1. No they're not. 2. That's the point, the point is that it's a joke just to get the message across that 'you bumped a thread', just saying 'You bumped a thread' is boring. 3. What laws in place tell me I can't? 4. Free speech is key
1. Yes they are. 2. see above 3. Forum Rules 4. 1.) So, for you, 'free speech' is posting what you want? What will you do next, post fetish porn videos all over the site and claim that's 'freedom of expression'? 2.) This is a website run by a private company and free speech laws don't apply here.
1. How do you get pissed off at a dumb internet chain? 2. It's still a joke. 3. Where in forum rules? 4. Free speech not in a way of "oh I can post whatever I want" atleast let me post some dumb internet chain ay? 4.1. And these private companies have to apply to these laws.
Forum rules forbid derailing of threads and spam. Useless "lmao rofl lol bumpity bump" messages fall under both. BeamNG GMBH doesn't have to apply to these laws. Read the ToS. "Moderators reserve the right to remove posts for any reason or no reason without needing to justify their actions". Disagree with the ToS? Get off the site. Simple as that.
Freedom of speech is a completely different thing than the forum TOS. There is simply no need to remove a post because it was some dumb internet chain, as I've said about several thousand times before, this isn't North Korea, it's the capitalist world... Unless you're Ivan then it's not.
Yup, you sound like the usual sort of person that doesn't understand what the fuck free speech actually is
Privately owned websites have absolutely no obligation to allow freedom of speech, its simply in thier best interests most of the time. But its not a requirement at all and they can delete, censor and ban whoever they want for whatever reasons.
this is like the time I was 6 and I asked my mom for a milkshake. when she said no, I told her "It's a free country!" I didn't get a milkshake.
Well that was sudden. Better stop ranting about this stuff or my opinion is going to let loose on my keyboard and someone's going to get the beancan.. Probably me. Most likely.
Freedom ≠ Doing whatever you like. That's anarchy, not "capitalist world". Rules are there for a reason, and you know it. Break the rules, pay the consequences. Simple as that. Let's not misuse words to describe this situation, please.
What. Legit. Google it, websites don't have to allow you to say whatever you want, thats just a fact it can't be argued...
