Re: how do you

Now, I have noticed a pretty significant downfall in posts made on many of the forums over the past several months, but my thinking and that of many others is that much of the drop off was due to people not wanting to subject themselves to ridicule and bludgeoning by anyone who insists that only their views are valid and all others are to be browbeat into submission.

Or it could be they have watched as some power hungry, temperamental, moderators have censored posts they disagree with even though the information was factual.  And they started debates in violation of TOS then tried shifting the blame on to to someone else.  When that did not work they tried sending personal messages to people to encourage others to join on his personal attack fest to drive the poster he disagrees with away.  Of course when that was exposed the poster got banned from the forum so any facts contrary to the moderator's opinions could not be presented.

Of course reporting these TOS violations to the WM made no difference.  Even though I mentioned to the WM that failing to enforce the rules just leads to escalations, which is exactly what happened.  And the only thing that changed was I got banned from all the debate forums for complaining and someone went in to saved mails and erased all my private messages to the WM in an attempt to hide the evidence not realizing that I already backed up the messages off of CZ just in case.

Then there are all the troll pack attacks by the same pack of trolls not only against me, but other posters.  How many threads have been started and continued for the sole purpose of attacking a particular poster even though this clearly violates TOS?  The posts were not stopped or erased and not one of the perpetrators was ever banned for the repeated attacks.

So I don't blame people for being afraid to post when there are moderators who should be setting a good example abusing their power so only their point of view is allowed to be presented.  And when people repeatedly violate TOS trying to bait others or to encourage others to attack they are not dealt with allowing the attacks to escalate.

In my opinion another big part of the problem is that it seems like Curezone is less and less about healing all the time.  Look at how many posts there are on politics, religion and all the other topics not having anything to do with health and healing.  There was even a recent post on "catfish dipping' that got a RRR rating.  Is this Hillbilly Highlights Zone or Curezone?!!!

People would come to a place with a name like Curezone expecting information on health and healing.  Not for hearing debates on whether Obama's birth certificate is real or about the Occupy Wall street protests.
