What does the TMF owe YOU?

[smokinj]

Don't think it owes us anything, after all we supply 100% of the content. Every story, vid clip, image, etc is all member offered. Hell, every thread period regardless of content is member offered. The mods do their best to keep it all civil. I wouldn't necessarily want to visit a forum where everyone was at each other's throats arguing constantly.

I've been there, its called usenet. The old message boards where it truly was the wild west and nothing was out of bounds to post, no matter the subject matter. Not to get preachy but think about what you post, not everyone has the same sense of humor or likes and dislikes. That being said, I love this site for the most part. Mostly everyone I've talked to here have been very nice people.

"What does the TMF owe us?" Nothing. However if they want to keep a solid member base to attract vendor advertisement revenue, it's in their best interests to put some effort in maintenance instead of taking the easy way out and just closing a thread. Aren't there like five or six moderators on staff? All it would have taken was one of them to camp out in that thread and enforce the rules just like FB suggested.

I think the member base is pretty solid anyways. Have you really considered leaving since the thread closure?

There is nothing free in this world. For anything you take, you pay in another way... or probably have paid for it beforehand. That explains the rest of the uncharted anguish or glee in a silent world...

I certainly would if this kind of action became commonplace. And I doubt I'd be the only one.

Why was the Casey Anthony thread deleted?

What does the TMF owe folks?

We owe you our thanks.

By being part of the forum, and doing all the things that go along with that all of you have built a community that has gone quite far in making many peoples lives better. A real accomplishment.

All we have ever wanted to do was provide a place where people who felt some connection, curiosity, or interest in tickling could meet, interact and as a result grow. That has happened.

And for that we do thank you.

I am owed $1 million American. I expect payment in crisp $100 bills. On a serious note, the TMF owes me nothing. I've had the chance to meet so many wonderful people I never would have known otherwise. That alone has made the ups and downs we have here worthwhile. This is where I finally came out of the closet if you will about this thing of ours, to the point that I don't care who knows, or what they think about it. I can't put a price on that. If anything I owe a debt of gratitude to the people who made this possible for me.

Actually good point, I do feel I'm owed some money. Please deliver it in a silver briefcase please.

I think the administrators of this site are doing us all a huge favor. And the people who noted that only the government can be guilty of censorship are right. The mods here are not violating anybody's rights when they set limits. This is their site and we're their guests.

LOL the could have closed several where you and I were at each others throats but did not do so.....so I DONT think we need worry about it becoming commonplace.....


As for what the TMF owes me....not a thing...The forum provided a place for us to go back in the days when there was none....and it has continued to evolve ever since.....

I would respectfully disagree on two points, WIP. I don't see it as them doing us this huge favor. I see it more as a symbiotic relationship. They provide the venue by which we can discuss topics and view media. We provide them with a target audience for their advertisers. It's a situation in which both we and they mutually benefit, so I don't really see that either side owes the other any great debt of gratitude.

I would say that censorship here at the TMF is exactly that. Censorship. Suppression of certain ideas and concepts by the reigning authorities of the community. However there's no smoking gun to it. They fully admit that what they do is censorship. So anybody who doesn't want to be censored can certainly decline to participate.

I have never actually considered this question before.

To me, this forum was just another state of being. Give and take seems to be the only natural recourse either here or ANY forum that a person considers their cyberspace home.

Up and down. Contribute and detract. Love and hate. It's all the same everywhere.

 

[ticklebunny 2]

I feel that the TMF owes me nothing. I am really happy and feel very blessed and very fortunate that I found the TMF. Ticklebear2 and I really enjoy the forum and we have made some really good friends on here. It has been a really great place where we can truly relax, unwind, read tickle stories, interact and talk to friends we have on the forum, and it has been a place -where we feel we can be comfy-truly be ourselves. So thank you TMF.🙂

The TMF owes me $37.43

It owes me a cheesesteak (whiz) with fried onions and mushrooms from Gino's, with a side of cheese fries, and a large coke the size of the SS United States.

 

[T.O. Guy]

Sorry, bad wording. Yes it was a good example of censorship, I just meant that in a way like "ugh I'm tired of hearing about that woman!" 😛.

and the beauty of these forums is if you don't wanna hear about her, just don't read the threads..... I could care less about her, so I haven't read any of the threads....

I fuly support free speech, but figure the mods are here for a reason and if they decide to lock a thread, it's their call, and I'll peacefully abide by that.... I can't really imagine myself getting involved in something offensive enough to have the mods lock it.... so I suppose it's not really my fight one way or another...
