I just wanted to take some time to let you know...after my first account was deleted, then the second...I've had some free time to observe this website...and now with my 3rd screen name, I'll be adding my final thoughts.
It has become so obvious that this website is very "Clickish" for lack of a better word...and only certain people are allowed to speak freely. And most do on each and every subject! I have attempted to comment on several topics, but I have been personally attacked, and the moderators have felt the need to delete, or edit comments in an unfair fashion.
I have taken the time to email as many sponsors as I can on your website, including Cedar Point. This website is SOO Far away from what it started out for...and these forums are SOO out of control.
I am a season pass holder and enjoy my visits to Cedar Point on a weekly basis. I come to Pointbuzz PURELY for the comedy now. These forums are truely a joke. As a very small voice I will be heard by as many sponsors as will listen. I can't imagine they would enjoy sposoring such a one sided opinion.
As for the hand full of people who will read this before it gets deleted, and my account shut down again...I understand the importance of having moderators...however these moderators have allowed a few to speak freely, and of course they use this as a forum to speak their minds. But if your opinion doesn't match thiers, or you make a comment on someone or something that they don't appreciate, it gets deleted. I believe that's called sensorship, and who in this day and age would believe this is allowed to continue.
Thanks again Pointbuzz for the laugh. Rather than continuing to play games with you on pointbuzz...I will just spend my free time emailing your sponsors!! Good Luck!!
Hahahahahahaha. You e-mail them. Have a good time. I'm sure they'll all listen.
You can speak freely if you don't act like a moron and don't violate the terms of service. And if we don't agree with what you have to say, someone will call you on it. If you can't deal with that, you shouldn't post on the Internet.
Don't let the door hit you...

Number 7...when was the last time you enforced that rule?? Several of your members are guilty of Number 7 EVERYTIME they post!! Like I want to listen to a 20 yr old, who worked there one year comment on each and everytopic.
Moderators should Moderate!! You want to play by rules let's enforce ALL of them!
I have now heard from several of your sponsors over the past few days, so they are listening, and now they'll be watching! Good Luck!
Wow. Your posts confuse me.
Your first post sounded like you think it's overmoderated, your second sounds like it's undermoderated. Let me tell you, I think that PB is a perfect balance. I've been to forums that are both (under and over) and neither stays fun after a while. I've been coming to PointBuzz and reading for a while (just joined recently to post), and I think that they do a good job of letting people be heard but not get out of control.
You sir, I believe is in the out of control section.
And shouldn't this be in the Site Feedback forum?

I agree Gee Force... I feel that some friendly discussion is great until it gets out of control. It seems that your posts micplvr, always escalate into something out of control, as you've proven with almost every post that you're out to create a stir and nothing else. Why else would you come back to this board you so despise and give one last jab at everyone?
I never had a problem with your posts, nor with you expressing your opinions. We don't all have the same opinions on this board, and I think most would agree that when we disagree we present our thoughts and opinions in a respectable way, rather than personal attacks, which is what the majority of your posts turned into.
Sounds like this retard has a personal problem with me. Good thing I don't even know him.
Hey so are you going to e-mail me and tell me to stop sponsoring this site? I'll laugh in your face.
Prime example of a violation of Rule #7

Calling me a "Retard" was a nice touch. Thanks, keep on posting!!
I disagree with the Mods. all the time and have never had a post deleted or a topic closed, hmmmmmmmm, it must be you, LOL. Trust me, if we can all sit here for days and complain about seatbelts on Corkscrew and CP does nothing about it, do you really think they, or any of the other sponsors are going to care about your opinion of this site?
P.S. Good one BHolcomb

First trip June 23rd
195 posts with only ONE visit to the point this year...those are great stats! Sure makes you qualified to speak on many subjects!
The sponsors may or may not doing anything, but then again...look what happened recently to Yahoo groups and chats! A sponsor needs to pay close attention to what and where their ads are placed. A lone voice maybe all it takes to draw attention to this comdey.
Within this thread alone, I've been called a moron and a retard, yet I'm the one who gets critizied for complaining too much. Go Figure.
Having two accounts deleted and still creating another... those are great stats! Sure makes you qualified to speak on many subjects!
Why do you even come back here if you hate it so much. By th way your post breaks rule #7 and #4. No one but yourself wants to hear this.

Here's a great example of the "Click" these same people posted the last time I raised a subject. Jeff, I'm suprized you've allowed this to go on this long!
Wouldn't be a post without hearing from Michael Darling though! One of the great violators of Rule #7.

My posts have been pretty much on topic...about the way this website is run, frustrated with people who think they know Everything, my emailing sponsors and rule #7.
I think anyone how has gone off this topic, such as yourself, is the one creating noise! So who's really trolling?? But you just keep on posting!!

I'm behind MIcplvr3 completely. This is my first post (and last) because of the "click" on this site. I just felt it was time to stand up for someone who's got it right. The attitude of some of the people on this site sucks! I don't care if the owner of the park is letting you wash his feet or granting private audiences - that doesn't give you the right to treat people like crap. Which is what most of you people do. Before responding to the thread again, how about taking a good look at what you've posted over the past month and see it from someone else point of view? If you don't see, then YOU are the moron and the retard. I'll be sending an email to your advertisers as well and encourage others to do the same.
Walt - You should never have gotten into bed these people - YOUR site was SO much better by itself. It was TOTAL fandom without the attitude.

Now we've learned something today!! Thanks So Much Jilly!!
Well you obviously didn't know it... so yes, you did learn something today.

Look at your definition of #7..... apply it to yourself, because you're making more noise than anyone.
Yet more proof you just want to cause trouble. Look at all your continued replies on this board, the board that you hate going to, and hate posting on.
I don't post on this site very often for this exact reason. I tried once to start a fun thread about the funny things you hear when you are waiting in line. Somewhere it took a violent turn, and these "Regulars" got all in a bunch. It finally got back on target, but it wasn't fun for me!
I'm not sure I'd go to the extreme of emailing sponsors or advertisers...but I will admit the ONLY reason I visit this site anymore is to get a good laugh! This thread is a great example, of watching the vultures sworm in on someone! Great fun to watch! The people who take the time to point out spelling errors, or punctuation mistakes, how does that have anything to do with Cedar Point?
I too miss Virtual Midway!!
