Getbig's Censorship of free speech

whats a "chook" vince?

Stupid and pointless threads should be deleted, but I don't understand how countless threads by the likes of Bluto and JohnnyFalcon are allowed to stay. They are not only unoriginal and totally not in relation to the forum, they also degrade the forum as whole to a lower level.

I agree with what Kiwiol said about haterade, but certain negative posts are perfectly valid. For example, just because someone gives their honest opinion on Kerry Cutler doesn't mean Bob Chick should automatically get the right to be trigger happy with deleting posts and threatening people with bans. Bodybuilding and the industry as a whole is judged subjectively, and any comments on Kerry Cutler's looks should be valid. If you are going to censor people's opinions, then also start censoring other stuff, like the race and culture bashing topics. Just don't censor one thing and leave the other.

One of the biggest problems as been an influx of new posters and gimmick accounts. They are trying to imitate the Getbig style by purposely trying to be dicks and not only is not funny, but it also makes the forum seem shitty. Ten different new accounts all trying to imitate Squadfather is a disaster and totally unfunny. People should try being themselves and adding their own brand of humor, not plagiarizing some veteran member.

At some pubs and clubs in Australia they raffle meat plates. Sometimes they include chicken meat.

What worries me is the thought that some dudes start up gimmick accounts to do their dirty work. I have seen this on other forums and it sucks. If mods do this then they are joining the flotsam and no wonder the place stinks at times.

Not only do threads by Bluto stay but Ron even rewarded his bullshit by modding him on three boards, and even remodded him on a board three times after the posters ran him off each time.

Not only do threads by Bluto stay but Ron even rewarded his bullshit by modding him on FOUR boards, and even remodded him on a board three times after the posters ran him off each time.

fixed

[PANDAEMONIUM]

Some of you queens need to STFU.

This is Ron's site =

he makes the rules =

you don't like the rules =

get to the alphabet boards pronto =

talk all the shit you want

[gordiano]

 What a load of bullshit. I'm a moderator here and we seldom delete/move any posts, even when the posters insult us. You think it's bad here? Have you ever been to other internet message boards? There are boards that will give you a one week suspension from posting for even calling another poster a "fool", whilst in Getbig people regularly insult other posters' mothers and don't even get a warning for it. The only things that will get you in time out are posting gay porn on the main boards - regular porn is ok -, making anti-Semitic remarks and calling Peter McGough fat. With the exception of these three things, everything else goes: threads ridiculing other posters fatness/gayness, threads ridiculing the financial status and family of other poster - see the Derek Anthony vs Squatfucker feud -, posting pics of naked female genitalia and of double-anal penetration, racist posts - except for anti-Semitism. Hell, Matt C wrote thousands of paragraphs about the supremacy of whites and Asians over other races for months, and he was only put in time out when he finally started to make anti-Jewish remarks. Gebig is by far the freest board on the net.

Well said. You fucking nailed it.

Ron, why is Bluto rewarded for his stupidity and lack of regard for YOUR RULES? Should he not set the example, as a mod? He's easily the biggest sufferer of keyboard diarrhea here at GB, followed by Retard Falcon.

You can't have it both ways, as far a censorship goes. And yes, the gimmicks and new idiot members are out of control. Many trying to fit it, but failing miserably at it,  since they're just here to flame and don't know how to at least be funny doing it.

Btw, there is NO reason why someone should go in time out for calling Peter McGough fat. Let's be honest here, is he not FAT? Indeed he is. In fact, he's not just fat, but obese. That's the truth. If he's hurt by such remarks, I can't help but question how he has survived all these decades with such thin skin......

Good post as always, old friend.

[calfzilla]

Hey Vince what's the name of that fat acceptance site you were talking about? 

[gordiano]

You got guys like Swede!, Johnny Falcon, Stark, The Coach, Ironneck and Tre starting ten fcuking off-topic threads each day.

Most will be moved.

But for the love of Mary Carey.

You somehow blame the moderating for these attention seeking whores not being able to post on the right board?

You know, it doesn't require a brain surgeon to figure out that bitching about Obama or copying and pasting from the Rush Limbaugh member section is something that belongs on the Politics board.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good to see you posting again, buddy!

I can proudly say that I have touched her IRL. 

[Stark]

I can proudly say that I have touched her IRL. 

The question is... where calfzilla where have you touched her

[calfzilla]

Finger banged her then put my thumb up her but...nah just talked to her at a club, just put my arm around her in a noisy club and chatted for a bit. 

[WillGrant]

Wannabes and flotsam populate Getbig so I guess we deserve the likes of Hedge and Chick to moderate them. A curious mixture of moderation and anything goes. What happens here is the mods allow all sorts of personal attacks if they agree with the vulgar and nasty dicks. When people want to silence me up pop the gimmicks with gay and pedo accusations. How nice. Why Ron tolerates this shit is beyond the pale.

I personally wouldn't let Chick supervise a chook raffle at a pub!

[bigdumbbell]

x2

[CalvinH]

Ron's board,Ron's rules.

[SweetMuscles]

Ron's board,Ron's rules.

Is the correct answer.

Also, for as long as I have read this board someone has been moaning about it. Yet they keep coming back.

Why? because Ron has built us the best home on the internet and all bullshit aside, he deserves a little appreciation.

i support the motion to have matt released.
