Free Speech and Forums

So what's your thoughts on Free Speech on forums? I respect and allow free speech but some people like to take advantage of it and cross boundaries. How do you deal with it?

 

I allow users to talk about whatever they'd like, as long as it doesn't break the rules, and that's not allowing personal attacks. You can't reply to everything a member says though, it happens on forums all the time.

 

Yea I agree, but sometimes members like to cross lines, and use it as an excuse for breaking rules.

 

I don't mind free speech, as long as it does not violate the forums rules and does not cause a flame war between members with different opinions, etc.

 

I don't mind free speech. It won't make me mad unless it starts a problem, breaks the rules, or goes too far.

 

Yea I agree, if a forum doesn't allow free speech then I am not going to be apart of it. I have seen many forums that will delete your posts or anything if you disagree with anything while still following the rules.

 

Tell me about it, I have alot of problem with this on my forum where they like to abuse their rights and use this to their defense. I may just start giving out bans.

 

Hey allow free speech only to an extent, they have to remember than the owner/admin still has the say as he/she owns/runs the forum.

 

You should as it will just continue to be a problem

Yes indeed some do forget that.
