Amiga.org and Bias
« on: August 21, 2003, 07:25:22 PM »
Various people have claimed that Amiga.org is biased towards one  technology or the other - this is not true. When Pegasos and MorphOS first came on the Amiga scene, Amiga.org didn't publish information about either - now the parent companies of both advertise through Amiga.org and news about both products is posted at Amiga.org regularly.  One of our staff (Wayne Hunt) now works for Genesi, another uses Pegasos, and some of us are waiting for Amiga OS 4. That said, when we  see a user insulting others in our forums, trolling, or outright  flaming, we revoke that user's privileges.

So, going forward, if a user violates our terms of service and posting guidelines, that user's account may be suspended, restricted, or revoked  at the discretion of Amiga.org staff members regardless of their views on various technologies or the company that they work for. This is not evidence of bias on the part of Amiga.org staff; rather, it is evidence  of our desire for AO not to devolve into a flamefest where chaos reigns.

The question should be "is there censorship on here?"


as long as a user doesn't violates our posting guidelines, there is no censorship.

Yes, send echother an e-mail and sort things out in private.

Amiga.org will not be a battleground as clearly stated in the above announcement.
