Please Read.......

=============================================================== I have no problem with you people (just about all of you are friendly), but with the forum administrator(s). I have posted a topic and responded to some other peoples post and they all got deleted. Why? Probably because they weren't 100% Cedar Point Friendly I guess, (Does CP pay these people or something?) and no, they weren’t just stupid babble, and no they didn’t even rip on CP. My posts just simply pointed out a problem. I love Cedar Point, but not everything about it is perfect, so why shouldn't people be able to talk about it? Is that not how problems get solved? Hasn’t anyone noticed how nothing negative about Cedar Point has been posted? I’m not saying we should all start ripping on CP but if you had a complaint wouldn’t you like to share it with others? Sorry but censorship is something I hate with a passion it makes me think of Nazi Germany. I can see deleting posts that are offensive but I had legit statements and questions. I would have been happy to read my posts to my grandmother. lol. But anyway this is just retarded; also this will probably be my last 10-minute post. I suggest to the people reading this to insist the administrators to change their Evil Nazi Ways. Anyway I have found better CP forums and I will start posting there. Thank you for reading this and have a nice day.

Quite frankly, this site and Coasterbuzz are the two best sites I've found, due mostly to the webmaster and his moderating of the sites. In the time I've been on this site, I've noticed that there is very little bashing of other members' views. Yes, this is a site full of CP lovers, but even we have had posted views of CP and their rides that have not been favorable, and our posts have not been deleted. It's possible that although you don't feel your posts were abusive/abrasive, but the webmaster did.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead

Here we go again with the Nazi's.

Slixo..As one of the Mods, I felt a responsibility to respond..1st off if you had bothered to do a little searching of the topics you would have seen theres several topics on this forum that aren't all rosy regarding CP and such, but instead you choose to rip us without ANY research. With that said it kind of makes your whole post above hypocritical and factless to a point doesn't it?

2nd of all I don't know why your posts were deleted as I was not the Mod who did it, but I have faith that it was for a very legitimate reason being I have a good relationship with the mgmt of this site. We don't delete posts or have the "Nazi" mentality you so rudely put it! I am sorry your unhappy and will be moving on, but hey thats your perogative. CP supports not 1 cent of this site and is put out there for the pure enjoyment or discussion of CP fans and such. Maybe your other topics and posts were just repeat Noise? I don't know?, but you can be assured it was NOT just deleted to save CP face or uphold a certain Peachy environment we have here regarding CP, because thats NOT why we moderate and delete topic matter!

Third if you notice on the main page of the forums we have members is the high thousands who come here everyday to read CP shop! If you think you have found a better place to discuss CP, then I wish you well and good luck finding a better group of peeps..I think most on this site think we do a decent job at presenting views that are well rounded and deal with both sides of an issue without imposing a certain point of view as whats "right". In closing, its a real shame you need to take to a level of bringing up Nazi Germany, but the way I look at is its people and posts like yours who even bring up that terrible topic who have the real passion for making that mentality survive!

I bid a farewell to you....

A mods $.02!

Get over yourself... we're the park's biggest critics. And morons like you who compare the slaughter of millions of Jews to the activity of a message board really need to get a little perspective.

If your stuff got nuked it's because you spell like a third grader or posted the same tired nonsense we've specified as stuff we're not interested in reading. Take it personally if you want, but the world most certainly does not revolve around you.

While you're at it, read Natalie's rant on people who don't get it. A classic for sure.

You hafta think, this is a forum of cp lovers! why would anything negative come up? DUH, stop sharing the same brain with your friends.

I havnt always agreed with the mods decisions, but Nazi's? That was just stupid and shows how ignorant you are. Im glad to be rid of you.

"This place sucks, man!" - Daniel LaRusso

I've seen some of the other Cedar Point boards out there. The noise and conversation topics on most are amazing - and that's with only a fraction of the number of posts compared with the large number you see here at GTTP. The percentage of garbage posts versus good posts at these places is very high.

Maybe we should start a pool for when the next "you suck, I'm outta here" post will occur.

And why do I always catch myself thinking age is a factor?

I have to agree with Mr. Spartan. Some of the best discussions have come from people who have different views and opinions. How boring would life be, if everyone shared the same views on everything. This is a fun place to discuss the park, and share your opinions...

Jeffrey I didnt mean to sound like you dont allow opposing views, because you do. Some of the best debates Ive ever seen were from GTTP:). This guy sounds like we are posting in a war camp, lol. And CP managers do read this? I thought that was another rumor....But anyways...Can we all say FUNDY!? Goooooooooooood

Althoough Jef, yoo doo harasss uss aboot typoos...

I think a mod needs to check his typos. I knew this was going to get good!!

Good Bye!

I see it this way: If ya don't like the way the forum is run, and have problems with it, just don't come here at all then. :)

ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY HERE AT CEDAR POINT...AMERICA'S ROCKIN ROLLER COAST. *CLEAR*

I'm startin to think the mods should up the age limit a little to get in here so we can keep the uninformed, immature, whinney kids the hell outa here

Well i'm 14, dunno if u consider that a "kid", But i'm not inmature and whiny. But I still remeber the "Coaster #15" thread.....that was the best..so many opinions, that's what makes this place so great....

Well I'm 14 and I lurk most of the time. I post with utmost respect to the rules. I believe that even adults at the age of 30 can be real stupid sometimes. Even I think, my gosh, this is just pointless! Here's what I say to myself just before I post, "Is this going to be pointless, or will it make a point?" It is a cross between the rules of this site and cedarpoint. Get it?... pointless...meaning, not related to CP. Or is it going to have a point, meaning related to CP and people will have something to respond to.

-----------------
Thank you Jeff for your work to make and run this site!

Wow! I can't believe I got to the bottom of this thread without puking!

Keep up the good work Moderators...you're all doing a great job!

It's definitely the mods that keep this site and the Buzz two of the best coaster forums on the net. If you get out of hand they let you know. And if you do, they don't jump down your throat and permanently bounce you off. Ereryone is give a chance to play by the rules.Besides the forum software is easy to use and user friendly and you don't have to pay to use it. But I did send in my check for the CBC.

Thanks

LoL true, RideMan.

Is it just me, or does one of these type of threads pop up every other month or so? I guess, to an extent, they're neccessary.
