This is where you are so very wrong. The internet does not have this freedom of speech you talk about. How do I know this? Look at YouTube for your biggest example. When you enter a community, every community has their own set of rules that you must indeed follow and here we may/will react to your "lol" post because it is against our rules. You have freedom of speech when protected by the government on neutral turf but when you are in someone else's turf then you respect their order.
Quote:You wanna see your forum respected? Respect our posts. But I will give you guys some tips to avoid warning points. Do not say only "lol" ... instead say "wow this post was funny and made me laugh really hard so I wanted you guys to know how this post was funny and to say thanks to the guy who wrote it" (hypocrisy)
Respect our rules and then we can all respect your posts. It is a privilege that you are here, not a right. If you thought something was funny, well then guess what we have this thing called the assaultcube quotes thread.

I would feel sorry if moderators had to waste their time using some complicated system of evaluating forum user’s contributions to threads and calculate warning points based on some convoluted graded system. But that is for them to decide.
