The Democratic Peoples Republic of

North Korea Pasoti

I see the Contact the Admins board has been locked in it's entirety. Shame because just recently it's been the most interesting bit. So any dissent is dealt with behind closed doors via a Point of Contact. The reaction to Deepthroat etc has seen a circling of the wagons and a raising of the drawbridge (sorry to mix metaphors) despite the problems being caused by Pasoti's nearest and dearest and uber posters.

You might have thought the reaction would be more openess (eg who are the mods and their accounts) and more transparency (who are the owners and what influence they have) but instead it's becoming more and more of a closed shop (deleting posts that don't add value or any that mention deep throat for goodness sake).

And when you contact the mods. via pm. as I have asking why I was banned and where the offending post is, why isn't Newell banned as he clearly broke the rules, they just ignore the post. Greenthing loves to answer my posts but doesn't like questions it would seem?

As long as ATD remains democratic , with annual elections for admin and a limit on how many consecutive years any mod can operate, we will never go down that nauseatingly hypocritical and corrupt route.
Their arrogance and refusal to apply rules fairly to all posters is truly astounding.

Who do they think they are and who do they think they're fooling ? As ATD grows in use and respect, Pasoti sinks further into the gutter.

There will always be differences of opinion in admin, it's happening here, but the democratic element if preserved at all costs, will always restore a balance, should that be necessary.

That's very true but sometimes the truth has to be told for the better of all, especially those that were not aware of circumstances. But now they are, people can make a choice and decide who has lost the most respect and I think most have already come to a conclusion now that the evidence is clear.

Just like the good old days Del. You and I, standing back to back against the dark forces of Pasoti. We were right then and we're still right now.............despite our differences of opinion.

You bet mate and despite the differences, the fundamental reasons why ATD exist and why we are here will not change.

Get a room, you two.

We've got one!

I am beginning to wonder if ATD have actually taken over the running of Pasoti and are deliberately turning the place into a joke.

Their response to the Deep Throat and Flickr scandal is to be even less open and transparent then they were before.

What happens if I make a complaint to Postey about one of his friends? Judging by the way he has attacked anyone who criticised Newell I imagine he would delete my post and ban me.

How can we trust the pasoti mods? One of them has been exposed as holding private material off line from pasoti. How do we know that the rest of them are not doing it as well?

yet I am banned from Pasoti despite never having had a warning against me. So I must be banned for being a member of ATD and making comments over here.

I was also IP banned for comments made on here, so Greenthing is talking out of his ass. They've lied about Windsor Boy (according to them- a normal poster who deleted his account, yet they deleted his posts as well) and it makes you wonder what else they've been economical with the truth about?
