I posted a thread which had a starting message as follows:



But it was deleted without any proper given reason.It wasn't offensive in any way and did not gave out any illegal links whatsoever.Admins please look into this because your staffs might be misusing their authorities to hide things for their own selfish purposes.If there was any illegal links posted it wasn't posted by me and the mods should have taken of just his post but NO! the whole thread just went POOF! disappeared in thin air.

Any valid reasons for this?

From the Rules and Regulation :-

Clearly has been stated

So what do you want to complaint about? That thread alone, most of the poster posted nearly same reply, PM me the link, PM me the torrent, etc. This has clearly violated the rules ain't?

PM what?
Well?

What torrent?Who's talking about torrent?You mean to tell me that Lowyat net has the right to comment on people's PMs?Again what is this?Some dictator forum?

You slapped me with this.Don't you even get sleek with me man.
Point to me which part of my thread that went pornography and involved pirated software?

Copyrighted materials?Those 3 pictures were the only pictures posted in the thread and in terms of indecency, I have seen much worst ones in the Celebrities sub forum in the movies section.Why did people get away with those?They posted pictures of celebrities, man?Had they requested for consent from the celebrities to post?I took the trouble to upload those pictures to imageshack even..

Dear Se7en, BadawiRocks or Nexus, if you can please take a look at the whole thread and comment on this.As a forumer I know what my rights are and this is just plain ridiculous.A wrong post by other forumers doesn't have to result in a complete deletion of the whole thread.It was already growing over 4 pages until the whoe thing went "POOF!" Reasons given was unacceptable and this came from a regular forumer trying to tell me that I did not observe the forum rules properly?


stevanistelrooy, are you an underdog of somesort or a staff undercover?You just got busted!

you forgot to add your last posting on that thread before it got deleted.

Your thread is the same as a thread saying "free porn, i'm not gonna post the link here, but you can PM me for it." therefore it is not allowed. You are responsible for a thread you open. Judging from your responses in the thread, you were actively giving out links to the said torrent, and the thread was becoming more and more of a "PM me for porn links" thread.

Just FYI, we received numerous complaints with regard to your thread. We can always reopen your thread for you if you sign a disclaimer that you will be responsible should there be any legal action taken against the site for the distribution of pornography.

Se7en, boss and how did you know that I posted any links to them in my PMs?I said they flooded my account with PMs but whether any links were passed out by me that's fairly subjective.There were some of them who requested for PMs to be sent to them with links.Links to where?Did anyone said yes and admitted to it?Some had offered to host stuff but that's with them.You can always delete individual conversations instead of the whole thread all at once.

I understand that you're concerned about our country's freedom of speech policy.But you need not worry about this because this ain't about the big guys.This is about some college student which I think would make a good conversation at the Kopitiam section.This was my primary objective in creating that thread.
Anyway if you still think that this thread concerns you about the security of this forum, I have no say but to agree with you.In fact I think I would let it to rest since it created quite some unrest between some forumers.

Thank you for your reply.At least you've helped cleared some misunderstandings there.

We do not make harsh decisions out of the blue. If you noticed, we did let the thread run for 2 whole hours before deciding on what action to take. During this time, there was almost no indication (up to 4 pages at time of deletion) that there was going to be any sort of proper discussion on that thread. Almost half of the replies were "PM me the link please", hence, it was in the best interest of everybody that it be deleted.

Our policy is quite limited to the well being of our site members. Our members include some very young but internet savvy school going kids. It would be a black spot on the entire community should they be caught with stuff like this and point the finger at this site as the source.

Ok very well then bury the whole thing if you may.Thank you once again for your take on this and I think I'm with you about the innocent young forumers going out of line.But before I end this conversation I would say that we still have a long way to go if liberalism is concerned in Malaysian forums.

Cheers

Signing off for today and good luck to everyone.

Mate, no point arguing ok, whatever the admin deems unfit, he/she has the rights to remove it. there's nothing to be fuzzed about. If you want to let others know, maybe you can start your own blog? No offence, but arguing with the admin isn't getting you anywhere

liberalism my ass.

you just want an excuse to be able to spread porn openly in a public forum filled with kids, no less.

wtf.

rules are rules. dont like them, feel free to go elsewhere.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not undercover nor whatever you mention above. Being a narrow minded and concern citizen of LYN, I am proud of this community. As se7en clearly stated, my concern was with the quote below. Furthermore your action can cause LYN to be *knock* by the authorities. I do not wish LYN ended up with this phrases "sebab nila setitik,rosak susu sebelanga". And last but not least, get on with your life, no need to advertise for the concern student. I believe they have feel or suffer the after effect. Life goes on, like Tammy cases. Leave them, and give them a new life.
