Freedom of Speech

Freedom of Speech as I remember was being able to have an opinion about a given subject/topic......and in return I would expect some to agree/disagree accordingly as is their right.........so why do I find so many of my posts in Announcements don't even make it onto the forum......does it mean that for every opinion I have from here on in should just be sent to all leaders of every alliance via pm's to save wasting my time and Zorgs time ...............just wondering...

Is that so? I didn't even know that some posts never make it to the forum O_o
Can you please explain why, Zorg or any other admin/mod?

Posts in Announcements or Player Guide need to be approved first. I can't speak for everyone, but the only posts I don't approve are doubles. Also, the notification that there are posts pending isn't as obvious as one would expect, so it's not always quick that we see them.

Yeah Slothie, i know you're cool :)
But there is somebody who's deleting/blocking certain posts, now i'm not mod baiting, don't wanna be warned/banned lol
I just want to know what's so wrong with my mate's posts that they're blocked.....

I appreciate that W but the majority of my posts don't get posted after they get vetted yet I thought all were valid points or asking something about the previous post.........for example I wanted to know why "someone" had posted a c/r in announcements when clearly it was the wrong section and surely the attacker or defender should be posting that first anyway ......sure wasn't aimed at Mod baiting

No posts of you were deleted or modified in the last 15 days (maybe more, this is how long ago I checked).

Perhaps you should start paying attention to the forum messages. When you post in Announcements or Players Guide, it will return something along these lines:
"Thank you for your post. Your post will now need to be reviewed by a moderator and will get approved before it will be published"

Your example, has been indeed approved and published till I discovered it today, after reading this topic. And it has been removed for being off topic.

Make sure your posts are always on topic, especially in announcements and Players guides which need to be kept clean.

Thanks for clarifiying what I already knew Zorg but some posts that had to be reviewed weren't posted although some were.....maybe by another Mod.......not a problem as point made anyway :)
