Hi ATS forum!

Hello forums!

I'm just making a thread on the introduction section because of the rules placed on this site. To me it seams that the NWO has already infiltrated this website and placed rules after rules, which I hate to say it but some don't even need to be placed. But thats my opinion What happened to the simplicity of forums and not the fractional warnings placed by moderators, I guess what I'm suggesting is making a section were "free people" are free to say what they wish without having infractions placed on what they have said

This is what I wanted to post:

Hello and welcome to the boards Millicake.

Whilst I appreciate your sentiments with regards to being 'free' and having 'no rules' you are not here under duress and are free to express yourself without fear of reprisal if you follow the terms and conditions of the site.

If you do not wish to follow the T&C you are more than welcome to buy your own webspace and post your musings there.

The moderation team here are very good and allow for discussion of almost everything and will go out of their way to assist you should you need it. The rules here are to protect those 'free' members who don't shoulder the responsibility of toleration to others and to prevent abuse of power.

I've had some run ins myself and am speaking from experience.

Fight the fight but respect the venue.

Thanks for the welcome. I admire your hospitality and the representation of reprisal without jurisdiction with an exception of terms and conditions. I agree with you on that.

I have done so and already am ahead of your suggestion, yet with this account I will remain within your website's "T&C".

I agree with you on having a moderation team to make sure others fallow the "rules" set by numerous board leaders, but I disagree with you on being able to be "free".

I will surly take this advice into consideration. Thank you.

I disagree with you, I respect everything my five scenes perceive it to be.
I don't create fire upon fire.

Welcome to the forums, millicake. The rules are very simple actually, don't be a jerk and abide the T&C and you will have no problems.

For now you can only reply to any threads, in any of the forums you wish. Once you have reached 20 posts you will be able to start your own threads, and you will be able to send & receive U2U's (messages) to and from the membership. At present your U2U capability is limited to staff only.

ATS is large and there is a bit of a learning curve on how things are done here. So take your time. You will see the members are helpful and friendly, and never without opinion.

Remember please this thread is an introduction from you to us. To tell us a bit about you. It's not to start a topic of your choice, I trash those. this time I just removed your video

the majority of our members rarely even come into contact with the staff, unless it is in the form of responses in their threads. It is but a small fraction of the membership that find themselves being tagged for off topic posts, manners issues etc. They are, usually, the new members who jump in and start posting without actually observing how well the site runs, as a result of the civility and decorum we promote here.

millicake, you will find the staff to be members first and, as a result, they are merely working (for free I might add) towards providing a nice, clean, respectable environment for you, and the rest of the 2 million plus readers) to discuss conspiracies and other such topics.
