I guess the mods believe in sensorship too...

We were talking about the right of saying Merry Christmas in our Verizon Wireless retail and/or indirect stores, but apparently the mods didn't like religious discussions. But hey, it is their message board, they have the right to sensor this debate...

...the threads are outlined differently, there. Everything is one under the other, or whatever. Here, notice how most of the files in your web address bar (on Phonescoop) reference a dot PHP... It's kind of like an add-on (or in) to HTML (website programming language)... It looks like if they move a file they might ruin the integrity of the overall website or the way it displays on your screen...

i deleted the thread from this forum because the verizon forum is for discussing verizon as it relates to their products and services.

this topic is not really about verizon, nor is it limited to verizon. so yes, we censored it from the verizon forum.

we try to keep religious debate off the forums. they are too explosive of a topic for members to discuss in a civil manner and often create problems we have to step in to manage. however, if you must revive this topic, we have recommended to fresno it be taken up in the lounge.

I was actually trying to make a point about sensorship. People were saying that they thought sensorship on radio airwaves is wrong. But, I agree...you have the right to dictate what goes on in these forums.


Of course you could also see to deleting all those threads about crying and moaning about contracts/insurance/policies/etc....


oh wait...then we wouldn't have ANYTHING to talk about. 😁

Religion and politics won't stir the passion of this forum nearly as much as daring to criticize Verizon. This site is religious by it's nature. Its where people come to worship the almighty VZW!

Every carrier forum is like dat, though.

Go onto the Cingular (or T-Mobile, or Sprint, or whatever) forum sayin', "Cingular SUCKS" an' you'll get gang-flamed fo' it, no doubt. Or deleted.

I agree with them moving it out actually (though I was disappointed by it myself)...Though I would like to know where it was moved too...SystemShock managed to post to it just now after I got the deleted message thing on it...Wonder where?

Anywho...This is a forum on VZW, it went WAY off topic of anything even remotely having anything to do with VZW, so it was something that should have been done, just would have been nice to move it to the lounge rather than deleting it.

It's good to see that in some areas you're capable of being reasonable and rational; just too bad it's not frequent.

there are a lot of people that do not celebrate christmas, so i dont see the problem with saying "happy holidays".. this way everyone is being recognized at this time of the year. Christmas is not the only holiday at the years end. Just my personal opinion.
