Texas forum is far more truthful than the California forum

[Yetti0]

At least the Texas forums allow the good bad and ugly about what people think of the state.. On the California forum they are censoring people who write negative opinions....they only want the positive. I was told to provide stats and proof if I post negative comments.

The only thing I can think of as to why that would be is because your negative remarks are against the criteria of the forum's rules.

I have had a few posts removed from several of the forums for one reason or another, but the reason has always been justified by the rules. I'm sure I'll falter again, but the more I post, the more I learn what is accepted and what isn't.

I have had some people give negative rep points to me but have reported them and had them removed because they don't fit the neg rep criteria which is:

Do not give negative ratings to posts that you simply disagree with or your own reputation will be downgraded. Negative ratings should be reserved for posts that are spammy, off-topic, flames, or don't contribute anything.

I feel the moderators are excellent and are doing a wonderful job with keeping us "on the straight and narrow."

Yetti, I have noticed that as well.
Really sad, and not fair as unfortunately some people will just have to arrive to CA and find the truth out, the forum should be informative regardless of what the truth is, even if it is not positive. That is after all why we all come here right?

Nope... the monitor said I gave an opinion which was negative and I could not back it up by stats .... That is why... There are two sides to a coin.. I posted about the pedafile cases which were on national news in California.. that is why I was kicked off....

I don't read the California forum, so I guess it isn't abiding by the rules.

That is very sad because what we all want is the truth if we're asking questions about a specific part of the country.

That surely isn't fair, YettiO.

If so, pathetic!! I know also if you post any truth about illegal immigration, it is censored!!

People post the good , the bad and the ugly about Texas... It seems some people have a special interest in censoring the california board.... developers? Now I noticed many are posting upsetting posts about California.. I backed up their statements with my experience.. wanna bet I get kicked off again? This forum should be about opinions and facts.... I mentioned that people with tx license plates have had their cars attacked in California.. one of the monitors said she never saw that... is she everywhere 24/7? It has happened to many people from Tx.... I just read many posts where they hate california.. and one responded "IF i were you I would go to another forum" with a wink..... meaning that poor kid will be kicked off.. that is how they operate there.....

I can't remember the thread but I reported about all the pedofile cases on national news... I was told not to post negative things without stats of proof or we will be considered trolling.... Write to me via email because they will be kicking me off again for talking about what they did.... That twinkeltoes... who posted here.. is dissing Tx on the california board really bad.... saying all kinds of bad things but nothing happened to her because she sang the praises of moving back to California...

read Artichokes posts about his experience in LA... Horrific... one poster from there already told him to post on another forum like it was a threat... the poor boy was suckered into coming there and can't get out...

Yup... I see all kinds of negative reporting on the Tx board.. if you do it on the california board... you are kicked off.....they are now threatening artichoke when he talked about his horrific experience. I have the email copied from the monitor.. he stated that I could not prove through a site about the national news advertized pedofile /death cases which we all saw on tv... that is why I was kicked off...
