I’m not wanting to argue or say you dont have a valid idea, but i think by agreeing to become a member of this forum you “give up” your right to freedom of speech on some issues if not all…
ChiefDelphi also reserves the right to prohibit or delete discussions that are thought to violate applicable law or that may be harmful to other members. Please remember, you are representing not only yourself, but your team as well as what FIRST stands for. Please try to practice gracious professionalism at all times.
This one is probably the most important one…
The owners of ChiefDelphi Forums have the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
That’s where i get my idea from…maybe i’m wrong, and maybe this isnt my place to say (if so i’ll remove this)…
*Originally posted by MattK * Free Speech is protected by the United States of America, how can ANY forum or anything on the net demine the authority of the USA!
You are an idiot.
You have no rights on this forum.
This forum is a privately owned and operated piece of the internet (not like any governmental body can administrate the internet anyway).
All YOU can do is leave, if you don’t like what the mods do.
I have officially lost any shred of respect for you, and your intelligence, as of this very second.
<edit>“Free Speech is protected by the United States of America, how can ANY forum or anything on the net demine the authority of the USA!”
By saying this you have proved that you obviously don’t understand the difference between public settings and privately owned sites on the internet. It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again. CD (like any other website) has the right to censor/moderate any and all comments on its site. You’ve just got to deal with it.</edit>
I don’t blame cd for closing the form because if they let “small” stuff go, it soon would be out of control. CD has to control what is posted on their forms because if what was posted was serious enough, they could be sued, and i know they don’t want that
Before you through you @#$!$@#$!$@#$!$ at us becuase you first admements right were violated, let me state something to your face…
The first admement only applies to free places (public parks) and to places of discussion. BUT the owner of the place of discussion can limmit your speech to what he believes is resaonable to the type of place he is running. So Brandon can write
I hate George Bush.
And the US goverment can’t do a thing.
But if someone rights
I hate George Bush.
And Brandon disagrees and he thinks this is inappropreate and will lead to bad consequences, he can end it.
Also, in the rules of siging up, it said you can’t talk about any illegal activity, such as cracking (different from hacking) into anything, including Segways.
As for the US supporting HACKING, it said it was leagal ONLY IF they report their findings to the company hacked and then the US Attorney.
just what we need, another one of THOSE people. then people ask me why i don’t keep up with CD anymore, isn’t it obvious? now i just need to yell something about “its not fair that teams have money and my team doesn’t” or something crazy like that, and it would be a normal CD day… sigh
i think brandon is being too nice. i wouldn’t let any of this go on my forum
