ask why though.
If a moderator feels that a post or topic is going to start a war, they have to step in and do something about it. If every other word in a post has name calling, cursing, bashing, or stuff like that, the moderators have to put a stop to it. In the process of doing that, the moderators are made out to be the bad person. they are not, they are trying to (to the best of their abilities) keep the forum clean.
Now I feel like I am rambling, just woke up and brain isn't functioning fully yet. I felt I had to reply though, for the defense of the moderators. I hope what I said made a little bit of sense.
Yeah, we definately have no room to bytch. We are lucky that this forum even exists. if it wasn't for this forum. we would have to resort to sounddomain.com for audio info.
