Vote of no confidence in the Mods

Who owns this forum?

I propose a vote of no confidence in the moderation on this forum.

They ruin it. And it is no fun because of their ignorance of the facts.

Any seconders?

What's wrong? I've been posting on this forum for 5+ years. And I'd say things are actually pretty good at the moment........

I'll go for that, everything seems "off topic"

You ruin it, psycho.

Thanks Billy. That's seconded then.

Speak up. The censorship is becoming biased and ridiculous. But I am all for free speech.

My post on the refugee crisis which you all saw WAS very much ON topic but this moderator Vincent has an AGENDA and is making a mockery of this forum.

That is the crux of it. Like it or not, someone owns this forum and we are guests and have to, within reason, operate within the rules of our host.

Of course, I agree. Otherwise we don't visit. but it has to be fair minded and non-biased.

We have long posts ranting about topics on certain countries, not wanting to name posters, which are allowed to stand, and it seems to me that points that the Mods don't personally agree with are subjectively labelled as OT, and warned or either binned.

Those posts are to the left of what a Neo Con would accept as the norm. Not meaning to be rude, just airing my opinion.

Dougpol1, If you need it I'll 3rd and 4th it for you, In the main the threads stay on topic and like you I am all for free speech, as the BT advert says ''It's good to talk'' as long as the posts don't become personal and we all say morning/goodnight it's healthy banter.

why has this thread been binned into off topic.

Some November afternoon in Warsaw... Poland Solidarity with France"

This is a polish forum I am Polish, I am standing in solidarity with this poster who took time to go to the french embassy to sign a book of condolence.

This Topic is important to both Poland and France

Shame on you .

Would you dump this if it was 9/11

Dolno: No sweat! As I have criticized fascists and other semi literate idiots, it must be the reason. You know, I'm much above all this crap.

I would be the first to admit I am personal, and of course I regret that. I don't understand the subjective moderation here.......as if we are not intelligent people, and the mods think their intellect is superior.

I have a problem with that. I am no better or worse than the next man, and yet we have this higher authority interfering with the message we are trying to get across.

And - why shouldn't a forum about Poland - our shared country of interest - the country that we all obviously love - be MORE FUN?

Why not discussions about music? About the Arts. About Events in "your town" What are you doing today? More "chat." This forum is all about hate - Why? I am a mouthy bloke but don't actually dislike anybody.

And if it has to be all about politics - then , like the Guardian forums, give people free reign to express their feelings - like a certain Balkan poster does - free of comment. Without telling people to f off of course lol - which is why I (rightly) have 3 warnings...)

Maybe he is the owner?

Yeah they could have cut the fascists bit out, but NOT what this thread is all about, and so what if you do exclaim your feelings at this time its understandable in the circumstances

killing free speech,, and hiding the atrocity that your thread is about, is the beginning of Totalitarianism, no different to the communists that enslaved my country

Don't take it seriously, you guys! It is only a forum....

Dougpol1, I like your comments and I agree, It's about a bit of fun, wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same, I note your comment about our Balkan friend, You could be right. Maybe PF should introduce a fun section. Maybe the mods should post a daily joke to make us all laugh.

This is an English-speaking forum. I'm not sure if anyone in the Mod/Ownership position is even Polish hahah.

Their main intent is to reel in new users. This is done by being relatively politically correct. It's been A-LOT worse around here. I am actually pleasantly surprised how well the Crisis thread/discussion has been moderated.

You very well know that if this forum was not strictly moderated you and the other similar retards would be eaten alive faster than the rabbit gets fecked.

If you live in Poland, you should know Gazeta.pl, probably the biggest online newspaper in Poland, and some other online magazines, totally ban discussions about refugee crisis. Have you contacted them to complain and/or boycott them? IF they don't allow such discussion, it may logically suggest it's not important to Poland, no? We allow such discussion in a couple of dedicated threads - BUT we don't allow to ruin them by off-topic messages. There are plenty of sites to discuss the topic in general terms - here, our goal is to do Gazeta's job and discuss it from Poland's point of view ONLY. It makes sense, this is a forum about Poland and Polish people.

jon357 as far as we can figure
he started it so he could warp young European minds with Progressive Thinking to enrich the culture. lol



You need a third ?

I'll second that

We know, we don't even have to ask you. Bet your socks don't stink either.

The Brit Bullies are all depressing alcoholics who don't believe in God, what do you expect.

See, self admission of guilt and the mods still tolerate you.
Great bunch I would say to be able to overlook such an annoyance.

They do, they let detective delph post every day all day, you don't think that isn't a joke. lol

Atta girl, now you're cooking with gas.
Just black letters on a white back ground.
Now make sure you keep it about Poland and on thread Douggie and you should be good to go............

I second that too and I've been here for 8 years


LOL

Jon357 owns this forums and he uses it to spread his hate agains Poland and spread multiculturalist, anti-catholic propaganda.

But indeed lately things are better here and the Mods stopped to ban anyone that is conservative.

At least that :)

you are all crazy. Administration of this forum is ok

We all have our brilliant and our retarded phases. Mods read all that and, normally, they themselves have different phases. They are people under pressure. Its not easy.

Good morning

No - meaning the discussion on refugees, and Polands' duty to them as an EU member is VERY much of importance to those of us wholive here.
I apologise for writing in capital letters, but the Poles in my circle of friends (all 5 of them......lol) are disgusted with the situation where their government turns a blind eye.

This forum is basically for Polonia, people of Polish extraction, and for Poles living here who like to discuss in English. It is also for the expat/TEFL community.

None of whom, in their countries of origin would permit such censorship as goes on in the online Polish "press." Just ask the Guardian newspaper - note I didn't use the word newspaper for the Polish apologies for unbiased reporting.

So, sorry, but your comparison is a non starter isn't it?

Vote of no confidence? Can you do that to a private entity that you don't own? Ultimately, in my opinion, the owner is free to do whatever he wants. It is his site. I do express my opinion to him and moderators from time to time, but I don't lose any sleep over it. I contacted them once regarding a serious issue and they were professional about it. When this forum accepted donations, I was a gold member.


The actual webmaster lists his name and business address openly in the "about" page. They got nothing to hide.


Wonderful idea. Except in reality the discussion frequently turns into a xenophobic garden and moderation more often than not ignores repeat offenders. I said this before and I will say this again, there is actual hate speech on this forum as far as the law is concerned, and repeat offenders keep coming back.


My biggest complaint is that they merged my thread regarding the rainbow on pl. Wilsona with the closed thread about the other rainbow. Therefore my thread can no longer be contributed to, even though it is a new subject about a new project not related to the other one except by being in the same city. And I asked moderators about this and they never replied. Ultimately, they lose potential content not me. If anyone feels so inclined, they can always contribute their content to any other forum.

It's a cover story. We all know that the power broker here is Jon and his promotion of a Turkish-Saudi Agenda.

Don't mention the Mithraist revival. Or is that just a load of bull...

So, gazeta.pl among others is not located in Poland and they don't have readers who live in Poland? Again, gazeta.pl and others totally ban discussions about refugees. Your explanations don't make logical sense, ... unless my first sentence is valid (which is not).

You are confusing censorship with keeping things in order. Nothing is censored - if something is off-topic it may be moved to the off-topic section, but it is NOT removed. Only spam or copied content is removed. You can continue posting anything in the off-topic thread and it will not be removed. Instead of appreciating the moderators' hard work to make the forum pleasant to read and use, you complain about them for trying to do their job well. It's like complaining that your house cleaning stuff picks up litter from your floor; sure, some litter may have value, but it is not sustainable to keep it or else your house will look, feel, and smell like a hoarder's house.

You clearly misunderstand my point.

Gazeta.pl has predominantly Polish readers. On that we can agree. If they choose not to discuss the refugee problem, that is up to them (although it doesn't reflect well on them IMO, but that's for another day...)

Most of the posters here are not domiciled Polish. On that also I think we can agree. So how can you compare the two? I was comparing people on this board to Guardian readers - who do not suffer censorship gladly. And neither should the educated and well travelled people on this board - in my opinion, that is.


I could not agree with you less. If the post is moved to some depths of the site, it loses it's import.

YOU decide it has no value ...your opinions, subjective, for that';s what they are....should hold no place here. They are somebody else's words - not yours.

You think that you should run this board. Entirely to your OWN satisfaction.

Congratulations. Enjoy it. But don't expect some of us to pat you on the back for a job well done.

Here, here.

I second your opinions Doug. I barely ever even come here anymore coz it's turned into such a cesspool of c*ntishness.
It's basically a forum for Plastic Polo and his inane ramblings, backed up by Admin & Vinny who are simply *************. They don't care that racism thrives here, don't care about the sexism and homophobia and xenophobia. So long as tasteless w!ankers continue to spread their sh!te daily here and keep threads active they're happy.

So, that's me gone for another week or so, I'll come back then, but nothing will have improved. You'd be better off engaging on the English language section of something like Goldenline or the multitude of Facebook groups that are currently en vogue.

How not surprising you're not concerned about polonophobia that is here as well.
