You don't get "flack from the mods".  What you do get is a gentle reminder that you need my permission before posting a link on here for a personal survey.

Yep, that's what I heard the last 3 times I tried getting permission to post a link or public survey.  Everytime I ask the mods, I get stonewalled and no answer.  You, right now would maybe want to be more helpfull and give me a link or some instruction on what is an acceptable means and format for someone with my ability to ask for a request.  It seems to me that the means to ask for permission are being obscured and hidden in a very non-socialist way.  Why not just include a link to serve as the "means" for contacting you in your warnings? Meenwhile others who's views you favor post links quite liberally and you have no problem with that because it fits your pet personallized definition of socialism.  This is the behavior of a capitalist, and I urge you to act more socialist.  Do not accept the preconceptions from capitalism on the conception of spam or the conception of a survey as undesireable.  Do not restrict your acceptance of links to only those that the capitalist system has promoted.  A personal link to a personally produced product or presentation has as much or more value than one that has been vetted and endoresed and reprinted by media which exists in a capitalist framework for the purpose of generating media profits.  Free yourself from your preconceptions and ask what would Marx really have done in your shoes.  p.s. I am far far from bourgois.  

You have never tried getting permission to post your survey on here.  Indeed, you have posted it on here willy nilly despite the reminders and warnings.  If you had cared to read the rules they tell you to seek permission you need to PM me.  If you do this I suggest you just request permission and provide the link.  I don't need a lengthy justification or rationalisation on the neccesity for the survey.

 I eagerly await your one paragraph explanation for how a socialist would explain a sliding scale price tag to another true socialist. P.s. I would gladly link to a very understandable and quick readable slideshow to explain a sliding scale price tag that I created, but the mods get upset when I link to the project description and say I"m making an endorsement for something that is not relevant to the socialist case.  Maybe if you ask directly, I'll show you how I explained a sliding scale price tag to everyone using common parlance, but you have to ask for the link or I don't think the mods will accept me posting it.  If you ask for it, I can also give you a link to a survey form for the slideshow that crowdsources opinions on the understandability and enjoyment of slideshow and helps iteratvely refine the slideshow explanation in a work process that is completely voluntary and socialist. Again, whenever I add a link to the survey form for you to see my slideshow AND improve the communication in it by completing a survey, I just get flack from the mods.  So you have to ask me or I really can't share this communication and idea that has been prohibeted and forbidden knowldge by the mods here.  

You don't get "flack from the mods".  What you do get is a gentle reminder that you need my permission before posting a link on here for a personal survey.

 In honouring your intention, I submit to the Forum moderator in conformance with Forum rules.  In return I expect not to chafe under personal micromanagement in an open Forum.

Would appreciate what you actually mean in regards to micromanagement.  Some examples would help where I've indulged in 'micromanagement'.

The only reason Bob Andrews has been issued a warning is so the Moderator can give me a warning. He will be wetting himself that I fell into the trap set for me. No matter which way the rules are manipulate or twisted  the moderator is making the  party look ridiculous.'Bob Andrews' is a Troll and uses a pseudonym, I am a member of the party defending myself against unmoderated TROLLS. To suspend me until the next conference while this fucking troll continues his attacks  is not on. I hope the majority of members agree.Moreover, setting up and/or supporting trolls to settle old scores and to provoke a response is petty minded, childish and detrimental to the interests of the party. The member(s) responsible should hang their heads in shame. 

2nd warning: 14. Rule enforcement is the responsibility of the moderators, not of the contributors. If you believe a post or private message violates a rule, report it to the moderators. Do not take it upon yourself to chastise others for perceived violations of the rules. 15. Queries or appeals relating to particular moderation decisions should be sent directly to the moderators by private message. Do not post such messages to the forum. You must continue to abide by the moderators’ decisions pending the outcome of your appeal.
