#11114, "Censorship"


          

I was encouraged in Game by one of the imms to post about the new food changes. When I tried to do so I learned that my post has to be reviewed and aproved before it can be read by others.

I might be wrong (I do not post much) but it seems to me that this policy is new.

I was wondering what the reason for this change is? Is there a new chinese imm in charge of the forums who uses methods he is accustomed to from home? Are there more strupid posts then there used to from which other players need to be protected? Is this part of the war on terror? Hell, I am guessing here..

What is it that made this necessary?

Thanks.

1) Announcements are queued because we want that board to be a dense summary of important events. We don't want full-blown discussions going on there, because we want it to be a place where someone can breeze by and grab the main idea of what's been going on.

2) Bugs are queued because we don't want unresolved bugs publicized and exploited.

3) Contests are queued because we don't want people being influenced by the ideas of other entrants.

4) My forum is queued because I'm a leading member of the Chinese Communist Party.

5) Everywhere else, your post shows up immediately, like the one you put in this thread did.

I lower my head in shame and admit that 1)-3) are actually good reasons and I could have thought about those myself.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

From I've read on dio's I'd had you pegged as a die-hard founding member of the new National Socialist movement, but i'f your just a Chi-com, then you're alot nicer than reading Dio's led me to believe.

To certain boards. They're marked so you know which ones they are.

Announcements, contest board, bug board, Valgs forum, etc. All warn that posts need approving before posting.

Yhorian.
