Just found this by googling...

Disclaimer: The following article is an opinion-based critique of a popular discussion board, and one that could be run rather more effectively if ever the admins and mods wake up to the fact they are slaughtering free speech by their abysmal set of rules and attitude.

There are several things wrong with the discussion board Thisisbigbrother.com :

1) The administrators and moderators do not believe in free debate. They loathe even tame arguments that would be better left to the individuals involved as opposed to stepping in all the time like that zit on your arse that just won’t go away.

2) The rules are pitiful for the most part, and serve only to take away a member’s right to hold an opinion. One particular rule (if you can stomach it) follows:

"Administrators of them forum have the right to delete, modify or change the content of any post at any time for any reason without notification to anyone. They can also ban or restrict forum members for any reason at anytime. If a moderator edits your post on the forum do not remove the edits."

And they say freedom thrives online?

I haven’t laughed so hard in years.

3) The members themselves. Yep, the overwhelming majority of the members are thick and are completely incapable of independent thought. Indeed, you will be lucky to find one that can write 3+ words in a given post, let alone a sentence!

4) Because point 3 was so fitting, refer to 3 again.

5) See 4.

6) You have more chance of finding intelligent life in a parrot’s faeces than you will ever on the discussion board that is TIBB.

Let us hope that, by reading through this informative critique, those over at TIBB will learn how to improve themselves considerably.

Footnote: Luckily, their fascist mods/admins can’t censor this particular thread, so it will remain here for all to either laugh along with (readers like me) or to infuriate (readers like them).

Either way, this article is A-Grade material and should be compulsory reading for all!

End.

Vladimir and MrLuvaLuva defend it though (in the replies)

[Niamh.]

lmao! Oh I wonder who that was? Who was angry back in August 2009?

[MTVN]

Lmao I wonder who it is

[Niamh.]

Oh I'm more interested in the last 2 comments now................I have my suspicions

[Maia]

I remember reading that a while ago. It was probably just a bitter member who had just been banned

Me too Although it's strange that that person bumped the thread after over a year

[Maia]

This particular moderator (he knows who he is)publicly rejoiced in banning one member with a very childish video and name calling. This video remained in the banned members list for some time, until another member posted a comment on the unprofessional behaviour of that moderator. It was then removed.

Wombai having a rant about Dezzy

All publicity is good publicity *hair flick*.

I'm not too fussed about a bunch of delusional banned members having a bitching session about me and the other mods. It just makes me laugh that some haven't moved on and are still sore about being banned from an internet forum. Says more about them then me.

Am i the only one that agrees with it? lol

How members have been unfairly banned (Stacey, Thomas & Wombai), for mainly things outside the forum, its just like getting a detention when your outside school at the end of the day.

[Callum]

How petty

Somebody is unhappy that they have been banned aren't they? I have been a member for over two and a half years and have found them to be mostly fair in their decisions. Somebody needs to get out more. I take it you have been banned from DS too. That says it all really."

3 perfect examples of when we got it right.

Thomas is Crazy.


No way could that return
after so many good chances

Also arguments are very one sided against a mod no matter whos in the wrong. As Admins don't check up on them, I know mods that bait constantly
