I'm glad you love a good debate and consider yourself skilled at bouncing off ideas. Please join any of our
Debate Forums and throw some light in, good debaters are few.
As far as the "gossip", I get the feeling you are allowing your imagination to fill in gaps where you don't have adquate information. Certainly you would not be the first to come on Curezone and assume that moderators have hidden little conspiracies going from which we make dozens of arbitrary rules. I assure you this is not so, anymore than moderators make decisions on posts based on their own opinions. We do not even have a formal way of communicating with one another. Speaking of skills, I'd like to add here that balancing disputing arguments on their own merits, without interjecting their own points of view, is also a worthy skill. This is what every court of law strives for in selecting a jury, people who can hear all the evidence and make a decision based on the facts, and not their deeply held convictions. It doesn't always work, but if it were a total failure then our legal system would be a complete travesty....oh, is that a can of worms? OK, another day, another forum. However, here on CUrezone, our system is not perfect, but we're trying our hardest to be a jusry as I described above, unbiased but as effective as possible. Our
Webmaster is always trying new things to improve on the site, but I assure you the moderators, in spite of the many accusations by suspicious posters, try to judge every post by the guidelines, and not from their own beliefs, whatever they may be.
The way the system is set up on Curezone, when the post on top of a thread is erased from view, all the other posts beneath it go as well automatically. Once in a while a good piece of information gets lost, but let's face it, in a flame war, hardly anything in a thread is any more than a flurry of personal insults and out of contol oubursts. A good debater can always get things right back on course and be able to maintain proper debating procedure.
As far as censorship, as has been stated countless times before, there really is very little "censorship" going on here, most things stay just as you see them. We mostly respond to the alerts that, you, the posters send us. It's just statistics, some will never be satisfied by the decisions that are made by others in custodial positions. So whatta ya gonna do... the world keeps on spinning and nothing's new under the sun.
Have a great day.
