    The Hole

    Allinthefamily.jpg


    We cant talk about family in the Hole. Can we talk about All in the Family?

    So the First Amendment does not apply in The Hole?

    Maybe instead of turning the Hole into a Chinese style security state we should close it.

    If we cant talk about family or act reprehensibly what is the point? That is what makes things fun.

    The first amendment doesn't apply anywhere here.

    I guess we are in different words if you think talking about people's family "makes things fun".

    The forum also has laws to deal with.
    UNmoderated websites are not responsible for what happens on there.
    Craig's List was a classic example. UNmoderated so thousands of trolls and BOTs everywhere.
    There is a price to pay for UNmoderated websites. Pure chaos.

    MODERATED websites have laws to go by and may be responsible for what happens if anything was caused by actions on their website.
    This is why they have moderation.

    Yes, moderators can be unfair. I have seen it myself in the two sites i was banned from.
    Fortunately, there are many more to choose from.
    Just understand a moderated website is the closest thing you will experience to a total dictatorship.
    That being said, you pick your poison and have fun.

    Fortunately, also, nothing that happens on ANY website affects your real personal life unless you let it.

    Using racial slurs is nowhere near ok. The fact of the matter is that the Hole may end up being closed because of your actions, not the actions of others.
    the Hole was to be used as a place to blow off steam or to post other things that couldn't be posted in the main forum.
    It is not your personal sandbox and you don't establish rules for it.
    I hope it gets closed, personally. It serves no purpose except for you and several others to say the absolute rudest things you can dream up. New members that come in are appalled at what you say there and do not return. The actions in the Hole tend to spill out in the main forum.
    My advice? Go open up your own forum where you can say anything you want to anyone who is there. It won't last long.

    A lot of people, to include me post questionable comments in the hole. Some just can't figure out how to leave the trash there.

    Personally I don't get why some get so spun up by strangers insulting an unknown family member. I don't care about what some random idiot says.

    and therein is the issue. If left unchecked, it does overflow into the main forum, as we've seen on multiple occasions.

    It looks like instead of closing the Hole, they will just use a series of temp bans. There's at least one member here who can only survive in a totally unmoderated Hole.

    I've been a member here for almost four years and I've been in The Hole exactly twice. Once to see a thread I started that had been dropped there and I was trying to figure out why, and once the other day when someone sent me a link in a PM to a thread down there and asked what I thought of it. There's more than enough in the open forum, minus The Hole, that is ignore-worthy without having to go picking through the garbage.

    It's amazing how "so-called" conservatives, of which are supposed to be very knowledgeable about the constitution, can be so $#@!ing dumb to know this website isn't the government, nor a government "actor" as one member likes to herp derp.
