about the Mods and Ippolit/RobboLito

Post by Matthias Gemuh »

My opinion is that the mods have handled the Ippolit/RobboLito issue acceptably well.
No download links are permited but who needs them ?
Doesn't almost everybody have Ippolit/RobboLito already ?
Free speech has not been hindered on this issue.
We should not forget that just a year or two ago every post mentioning the forbidden word "clone" was immediately deleted.

Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I agree 100% (first time in a long time but I do)

No argument from me about this.

To be honest, their policy is in line with that of previous moderation teams (including those which I was a part of), so despite my initial protests, I would have to agree also. :wink:

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through

It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied

It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied
You better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell

You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth
