Topic: Split: Complaint about deleted posts in the Dash thread (Read 394 times)

I always look at what's reported and if it's a tough case, discuss it with other moderators and admins.

14 Deleted posts for me today.

Thankfully, I'm saved some typing by RenegadeMan who has kindly got it "off my chest" for me with his eloquent repertoire of anti-censoring rhetoric  

[mod note: edited now off-topic (after split) content]

I thought that trolls are trying to kill this tread. Mods are much more efficient.

Ha, I just noticed 4 deletions after you posted that. Yer agree with everthing you say, its like we can't even speak anymore and can't express ourselves. I may be wrong, but I always put it down to nasty trolls reporting on every other comment, and the mods just deleting it without question, not even looking at what was posted (although hidden agendas can't be ruled out)

Take care,
Sub-Ether.

Dear mprep,

So just when I thought you might be realising your overzealous besottedness with periodically ripping the guts out of the Bitcointalk members' postings in this thread, is a level of censorship and control freakery that's not only completely unacceptable, it equates to the worst of the worst examples from around the world of free speech being both squashed and stifled, it would appear I've had 22 of my posts deleted in the past 24 hours so I'm mistaken.

You (or if not you one of the other mods, but given the PM you and I communicated on recently, I'm guessing it is you) seem to have some need of exercising power over your stakeholders/customers and deciding what they will and will not talk about to a level I find incomprehensible and (frankly) completely appalling.

I have already expressed in no uncertain terms just how completely and utterly ironic it is that we're here discussing developments in decentralisation that are going to facilitate a revolution for regular citizens the world over to escape the shackles and constrictions of the fiat monetary systems and allow free speech, free expression and free markets to be FREE of manipulation/control, yet our discussion here is subject to THE VERY SAME command and control ethos (i.e. We the Bitcointalk mods will decide what you can and can't say, what aspects of the world financial system are related to Dash and what aren't and what posts have merit, what posts don't and what content is "approved" and what's not and we will delete everything and anything that we, using our personal interpretation of "on-topic", deem unworthy of in this Dash thread).

Now, perhaps you think this is perfectly valid and perfectly reasonable. I (and I suspect many others here) don't.

You are not exercising prudence and reason in the nature of the posts you're deleting; but you're definitely exercising your perceived power and ability to harm/annoy/frustrate. Goodness only knows for what ultimate result or reason. It's certainly not to add value and usefulness to this community because, in my view, you're doing the very opposite.

Why are you censoring this thread like this?

What possible benefit can there be in removing posts where we're discussing current world events that relate to the need for new financial tools such as Dash?

What is it exactly that's so wrong with posts discussing the Greek situation given the capital controls and other measures being imposed on the citizens there are the very things Dash is designed to circumvent?

Put it this way, we, your stakeholders, get much benefit from the interactions amongst us all and we're facilitating greater understanding of why key attributes and aspects of Dash are important WITHIN THE CONTEXT of the various financial problems occurring around the world as we speak (e.g. Greece, China, issues with other cryptos that can affect Dash, issues with exchanges and other systems that can affect Dash, etc). Why do you feel the need to intervene and remove these conversations?

What is your agenda and why are you acting this way? I'd really like to know and I'd really like you to reply to this post and tell us all (your customers/stakeholders/Bitcointalk community members here) just why you're doing this and how it's either benefiting us or helping Bitcointalk.

Can you please respond and engage rather than just deleting posts left & right and and thereby leaving this thread so incomplete? It is disheartening in the extreme to spend time writing posts that are deleted for no seemingly good reason and I think you owe everyone an explanation.

regards

RenegadeMan
