BoddaH1994 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 What happened to the "Terpy should be a moderator" thread in the polls? Was that deleted? Yes. If someone makes a topic about another user, it's usually best to get their permission first... Quote
Beast1979 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Not to mention that the mere thought of the grand ole' Terpy being a moderator just blows my mind away, there are reasons that he is what he is! Quote
coaster_junky Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 ^and for all some of us know, he could be a special under cover mod and wants to keep it that way, sorta like superman. Quote
Dane Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I didn't know people expected a certified letter in the mail every time we closed or deleted a thread. Your post was actually removed because it was a repost. Quote
cholderfield Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Topics are removed when information in them is misleading, inaccurate or possibly damaging to Kings Island, Cedar Fair, KIC or any other party. (emphasis added) That's the part that bothers me, although I'm glad to see there is a "Son of Beast Discussion Thread". The fact is, the line between an opinion of someone on the board and information that could be considered "misleading, inaccurate, or possibly damaging" is a fine line, if not a gray one. Should I only post my opinion if it glorifies Cedar Fair, Kings Island, or KIC? Where Else? Quote

But it doesn't really matter, because the media will twist some things to get a good story. Like turn an opinion into "fact." Quote
CedarPointer Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 What kind of serious journalist would base a story on something somebody posted on an internet discussion board that was immediately rejected by the other posters? Wow... (please, no DDN jokes) Quote

It's such a same for the media though. They have such a responsibility... Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 What kind of serious journalist would base a story on something somebody posted on an internet discussion board that was immediately rejected by the other posters? Wow... (please, no DDN jokes) Perhaps most of them, these days. Time is short. Staffs are overworked. And unless something is CLEARLY marked as opinion, it is apt to get cited as fact. Both yours truly and RailRider were quoted by the media directly from this site...during the days of excitement as Diamondback was built.... Quote
Dan Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 I didn't know people expected a certified letter in the mail every time we closed or deleted a thread. Your post was actually removed because it was a repost. Can we get that letter signed by a public notary also? I didn't know the pictures had already been posted on another thread, I made my thread as a joke thread to add some comic relief to the SOB tension that was building up on here. It's nice to be informed that the pictures were a repost. Quote
