What a strange little primitive tradition, to withhold information from the public. What I meant by censor is they withhold information to non-subscribers as part of their business model. Not offering free information is a primitive relic.
You know, it's akin to a bunch of hipsters sitting down at the cafe, arguing at each other about trivial issues. The arguing could be forgiven, if the content wasn't so trite and run of the mill.
What a strange tradition, to only share limited information and withhold other information simply because it has no discerned monetary value. They don't spread our information because they don't consider us part of their inner circle or business model. How primitive. Would it be the end of the world if they just, I don't know, shared a couple of our quality posts in their magazine?
No, it wouldn't. It would only be the end of petty traditions.
Add publishing and forum hosting to the list of things you have absolutely no understanding of, to call selecting articles and allowing members to post on a forum as some kind of censorship is just about as far down the evolutionary scale you can get. your first mistake was trying to think, something you are totally unequipped for. Publishers can only print articles that have been submitted to them, a forum can only monitor the posts that are made, there may be a notice that posts can be published in the magazine, but I don't see one and without that being stated up front the publisher can't use a post without permission of the author.
You seem like a simpleminded simpleton to the max. If author permissions is a problem, why not send the author a PM. Or keep with your rabbling about rules and regulations, the bane of any kind of progress indeed. Rules and regulations, publishers can only do this, publishers can only do that, simple minded, narrow minded human babbletalk. It's very simple, if it's an issue, why send them a PM. Did the thought never cross your mind.
Do you find yourself special with your deep understanding of the humans trivial and pathetic social norms?
Honestly, you have never have anything good, original or anything controversial, besides being annoying. I may troll but I am a much higher level troll than you. You never ever ever have anything of value and it's just not entertaining to read. Ever. All you do is give me disappointment, over and over. Like a continuous feeling of "what the fuck is this shit, how pathetic." or a continuous feeling of facepalm and wanting to bash something onto the wall. Would it hurt to surprise me, just for once, and say something that isn't utterly pissful.
Why do you resist my suggestion for our posts to be in the magazine? It
would be like shooting yourself in the foot, though we both know your posts are too short to ever be featured. I can't recall most anything from you longer than 2 sentences. Just a simpleton interfering with good progress with their "understanding" of rules and regs. Your understanding is worthless and it clouds your judgement too. I see things that need to be done. You however, are too busy surrounding yourself the delusions and petty customs of the apelike race.
You don't even have an avatar. Go back to clown school and try again. You're just boring and in your old age you somehow fail at humor which is odd actually. Too reserved in my opinion, you don't have what it takes. I sense much fear in you...
