View Full Version : Odd Censorship
Nautilus 11-27-2004, 12:38 PM Rick,
Why does ****-sideboxing.com gets censored by your program as:
********boxing.com
I suppose this has some entertaining value, but I don't quite see the point. :)
:) :)
Rick Reeno 11-27-2004, 12:42 PM Because they not only censor our site from being mentioned within their forums, they have banned members for even speaking about our website. Their envy is going to be their downfall.

Its a boxing site thing. The sites dont like eachother. You cant go over to ********** and type "*********" either.

That's funny. :D
But ********boxing is not even in the same league as B/Sc, so why bother responding to their infantile tricks?
Soundtraveler 11-27-2004, 12:52 PM I used to post there before getting banned for mentioning another boxing website to their forum members! What jerks they were, and it's a shame too, because a few years ago they had some great posters, but then all of the sudden longtime members were being banned - and all for talking about a new site that was being run by one of their forum members! To think I was planning an "******** in the U.S." meeting in New Orleans and was going to put all attending Front Row Ringside for one of the fight cards I was working for Les Bonano it was going to be an ESPN show and I could have given Eastide big props on T.V. but oh well. :rolleyes:
I have to say, I enjoy THIS site more anyway! :D
Nautilus 11-27-2004, 12:54 PM Wow. So much fun info. Glad i asked. :D
Soundtraveler 11-27-2004, 01:06 PM I later got a pathetic email from the site owner or one of the Mods for the site, I don't remember which, anyway it went on to say we're sorry, and would you be interested in writing for our site?! WHAT TOTAL B.S.!! They were going to "be willing" to let me post again, and I said to myself, "I am not going to do your site the honor of even clicking on it ever again".
And I haven't since - SCREW EM'....
Explosivo 11-27-2004, 02:06 PM This just goes to show why boxingscene is the best site on the net!

Wow, how about a boxingscene in the U.S. meeting in New Orleans? :D
Soundtraveler 11-27-2004, 02:28 PM As a matter of fact E.S.B. was reading all PM's and people got banned as I did for even telling anyone about another site by PM!! Not even in a forum, just a PM - how "Personal" is that?

That's an outrage. I hope our pm's aren't read on this site.

I don't have that much time on my hands, although unlike the PHPBB script that they use, this script does not allow that sort of privacy breach.

I'm glad to here that. I never suspected such a thing and would be surprised if that was the case. This site rules. That other place is old news.

....That's funny ****!!! What a bunch of insecure ****.

I remember all the censorship and stupidity over there, and yeah, Rick's right, it all started over jealousy, and worse, it was a case of them losing all their best members. *shrugs*
btw, if you have a boxingscene meeting down here in New Orleans, you'll have me to contend with. *winks and strolls out*
Nautilus 11-27-2004, 05:01 PM Nice Signature.
NemesisChylde 11-27-2004, 05:03 PM Thanks Nautilus. :)
Nautilus 11-27-2004, 05:06 PM Thanks Nautilus. :)
You have been around since April 2004 and you have posted only 4 posts ? :)
jack_the_rippuh 11-27-2004, 05:15 PM Let's have a thread game-show for money and prizes....maybe even a super-member voucher.

Hm. I remember that. Anybody who mentioned the other site in PM was autobanned. And then all the apologies started rolling in two weeks later. *shakes head* tsk tsk
heard many rumours bout esb and have never been there on point of principal.
However I do think we should encourage more interaction / affiliation between sites though, its in the best interests of the game.
I fully support that cross pollination if you like, doesnt mean you post on every site, but i have numerous i use for news and others i prefer for resulkts others i prefer articles, cant see anything wrong with that at all.
in fact the insular nature of ESB by all accounts is driving people away in droves, it has such a bad rep now that being an ESB poster as it were, is so derided its almost viewed as shameful.
what comes round goes around huh!
