Gavra_at_work It’s not about being vanilla it’s more about common sense and the mere fact of the name of this site. The implication of the name Yeshiva World News should be self explanatory but you will always get posters who thrive on pushing the boundaries.
There is also the element of those who try to push their luck with the moderators and try to get the better of them. Why? I could hazard a few guesses but why bother? The moderators have time and time again with all the patience in the world edited, censored and deleted posts and well as refusing their submission onto the site and as you have seen, this alone causes grief!
Shame really, as there is plenty of room for debate, opinions, humour, laughter and all the rest without Loshon Horoh, being offensive, being too personal and pushing the boundaries of decency and misquoting halacha.
The reason going back to the Bais Faiga issue could well be because what you thought was an acceptable discussion the moderators could foresee ballooning into something quite else. You as a poster do not have their foresight. That’s why they are moderators and we’re just posters.
Eventually the moderators will stop certain people from posting which would be a shame. There is no reason not to behave on cyber as one would in ‘real life. Yikes, now I’ve really gone and done it, wait for the replies I’m going to get on this post!
Signed with respect, still a Nobody and not a Somebody!
