If could delead a Post that violates the rules or the sensorship of freedom of speech, before mods see it would save me from getting most of my points. It not fair take away the edit bottom in 30 minutes.

In your thread in the Technical Questions Forum, I addressed your question directly.
The Software provides you with ~1 Hour to make edits to your posts.
After that, the post is locked down by the Software.

May I suggest you review the Libel & Slander Statutes in State Laws, as well as the Supreme Court Rulings on the the Subject of Freedom of Speech.


Additionally, please note that Eccie is a Private Web Site.
As such; the Owners can and do, establish what content / subjects / and speech/language is deemed to be acceptable in the Forums.
Should you not agree with what they determine to be appropriate.
The answer is extremely simple and will save you loads of frustration.
Ask to have your Account disabled.

I do not know how it is elsewhere on this site, but the mods in the Dallas forums do not ban for posts (unless it is a post that is outing someone, but that really depends on the outer and/or the outee). However, they do temp ban just to fuck with you to play a power trip.

As far as points go, there is a reason why they make them private between the staff and the member pointed. The immediate response to that if you ask mod for that reason and they will say it is none of anyone else's business. But, in reality, depending on the violator of the GL infraction or rule based on a sticky at the top of a forum, so is the points given. That also goes for made up infractions/bans as well.

Unlike OH2 where there is one admin and a handful of site guides that probably can do no moderation tasks without approval each and every time, Eccie has several admins and mods so there has to be at least one that is fair and unbiased.
It is important to realize that the 1st amendment (as is the rest of the bill of rights) intended to limit the GOVERNMENTS action against the citizens. It is not incumbent any ANY privately owned business to comply with ANY of it, although most try to do so. Private business are entirely free to enforce no profanity, no weapons or no anything on their property without fear of successful legal action.
It's easy to not get banned. Just don't make DUMBASS posts!!!!!!

You would think that this would be self evident. I am amazed to see posters on here who denigrated ECCIE on other boards and yet here they are posting on ECCIE.

Here's a tip - don't be an asshole when you post shit. On this board or any other board. It's so simple yet for some people they just can't seem to grasp this concept. Probably why they are assholes.

On that same note, given that a website such as this is suppose to be an opinionated board, but all opinions are not welcomed, so instead of fucking with others, it would help to let people know what opinion they have to profess to have publically in order to be an accepted member to allow them to hobby with no drama.
