Or in other words....remember your place and shut up.
I'd be careful Moses, as you seem to be on thin ice right now with the membership. Push much more, a decent chance you'll end up with a forum with no membership. Then you just have a ghost town that you're paying the monthly server bill for.
I don't think you are echoing the thought of all of the board members. A handful at most ?
What? You think because only 10 or so have actually bothered to comment publically on the thread being closed, that is the full extent of the disgruntlement regarding the direction the forum is taking if it continues down the censorship path? By they way even at 10 it is more than a 'handful' including 'surprise' from A447 a moderator, that moses took the decision and another moderator 'liking' two of the posts disagreeing with moses decision.
Lets face it , you have absolutely no idea how many members 'thoughts' cdnmatt is echoing, but I do know for certain your estimate/guess of a 'handful at most' ....that's 5 by the way.....to be woefully inaccurate and way off the mark.
10 is only the number on the surface there will be many more below the surface. Even I have had over a dozen 'readers' who rarely post here now make contact, and not a single one agrees with the decision. They are board members.
Your estimate of dissatisfied board members may be correct, but neither you nor I can provide authoritative numbers.
Certainly if the board owner took to arbitrarily closing threads left and right, or banned members indiscriminately, that would be a cause for concern. That has not happened.
One thread was closed, admittedly for a reason that was not substantive. The thread could easily have been left to end naturally. And some deletions by a moderator may also have been contentious.
Should the forum be maintained on an "anything goes" level, without the involvement of the owner or moderators? I would say "yes", but with one exception. Posts which are personally abusive should not, must not be tolerated. The owner or moderators have every right and duty to determine what is personally abusive and remove such posts, as they see fit.
I am sure we will never reach an agreement on this so I don't see any point in prolonging the discussion.
Cheers.

Exactly. Just as it was with Neal and then Surfcrest. Everyone knows the rules of the game before you come in to play. No different to entering a restaurant, aeroplane, hospital, bar in Thailand or anywhere else. No member (or group of members) including me is particularly important to this board. In fact a clearing out of some of the 'old guard' (perhaps too, including me) might be something to Moses advantage. Especially those who do little other than complain constantly about anything and everything. Just saying like.
