Anyone been banned or posts erased...constantly?

[Guest]

I just wonder, whose posts get erased and who gets banned here and for what reason?

[EMIZ]

Several peoples post are deleted, usually the same suspects including myself from time to time, and usually for crossing the line of decency.

[GS]

Yep !! I have had mine erased for those reasons that Emiz stated !!

[EMIZ]

Why would you be angry if you admit your post went too far?

cause I dont like censorship

[EMIZ]

This is the real world and nobody can just say anything they want, and in most cases you should show respect for your fellow users by not making comments that need to be censored,

I actually know of a football site, were a user is currently being sued for abusive remarks he made towards another user; so you shouldn’t just thing this is a free hit with no return hits.

Of course now if this applies to u2..say what you like to her

Okay it's late..laku noc!

[EMIZ]

too much vino..I think you got it

[GS]

Hey Anna what ever happened to my poll about whether Emiz was in Zagreb or not.


Wow I must have really been "crossing the line" there ...OMG how bad of me ... what was I thinking ....

[Ribaric]

Is EMIZ and Anna the same person?

There's a thought. Maybe one of them is me! Or both...

[Guest]

Judging by incredible amount of, at least, suspicious events...some people can't even post here yet EMIZ can write anything he wants, attack whoever, write crap and his posts are still here, all you have to do is go few pages back on EVERY topic.

Anna is Brittish so she sticks by her pale mate.

And no, censorship is not right, maybe it was ok in middle ages in England but not in 2005. That is a sole purpose of a Forum, no wonder most people left here for another forums that don't censor.

EMIZ is at least very questionable person, there are dozens of examples where he lied or conflicted himself, when someone questions that, he/she gets erased/banned. It's the English way.

pukla te paranoja?

It gets better all the dregs of society are here, how wonderful.

I take issue with the statement that I “attack” anybody, this is simply not true; I often retaliate on the level I was “attacked” on in the first place that is very different.

The fact that you show so little respect to somebody who offers this website for free suggest you actually have issues with authority, it is fair to have your childish digs at me, but it is never fair to direct them at somebody who not only rarely posts; is clearly trying to be as objective as possible.
Now, you under your many guises have followed me around the site like a bad smell and have been through all my threads like a cheap suit and not once been able to catch me out, yet you continue, I have to give you credit for being persistent.

There was a libellous comment made today by somebody who had his e-mail address and employer on his profile, I think for his sake it was a good thing it was removed.

There must always be some form of censorship in life, otherwise crazy people could say whatever they want, some people are certain that walking down a street and killing every black person in sight is okay, they are of course wrong, but they cannot be reasoned with are you suggesting they should be allowed to promote their views?

This is a website regarding Croatia and all it’s issues, life here good or bad, the war, good or bad, tourism good or bad, many people do not want to read all the arguing; I personally wish it would stop, but I will continue to ridicule nationalist idiots who cannot get their head out of the skies.

The biggest single problem with this site is all the name changing, despite this being “cyber world” the people with a childish and nonsensical agenda do not even have the courage to make their comments under their true cyber I.D, says it all really.

Have a nice day

Now, I rarely get involved in discussions in this part of the forum (I like to stick to providing information over on the other boards but I guess it is time that I added a few comments.

I really and truly try my best to monitor and administer this forums. Now, perhaps everybody should be perfectly "nice" to each other and have loving discussions about (Croatian!) kittens and puppies and how cute they are. But that's hardly realistic, is it?

I am, however, really rather sick of so many posts desending into name-calling and petty arguments about who lives where, what their IP address is, who knows more, who's lying... And then to start having to resort to rather sickening insults (such as saying as someone is worse that a paedophile - I mean, please...) is absolutely ridiculous.

Guest, I don't have any record of you posting here before, so how come in your first post here you ask who gets erased and who gets banned? And tell me, when you write offensive messages to me like the ones earlier today, why I shouldn't I add you to the list?

One thing that does really annoy me is this whole argument about censorship. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, it exists EVERYWHERE, in society, in the press etc etc, in Croatia, UK, the U.S... Your sentence was a little twisted, but I think you were trying to say that lack of censorship was the sole purpose of a forum. I strongly disagree. In this case, the sole purpose of this forum is to discuss Croatia (travelling to, property, living in and so on). Please, by all means, go to a forum that doesn't censor. And there you will most probably find idiotic, ic, spiteful, hate-filled messages with no reasonable means for discussion.

If you have a problem with the "censorship" on this forum, please tell me why you frequent it?

I don't "stick by" EMIZ, and I hardly think my nationality comes into it, does it? EMIZ, I don't think it would surprise you if I said that SOME of your posts do annoy me and, as you've seen, I remove them. I do sometimes question the way you retaliate (and the same goes for others), I don't agree with it, but that's your choice. But EMIZ also posts a considerable amount of useful information and also, most of the time, discusses things in a reasonable way.

You see, if someone questions EMIZ or what he says politely - hey, I have no problem with that. (Perhaps he might though.) If their method for debating with him consists of:

You [swear word]!!!
You're lying!!
[Stupid insult]
[Another stupid insult]
[Something that doesn't make sense]
You should leave Croatia!!
You're not in Croatia anyway!!

Then, hmmmm, that's not exactly reasoned debate, is it?
But you're right - banning/erasing people is MORE than the English way - it, in fact, became law today when the House of Lords finally passed the Erasing and Banning People That Do Not Agree With EMIZ Bill.

If you read through various threads, some people are on kind of the right tack - they deflect things with a bit of humour, or don't take things so seriously. People have different opinions, so what?

GS, I am sorry that I removed the thread/poll you started, it wasn't because I thought that it had crossed the line. Unfortunately, that was yet another thread that had turned into a two-person argument, so I decided to delete the whole thread instead of individual messages. Sorry.

Yes, Ribaric, I am indeed the same person as you (I can't believe you don't remember your other personality! ) but I am not EMIZ...

Phew, what a long post. A cup of tea and some cup cakes are in order.

[Nicola]

Hear hear Anna - some of those rambling posts are soooo boring....

[EMIZ]

I would like to thank the old gits at the house of lords for passing the bill that nobody can ever disagree with me, ever got that?

I can fully accept that people don’t agree with my views and that my views can be sometimes offensive, whilst that is not my intention (most of the time) if people talk to me in a reasonable and non prejudice way I will certainly afford them the same respect.
