    Well looks like AlienQ got banned for speaking his mind.

    What happen to freedom of speech?

    Freedom of expression is one of the most fundamental rights that individuals enjoy. It is fundamental to the existence of democracy and the respect of human dignity. It is also one of the most dangerous rights, because freedom of expression means the freedom to express one's discontent with the status quo and the desire to change it. As such, it is one of the most threatened rights, with governments - and even human rights groups - all over the world constantly trying to curtail it.

    The United States, probably like no other nation, has recognized the importance of freedom of expression to safeguard democracy and grow as a nation. However, this does not mean there are no efforts to try to curtail it. The internet has often been the target of this efforts, as it provides practically everyone with the ability to communicate their ideas to wide audiences and escapes the ability of the state to control it.

                  No the law doesn't. But freedom of expression is what makes GFY great, take that away and you have every other overmoderated pos forum on the internet.

                    Saying a mod should be shot deserves a banning.

                    Besides that, freedom of speech doesn't apply on a message board. You don't have any *rights* to post here, it's a privelege - even if you don't agree.

                              Try going up to a cop and provoke him... call him names and tell him you're going to shoot him. What would happen?

                                                The cop will say, "I can only lay charges of uttering a death threat if there is a reasonable expectation that the person fully intends to carry through on the threat."

                                                  what does "freedom of speech" have to do with a message board?

                                                  its not like you are standing in the town square. you are on private property and are a guess and as a guest are subject to the rules of the host. get used to it.

                                                    The thing is that if someone would put a nice, well-thought out thread with reasons why Headless should not be banned, it would probably work. Advocating the murder of a mod is probably not the best way to make it happen.

                                                    In the end, Lensman will stick by his employees like any good boss will.

                                                      Also, there is no freedom of speech on a message board. You are entering someone else's house and they have a right to dismiss you for any reason they like. I'm not defending their moves, but freedom of speech argument on message boards is so lame.

                                                          Never said it was a death threat. I said it was advocating it. If someone comes in my work and says to an employee "someone should shoot you in the head", I would kick them out.

                                                              Exactly, it's not a new rule and who cares if it was really a "threat" or not? You suggest a mod should be shot on *any* board and your ass deserves banishment.

                                                              It's really sad to see so many people that use this board, hell even virtually live here, so quick to insult the place and it's mods. It's their site, their bandwidth, you use the board free and you likely have made a few contacts, perhaps some signups, maybe even a sale or two.

                                                              Maybe be a little more respectful, appreciative that such a popular board exists for you and a little less demanding of your, ahem, rights.

                                                              If any mod wants to ban you, at any time and for any reason, they can.
                                                              Get over it.

                                                                                The cop will say, "I can only lay charges of uttering a death threat if there is a reasonable expectation that the person fully intends to carry through on the threat."

                                                                                Seen it happen (well, here in Canada).
                                                                                I've done that and you are right, I had to write a 4 page report to why I think this guy would kill me and that he is not just bullshitting me.. the cop said to me even if I told him right now that I want to kill him, there is nothing he can do because he knows I am full of shit, even if I really wanted to, he would need to prove that I am capable and intent to do so.

                                                                                I had this guy recorded phone converstations of violence screaming of how his life plan is to revenge on me, still wasnt enough for the cops to do anything.

                                                                                to this day thou, if this guy were to ever show up at my house or come face to face to me, his 2 years of talking crap made me more than ever prepared.

                                                                                  GFY is here for business, not pleasure. They are here to make money .. and yes try to have fun doing it. But the point is GFY owners need us as much as we need this board. We ALL our what makes GFY ... well GFY.

                                                                                  If Alien made a death threat .. then so be it ... he should be banned. But just calling someone out, or calling them names ... that doesn't deserve a ban. This board is called "Go Fuck Yourself" and I think it should be ok if that is thrown back at an admin if someone has a problem with them.

                                                                                  P.S. Loryn did a nice job coming into a thread with a fire extinguisher.
