(no subject)
Dec. 5th, 2006 03:35 amlooking for something else, i found this. the irony was brilliant. it's from a forum post dated November of 2005, at a board i just came across while trying to find a website address.
clearly, we subverted them because no one could come to this conclusion on their own based on member behavior, that wasn't a power-hungry dictator of course. the span of our ev0l influence knows no bounds. ph3ar!!!!
"...NO MORE POLITCAL OR THEOLOGICAL THREADS
After consulting with the moderators and members alike. A decision has been reached to ban political and theological discussion from these forums in the interest of the communities well being. Therefore all such threads will be deleted by the moderators.
3dBuzz attracts members from around the world, people who come here out of the mutual interest and appreciation of 3d art. We are here as a community to help one another and grow. We leave our biases, politics and religious beliefs at the door because we have the desire to learn and improve our work as 3d artists in common.
NO MORE POLITCAL OR THEOLOGICAL SIGNATURES

Okay, guys, most (if not all) of you know that we do not allow politically-based threads in 3D Buzz. Up until now, this rule has not extended to signatures, as I was trying to give people just a little bit of room for self-expression. Nevertheless, after catching tremendous windfall from the signatures of those who use such freedoms to knock the chips off of their neighbor's shoulder, I'm going to have to extend the rule further.
From this moment forth, you are no longer allowed to have signatures in your UserCP that are political or inflammatory in nature. This includes profanity, statements regarding religion, or discrimination. In the end, I suppose it only makes sense; we don't want you to post about such things in the first place, and your signature is tacked to the end of your every post.
Most of you know who you are. Please get these changed so that I can finally stop receiving flak.
