erm I've just stumbled across a couple of locked threads and was quite surprised as to the reason for them being locked. I fully understand that a thread should be locked for abusive language or irrelevance to Mitsubishi cars, but locking threads simply because someone is criticising Mitsubishi or discussing Mitsubishi's poor sales figures should not result in a locking. Have you moderators never heard of freedom of speech? Do you simply lock every thread that contains opinions or attitudes that you disagree with? I would have hoped that a well visited forum such as this would have less ignorant moderators and the irony of this thread is that because I have criticised you for locking threads you'll probably lock this one. :nuts: I suggest in future if you are not capable of being an objective forum moderator perhaps it would be best if you let someone else do it. This is a F-O-R-U-M where people log on and post their thoughts, attitudes and opinions regarding Mitsubishi cars. And as long as there are no derogatory comments towards people in here or otherwise then they should be allowed their say irrespective of whether 'people are sick of that topic' or whether it's a comment critical of Mitsubishi.


"Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race."

The mods are pretty fair I think mate. I've wondered about the odd thread closure but usually you find the reason when you look at all the posts a certain person has made. 1 thing in isolation may not seem too bad but when you see that the person is habitually breaking one of the laid down rules or only comes on to bag something or someone.

Free speech is fine but you wouldnt go to a salvation army meeting and ***** about the lack of strippers (well I might but thats just me lol ) or lack of discussion about the topic would ya. The same goes here. We're just a bunch of like minded people who have a set of guidelines that we follow. Its not about lack of free speech at all. :D :D

Yeah cool, sorry probably overreacted there I havent read too many of the locked threads and I guess there was stuff I hadn't read.

wow what a cool thread.

Usually i would ban your ass with something along the lines of 'If you dont like it.. piss off'

But im in a pleasant mood..

So without banning you ill say. If you dont like it ... piss off!

Freedom of speech is an american thing.. Theres no such thing as freedom of speech in Australia, unless you have one of the declarations of america.

P.S You agree to the rules upon joining this forum.. So take some advice. Dont get the mods annoyed cause im sure they will win each and every time.
