Guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 "you can't blame the moderators or KS for putting restraints on political comments" Right on this point, but still a lot of the limitations come from personnal "moral" values of the mods. Oh yes i know... if we want we can bugger off... but that wasn't the point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Stickman said:we do NOT have certain freedoms that we might be used to or expect in other countries. Stick I think there is a lot of paranoia about what might happen if 'they' see something not to their liking. If thai authorities were taking action against people surely it would be the blatent pornographers first which have been highlighted recently.The owner of a general message board about thailand is not going to get the cops on his tail because of a few political arguments.If there are things not allowed fair enough, but I think the knock on the door fear is just an excuse. Can anybody name anyone chucked out of the country for running a web site of any kind? KS I assume the poster is commenting on you editing his comment in the pussy stench thread-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlton68 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 It doesn't have to be the police who is after you. A pissed off employer and working visa extension refused is usually more than anyone wants to risk for running a forum. I am not happy with all decisions done by mods and KS, but at least I respect them. Write a letter to your local newspaper on how you will start into the pimping business with girls on tourist visas and look if they will print it. Good luck. Maybe a reporter comes around for an interview, and next day you're in the paper as cover story with pics 'the wannabe pimp'. Sorry if it sounds hard, but before you criticise KS think about if it run's where you come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 So do you know of anyone refused a visa or losing their job due to what appeared on a website they were running?-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomez Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 What nazi or communist country are the board moderators from? You sound like a very naive young man so there's probably no point in responding. But do you think you can say anything you want in a letter to the New York Times? The Guardian? No you can't. Do you think that you can say anything on web forums based in the West? No you can't? Go ahead and try. Start your own forum. Anywhere. Trust me, you won't be able to say many many things. I can think of a long list of things that you can't say, anywhere. But I can see it's not worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 why do you say no point responding and then continue to do so? Arguments like try it in a paper at home or if you don't like it bugger off are the usual ones when censorship comes up. However, we don't yet know why Frodo's post was edited so we cannot say if cutting his comments was justified or not.-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomez Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 If U ask me still, it sucks so many topics and opinions on this board are off limit Yeah, sorry your thread proposing to traffic in human beings was locked. Don't worry, there's lots of really great human-trafficking forums on freighters floating in the Indian Ocean. Really good feedback from people who know.

Guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 That IS indeed a very interesting topic, I'll answer although I'm not sure wether it fits the forum regulation. Human trafficking :making money helping people through their aspiration to a better life, which is blocked by protectionnist governments all over the world. They sure knock on human traffickers hard enough for people to forget no one would need the traffickers without the passports regulation twisted crap. No matter how cynical the people cashing on illegal migration, they're here to answer very legitimate needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomez Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 why do you say no point responding and then continue to do so?Because I was a naive young man once, too. Why is it ok to call the mods fascists, but not ok to point out that it's not possible anywhere, to varying degrees? Could it be that it pisses you off because you don't have a response?
