I'm not complaining, I'm extremly happy to be a part of this board, but the change is alittle worrying. If people have to tiptoe around than they will be hesitant to speak thier minds in fear of a ban. This is the best doors board I've found and it would be a shame to be baned because someone's feelings were hurt. just a thought.

good point :peace:

Just don´t use a foul language. It´s very easy.

[Memorable fancy]

It's not that simple, hamlet.

[clarknova]

no one has nothing to fear....we can all make our points of view without being rude...i think thats the point...it wouldnt be reasonable if freedom of speech/thought didnt rule in the doors forum right?!

:peace:

"its not that simple"

explain that please....

[All we did was die...]

Edited in fear of ban.

[Memorable fancy]

You're right. But what if the substance of one's post is thought obscene when in fact it is only the subject or the subtext?

[clarknova]

i think admins are righteous enought to see the difference between a thought and a direct ofense...nothing to worry about..

[letsstealtheeye]

There's no cause for worry about being banned.  It's all about respect.  We are a community with a lot in common being fans of a great band The Doors!  Just remember to be respectful to each other, even when we don't always agree on everything - and everything will work out fine.   :cheers:

Example:  

I have to disgree with you on that point, LizardBillyBob47.   Here's why........  <----- respectful
LizardBillyBob47, what a dumb idea, you are a dummy.    Here's what I think about it........  <----- disrespectful

[King Morrison]

so...no vulgar words?

I agree with you.  We can all have our opinions and points of view without getting angry, hateful, or bashing someone else because of their opinion or point of view.

I sincerely hope that English is not considered a foul language.

Depends on your definition of vulgar.  But as a rule of thumb, I'd say don't use vulgar words.  Just re-read The Doors statement, then read it again.  They want to get away from the negative vibe that permeated this place.

Look... this isnt as complicated as you all make it.

Here, watch this -


Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck


See?

You can curse.

Now, watch this:

You know I really dont agree with how Ray and Robby handled the entire 21C thing. I really can't understand why they just didnt start fresh at the start, with a new band name, some new material, new versions and interpretations of old songs, or even covering the old songs note for note while playing some originals also. They didnt need the name "The Doors" to be good musicians or to carry on their continuing legacy...


See that??

You can critique.

Now watch this one:

I don't really dig The Soft Parade. To me it's the only Doors album I could do without.


Speaking your mind, its a good thing!

Now, since we're all moderately intelligent people, I'm pretty sure everybody can figure out the difference between what I just wrote, and this:

"This is fucking bullshit. John is a hypocritical greedy asshole who had no problem taking the millions he felt entitled to from D21C."

or:

"That album sucked! What were they thinking using STRINGS. It's lame. No wonder Morrison wanted seperate songwriting credits."


Most of us can see the differences in those. But some people are just socially impaired and can't understand it, or else just aren't capable of interacting with other people without being offensive. Some people, quite simply, have no social skills, or else are here in a troll capacity getting off on intentionally upsetting people. Trolls you can just ignore and ban outright, but with the socially impaired crowd... well, you can be patient with these kinds of people, you can point out that their social interaction is lousy and suggest different ways of expressing themselves, but in the end some people will just never GET IT. At that point what recourse do the moderators have? These boards should be a place where the reader comes away with something positive about The Doors. Even if people disagree, it shouldnt be a typical internet forum pissing match where people are arguing on the internet just to bolster their own fragile egos and trying to boost their own empty lives.

I'm pretty sure that the Doors and their management simply want a place where people can deal with each other as adults and as friends, to agree and disagree, to share their love of the Doors music, without the negative elements of animosity, anger, pettiness, and spite being anywhere in the picture.


Just treat each other with respect. I think it's that simple.

Perfectly said, Rey. :peace:

I think its sad when you have to limit free speech, thought and expression on an internet message board such as this one.  A Doors board especially.  If you want niceness, heaven, and everything glistening then I suggest you take it to a religious forum, otherwise its gonna be extremely hard to articulate ones real thoughts by putting the squeeze on free speech.  If you don't like the language and opinions used on this board then stay away from it--its that simple! Jim Morrison is probably rolling in his grave right now.

It is NOT about denying people their civil rights(freedom of speech as you put it),
it is however about maturity and respect for other people and their opinions....

Get it?

You don`t like nice people huh....? :wtf:
