Is there to much censorship on C5

[nards444]

Just wondering your all's thoughts on this.

[canadian ss]

I sometimes get a little shakey when I post. Been warned once for expressing myself and then a few months later someone else says the same thing and nothing happens?

[Chrisrp454]

Seems like if you are in the KNOW with the right folks, no.

[nards444]

yeah ive had the same thing, and sometime i think it depends on who you are. I just got booted because I didnt agree with the fact that the Camaro 5 girls were hott. Question was asked are they hot and I said not really, and I was slammed for ten days.

i'm sure that probably wasn't the only reason.. maybe you added more to the statement or said something inappropriate? (just playing devils advocate)

The moderators usually only react (delete a post, give a warning) when someone else complains and points it out to them.

Sometimes however, they do overreact to one individual's feeling of being 'offended', at the expense of another's freedom of expression.

No bs that was my only comment on that topic "not really". And that was the reason it said in my little ticket for getting booted, you are locked out for comments of "not really"

maybe a "un hott camaro5 chick" got offended? lmao

Because of "censorship", I cannot post the other picture that I wanted to post

Yeah I agree on my boating website they have one. I mean you can post pics or do just about anything. They let it get to a certain point but free expression is not limited like it is here. IM all about moderating and not letting people get to offensive but if somebody post something I think other have the right to disagree or agree whether theres some negativity or not. Were all adults

[LolatheSlush]

I'd like to "step in" here and offer my thoughts;

First, we're all adults here. If you're posting a comment, and have the slightest concern over the content of your post, chances are, it may get a response for a moderator. I feel 100% confident is saying that NONE of the moderators take any action without careful consideration. And it is NOT personal. We do our best to keep C5 one of the better sites by keeping a tight lid on the "internet BS" that occurs many places.

Second, I believe we're all (the moderators) available via e-mail. So if anyone feels the actions taken by a moderator are excessive, communicating and discussing it goes a long way in understanding why certain actions occur.

Third, I agree. Having an area "where everything goes" can be/is fun. But C5's primary focus is the Camaro, and the Camaro community. I believe the moderators time is better spent providing direction, and keeping the focus on the Camaro, versus having to delete posts, be the peace maker, etc., which may happen where "anything goes".

Finally, I believe the majority of members on C5 is a good group. The fighting, name calling, etc., seems to be less prevalent here than elsewhere. And I believe a BIG reason for that, is due to my fellow moderators. Believe me when I say, none of them take any action unless it's discussed, and no action is taken lightly. They go out of their way to be fair.

It's really simple; If you have any concern over a post, before hitting the SUBMIT button, ask yourself if you really want to post your comment. And as always, the moderators are here for YOU....ask any of us, and we'll be more than happy to discuss anything with any of you.

Thanks for your time
Ed
