Hey guys, I've been using the internet for a terrifyingly long time now since BBS days which kind of came before the internet and one thing that I've noticed with different platforms and different mediums is that the ones were that sort of moderated and there's an operator and you know they can choose to ban people. Those ones kind of suck. That's one thing that really put me off ILC when I first thought I'd using it and sort of like hashed urban and ZD net which is literally just crazy long time ago now was that you know some some of the illuminati, some of the cabal had the sort of operator status and if anyone sort of like insulted them or they just didn't get along with they were just you know kick ban them and that would be that. What I choose to do on ILC if I don't like the person I just slash ignore that person. Ignoring is so much better way of dealing with someone you just don't you know want to hear from. Banning them is really the wrong approach in my opinion. So same goes for email lists if I if I don't like what someone is saying I just choose to ignore just delete the the email I mean obviously that email is a little archived on the main list and everyone else gets it and they can choose to read or not. I you know I make my own decision. I like to make my own decision. I do not like to enforce and be fascist about it and that's and and basically census someone from speaking. So the reason why I mention all this is because here we are I'm I dead to post on the arch Linux forums I'm not not a fan of web forums not a fan at all and well what's the problem here. The problem here is that I I basically got up well let's see here. The content is not important I mean I I think I am being accused of being a rarity I mean to be honest I wanted to have a debate about UFI and my experience of it was not very good but unfortunately I you know first off the the operator here the forum moderator Trill Beases you know I lucked out today because I was in a good mood this morning and my my post wasn't been I deleted from the forum and that means that basically no one gets to see it just gets deleted. Instead what they did was put it in the this this is going nowhere for them and you know I don't mind that if someone wants to wrench it out from installation and they think oh well oh well this is just I don't know not appropriate for installation this is some sort of wider debate blah blah blah I mean that's all very well but the thing that really annoys me that is if you you know open up if you if you try to link this it doesn't work she bad requests the link you followed is incorrect or I dated they're basically not only put it into another forum where people don't see it they've made it sort of unlinkable right so basically this is just as just as good as if it was deleted really I mean this is this is what way over the top this is this is like kick-banging in my opinion so you know where you can see my my discussion on for me to link to discussion as I try to do on Twitter so anyone following that link just won't see the discussion won't see how it was moderated you know if someone chooses to read this they cannot so this has gone way way too far way over slash ignoring it's more on this sort of kick-banging thing and you know I think that we had a fairly good discussion in the end but unfortunately the the power all powerful moderators didn't think so and sadly power corrupts and please do not forget that
