    What the heck is with the MODS? They are so despotical and oppressive when it comes to expressing one's self! We have First Amendment rights in America and I think as the greatest nation to ever grace the face of the Earth we should honor the ideas that the country was founded on! As a forum to express our thoughts and ideals we should never have to live in fear of banishment from some cyber overlord.

    In conclusion, I'd like to call for the abolishment of all MODs.


    Thank you.

    Hello, guy I just banned a few hours ago!

    First of all, I'm glad you took this up the correct way, with an unban request, and not doing something wrong -- like bothering the whole forum with a private matter, or even worse, coming back and reregistering as a new name when banned.

    Oh wait.

    Anyway, not only is your little attempt to hide behind the First Amendment completely faulty, given that this is (1) a private institution and (2) the Internet, as pointed out below, but you broke board rules in a major way and are continuing to do so. So I'm gonna ban this little sock and lock this thread.

    Were you the guy that just got banned for being evil to everyone? That's why you've got a problem with the MODs.

    Ok, if you're going to make a post like this, you need to support it with evidence. From what I've seen, the FanFilm mods are all very nice, and never abuse their powers. I can't vouch for other forums, but the FanFilms mods are all doing their job quite well, in my opinion. Please, point me to an instance of a mod abusing their power, if you can find one. Mods have a very important place in the forum-y world. Without them, there would be spamarchy and flame wars up the wazoo. Probably not in the fan films forum, as most of the people around here are reasonably friendly and serious... Most of them.

    Also, no offense, but seeing the "Mar 05" under your name will automatically make most people take what you say with a grain of salt. Really new people tend not to know their way around much (me included).

    1) This is a private, international board. The United States Constitution does not apply here.
    2) Even if it did, you signed the terms of service waiving such rights and agreeing to play by the mods' rules.
    3) Posting here is a privilege, not a right.
    4) This is not a forum to share your thoughts and ideals. This is a forum to discuss Star Wars and related media.
    5) If you don't like it, post somewhere else.

    What is with these 05'ers?

    They all are getting very disrespectful. Though I wonder what happened to my friend who signed up the other day. Haven't seen him.

    Oops, sorry, off topic.

    I think this is quite unfair, just getting all the 05'ers and saying they're all idiots. You're always gonna be getting new members joining, so why not encourage them instead of insulting them. This will just make them lose their confidence, and not post any more.

    I don't agree with what CountVader28 said, but don't insult all of us just because of one person.

    P.S. Very well said, Adam.

    So if you are Muslim, you're screwed?

    I'd say America is the land of the free, with the right to freedom of religion.

    But yeah, Jesus is cool too. Nothing against him.

    Sorry, just had to say it.

    -Semi

    EDIT: Oh, sorry. Not all 05'ers. Just some.

    You seem to be an intelligent poster, who knows his boundries.

    But, most of this years batch, as I've seen, is a bunch of... well... incompetent fools.

    I don't have anything against 05'ers, just the ones that scar the term.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding.
