I am impressed with that post by Kerry and agree with it. It's exactly accurate and something I couldn't find the words to express.

Others and myself I think we have being delt unfair infractions and bans just because of speaking what we thought at the time rather than drugs/porn.

This is why I disagreed with using guidelines as an excuse and crutch rather than everyone taking proper responsibility to discern individually rather than follow set rules and using rules to police.

What is annoying is the sheep of the forum will just say yes to anything and support anything without thinking and this is just another obstruction when they start calling you negative and such just cause you are disagreeing with something.

I still think subscription is not the right course of action to solve the money situation for this I think donations fund raising and charging for project camelot work is the answer. To sell DVDs, books and others things. This forum should not have to fund other work if anything we pay for what the forum costs as I don't think posting privileges are worth more than what the forum would cost to run.

I have had strong disagreements and issues with this because I do try and think for myself. It's not my fault if my opinion ignorant or not becomes an insult to other people and I shouldn't be censored for it. How could I support it knowing I wouldn't have a say....And it's only because we are so use to being tricked deceived and abused that we are now extra careful when things begin to get treated unfairly. Leaving room for people to have an opinion and make mistakes is a must and just letting them be here if they want to be here. Even if they think different with a totally different perspective of what it is about.

The moderation on the forum has being way too heavy so this announcement is much needed clarity. People are reasonable when you understand them and they get very uncomfortable when they feel like they are being censored on a forum and it brings out lack of trust and confidence very easily. That starts to divide people up rather than sticking to what is important.
