falxori 0 #1 September 10, 2003 got a notification that someone has replied to one of my posts by email. when i tried to open it all i got is " Quote Forums: Permission Denied Oops! You are not authorized to view that page does it mean the post was deleted? i wonder why would anyone delete a post expressing pain over the loss of 15 people in terror attacks.

SkyDekker 1,465 #2 September 10, 2003 My guess would be that the post got deleted due to the racist remarks certain people posted in your thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

falxori 0 #5 September 10, 2003 if so, the people who made those remarks should be warned, or even banned as far as i'm concerned. i don't expect the greenies to go over every reply and remove the offensive ones, but deleting the whole thread (especially an important one (at least to some)) seems rude and heartless. sorry if i'm being touchy, rough times...

skymama 37 #6 September 10, 2003 Yes, it was deleted because of the racist comments. I didn't want to lock it because they would have still been up on the forums for people to read. Dropzone.com is way too much of an international community now to have comments like that up on the threads.

miked10270 0 #7 September 10, 2003 Hmmm... A "Deleted Post" Is this something of a first? I'm well aware of threads being locked, but "Deleted" seems a bit Orwellian. Mike.

Muenkel 0 #10 September 10, 2003 And I second what Justin just said. Having survived an unfortunate banning myself, those people will survive. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #11 September 10, 2003 You would not believe the amount of shit I have to delete on a regular basis. Some people have no common sense whatsoever when it comes to what should and should not be posted. "This is no democracy" is not a joke. If you cannot live by our simple rules we are more than happy to censure you. Live with the rules or move on. As Andrea pointed out, this is an international forum. People need to take that into consideration before posting inflamatory subjects. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
falxori 0 #12 September 10, 2003 well by that you've cured the patient by killing him. i know you meant well, and fighting those remarks is very important. but still... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miked10270 0 #13 September 10, 2003 "if so, the people who made those remarks should be warned, or even banned as far as i'm concerned. I agree with you on that." If you're going to BAN people for making racist remarks then is it time for me to "Be afraid... Be VERY AFRAID"??? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Gawain 0 #15 September 10, 2003 Now, I'm not trying to be a wisenheimer here, but what exactly is considered "racist"? Bear with me here. Being a caucasian, I don't take the term "cracker" as racist, even though I'm sure that's what's intended. I do believe the "n" word is racist. Is the term "ragh**d" racist? Or is it more "sand n*****" that's overtly more insensitive? I'm all for ensuring good taste and good manners, but at the same time, even with an international audience, it is important to know what words may mean. All that aside, I take it that it's not possible to delete single posts? What if I was talking about a fag ... what did I just say?So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

WrongWay 0 #18 September 10, 2003 Wait a minute dude, am I reading this right? It sounds like you were the one making the remarks, or you just agree with them.

Muenkel 0 #19 September 10, 2003 Could "no racist remarks" be added to the forum rules, or does that require a 2/3's vote from the greenies and HH's final signature? _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

falxori 0 #22 September 10, 2003 no. it was about a double terror attack we had here last night which killed a lot of people. and among the relevant replies there was one saying something like "ban all muslims" or worse, but i dont remember the exact words, i kinda ignored them.

skymama 37 #24 September 10, 2003 When people start quoting offending text, it makes it very difficult to delete certain posts and if I do all of them that reference it, it really chops up the flow of the thread and makes it difficult to follow. I'm sorry I had to send it to the trash bin (and yes, that is an option we've used for quite awhile) because your original post was indeed very sad and is an important issue for all of us.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #25 September 10, 2003 Here is the important news that falxori was informing us about: 2 terror attacks, one day 18:00 - a terrorist blows himself in a bus stop, near a hospital outside Tel-Aviv killing 7 (mostly soldiers from a nearby base) . 20 wounded. 23:00 - a terrorist blows himself in a coffee shop in Jerusalem. so far 5 dead, dozens wounded. it appears the security guard spotted him and stopped him at the entrance. Sad, Sad day. wish for peace, prepare for war.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
