Feelings about MODS and thread deletion

I 100% agree with the message thread regarding mod explanation below. The mods on this site are on such a power trip that they delete informative threads I have written. Do we have any recourse here, or should we find a different site that we are allowed to be candid on? All I did was explain to some people that secrets of several fraternities were hijacked and put on the wiki leaks website. Guess what, some mod who sits at home with nothing better to do, just keeps deleting them without any message or anything. I have not violated any terms of use, or the law etc. Whoever runs this site needs to keep mods accountable and their needs to be a process in which mods give an explanation OR where to delete it requires 3 mods to vote for it.

Why should we be censored for informative and intelligent conversations, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the site? I am very bothered with this, and I hope others have some Insight on this.

Is it wrong to be concerned to alert fraternity members that their ritual manuals have been compromised???

Please provide feedback!

Thanks for responding I really appreciate it. What happened was a friend told me about these manuals being online. Since I am a intellectual property lawyer, I wanted to inform the community and offer free legal assistance to members of the affected organizations in terms of a demand letter and a filing with the copyright infringement bureau. I guess the links is where I went wrong? Just wanted to follow up with proof of what I was saying but I guess everyone already knows. I was frustrated that I kept getting deleted. Thanks

And I am guessing your fraternity was affected and now your bitter. Gain some manners and professionalism and maybe well talk. And ps using dumb twice like that makes you look like a 6th grade.

Please see the bold.

So, you would send the US Copyright Office a demand letter in text-speak on behalf of a(n) (inter)national organization?

I'm sure that would go over well.

There is nothing anyone can do about wikileaks, and GC chooses not to advertise it.

I just wanted to say thank for being candid with an intelligent response which some of the other posting members obviously don't possess.

If you have a problem with moderators, why not take it up with them?

And why the hell would you post about a site that leads others to seek out rituals? You could also have just sent a PM to a member of the groups involved.

Not a way to make friends here, dear.

You're really going there?? Do the math, it's about 1.25 posts per day. Hardly spending one's entire life here.

Nobody needs your help. I'm sure that organizations over 100 years old have their own legal team. But points for trying to backpedal.

Mods have always taken great liberties with this site, but they can. So if you don't like it, go somewhere else.

You asked if there was any recourse, so yes, it really made me feel so much better about myself to explain that you don't have any first amendment rights to post on Greek Chat. Great lawyering.

I just realized he called an Alpha Gam a guy in the title to the above post.

Greek knowledge fail.

Why is he assuming we're all male?

I sure hope he's a better lawyer than that.

On another note...OP, you might not want to act like a douche after revealing your identity. I don't care who you are or what you are, you just don't do that here.
