yeah it sound right that the poeple who made AW.net were banned from here becuase they very annoying and ban people etc..

aw.net is not a true amigans website if a fellow amigan cant put across his views without harrasment or flamewars or even a ban!


There is reasons for all your accounts (a quick look gives at least 3) being banned on aw.net.

And please do tell people yourself about those reasons before accusing aw.net for discrimination and harassment.

1) Both sites serve their audiences well, and hopefully we do a decent job of representing our audience, just like Davey does.


You do.  :pint:  :-)

While polite etiquette is important, these are international sites and I believe moderation should be as light as possible to allow for free contribution because I think that makes for a better more diverse environment including sometimes a more humorous one.. Everyone has different standards for what's appropriate content.


On the contrary, I believe that International sites needs more moderation.
People have different values, and different backgrounds, a joke for me can be an insult for you, with me totally unaware of that it can be an insult from your point of view.
It is a narrow path between a joke and insult some times.

You mentioned totally free speech.
That is not possible in Europe.
Germany, Turkey and a few other countries here has laws against denying or mentioning some historical events, breaking those laws can lead to prison sentences.
Here in Sweden a site owner was recently sentenced for posts the members of his forum had made, which he did not moderate, and so on.
So basically aw.net can not allow as much "free speech" as Amiga.org can, the server is in France, and thus the French laws apply.

If you enjoy it here, great! Thank you!. If you enjoy it there, cool as well.


My addon to that is: We can not please you all on one single site, fortunately there still is a few Amiga-sites to choose between ;-)
