This thread reminded me of something I read the other day. Mark Zuckerburg's sister Randi said that internet users would "behave a lot better if people were forced to use their real names when communicating online. I think anonymity on the internet has to go away,"

While, I don't totally agree that anonymity has to go away, I do feel in certain situations it would be a good thing. People would think twice about what they are saying if everyone knew who the person was behind the post. I know I do.

I guess we get heavily offtopic in no time soon as we start an internet privacy debate. I for one am VERY critical towards people like Mark Zuckerberg and companies like Google and Facebook. But this is not the place to debate such things.

Greetings to Akos is probably the best thing this thread can offer. Smile

Looking forward to your sounds, Proton. Fall is a quite a wide term. Wink

I also realized that the forum changed during the time; beeing a fund of technical help and new information - in the last time it was sometimes very hard to read through the threads to get the point/info etc. In former times I knew if someone was a platinum member he should have posted a lot of useful information, nowadays some have the platinum membership for a lot of blabla - no problem for me, but it has changed. So some of the forumers may have turned like Akos - sad, but understandable. It is difficult to hold the balance beetween entertainment and serious information, but Ozy in my opinion crossed the line too often.

best regards

Wow , what exactly did Ozy say because I completely missed this ?

I had a few back and forth "debates" w/ Ozy after I joined this forum this year. I can't speak for the mods, obviously, but I think he stepped way over the line in criticizing Korg employees (including the helpful guys that make this forum uniquely valuable) in this thread:
http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=61875

Based on the "conversation" with StephenKay alone, I would've hellbanned him. To me, this clearly violates the politeness and respect ideals outlined here:
http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=367277

Just my opinion (which I know can be rather pointed on here sometimes).

I'm not a big fan of those guys either. I'm constantly tweaking my FB account settings as they keep coming up with new ways to take away our privacy rights. However, in forums like this anonymity can bring out the worst - so I think we should all take a deep breath before clicking on the submit button.

Yeah, it was meant to be. Just giving myself some time in case things don't move as fast as i would like! Stay tuned. Cool

Imagine having trolls on the phone or in front of your home next. Laughing

I get your point and like personal directness, but I guess they would be the last to bother, anonymous or not.

Another way to look at that though - is if it weren't for so much criticism for having an opinion - anonymity wouldn't be necessary.

If anything, being in person makes people limit what they say and not necessarily express themselves to the truest extent.

As an example, making a negative comment about social welfare in the USA makes many people label you an instant racist. An unfair (and untrue) label.


So while anonymity does allow people to be rude and insulting etc...that may be a closer representation to how the person really is than the persona or cherade they would put on in person in front of you!

I was not sad to see Ozzy go. I think he was abusive and sent me messages that were incredibly irritating while saying something else entirely in the forum.


Well i guess i have to join this topic.

Monkeys might look fun for the first time but then thay begin to bite and also with their low intellegense u begin to degrade with them.

if u need monkeys u can always google them http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&xhr=t&q=monkeys&cp=7&qe=bW9ua2V5cw&qesig=dpl_lfnzUZfs58lE9uXs6A&pkc=AFgZ2tlK1Q1gpbG7Y8gQVVtXngqtZMJ38afUpVnQC7yVaMGMh5aVDHNQNnaGPMavK3HitRqRSizTZlEtj0YbwUIBI8NW55RMaQ&qscrl=1&nord=1&rlz=1T4GZAG_enCA442CA442&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1152&bih=725&ion=1&wrapid=tljp131196093665502&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi

So that is good desigion was mabe by Sharp to bann that monkey.

it was always discusting to read it's post and 99% of the really does not make any sense.

so let Ozzy troll over Roland forum and probably he will be banned there as well so then he will have only choise to go to Motifator and troll there in "Mo Loung"

p.s. actualy I was banned on this forum a year go or so too because i seid that Oasys was too expansive i guess, don't remember by who Sharp or Daz but it does not metter. and my old nick name was chilly.
But now I come back again Laughing
