I can definitely agree there are cliques of posters who like to throw their weight around due to their join dates and mass amounts of posts. But if anything the mod I contacted was obviously upset that I questioned him or even dared spark controversy in a thread. Really pathetic but often a trait of people willing to moderate the remanence of the old VB bulletin forums. Bodybuilding.com and it’s MISC forum is another of the old forums still around but with a bit more lenience.
I followed up with a moderator and went back and forth, they said because I was diverting traffic/users that it was against the T&C. But I called them out Because that’s simply not a real rule, I think the larger issue was be spilling the beans on the buyout (Only the owners of ATS are suppose to know who’s purchasing the site content) that AT&T/Warner media were the ones in contract negotiations. Regardless I’ll have to tread lightly with my posts there. sucks because I’ve heard that they (Warner Media and other child companies of AT&T) will be leveraging user Generated content to create new IPs/used to do AI machine learning, and will own the intellectual property rights. Users will have 0 claim to any profits made from their posts/content... it’s almost 20 years of material being absorbed. Crazy stuff
So your telling me Hollywood predicted all of this and put it in Wonder Woman 1984? Max lord (who was a obvious nod to Donald Trump) becomes president and broadcasts his message across a weaponized Global Broadcast Satellite... if so, good, I already know what I’m wishing for.
