eAustralian Admins Remove Almost 1 Year Of Info : Howard / Krudd Jealous
Australian Warlord
In a move that would make Howard / Krudd jealous, the eAustralian has removed almost one full year of information & discussions. This attack on FOI for information that was perviously publicly accessable means that no eAustralian citizen can access any of eAustralia's historical discussion & we are all left with the eAustralian governments version of any event or discussion.
This move has been undertaken to prevent both independent eMedia & individual eCitizens from undertaking any research of their own. Howard - Rudd - Beattie - Yemma etc would all be jealous. They would love to be able to go through all of Australia's document & go on a wiping frency.

Try it everybody & see if I'm lying.
We don't need them forums we have new ones mate.
The new forum does not contain 1 years worth of data, if the new forums had taken over all the posts from the old one then the argument would stand but as it sits now, it’s a Suspension of Freedom of speech and Freedom of Information.

If People has started using the Information for Legit Purposes, rather then for Ammunition and Hate Articles, then we would be in a Different Position.
Unfortunately People have abused that Right.
We are not going to Destroy Peoples Privacy and Rights because a Couple Outspoken Citizens wish to Mis-Use the Information.
It's still information though. You don't just delete a years worth of information without backing it up.
@ Pred
What privacy issue is there when they are posting on a "public" forum?
People have a right to freedom on information and freedom of speech, some people may have been fond of their posts in that forum which are now gone!
"What privacy issue is there when they are posting on a "public" forum?"
The Forums were Never Public, There is Various Security Measures such as Citizen Masking and Group Status's. (Which No Longer Apply)

As I have Said, People are abusing those rights and using Items and Texts as Ammunition for their Personal War.
People also have Rights to Privacy.

The Information has not been Destroyed, Im Unsure where you got that Information.
Trusted Members still have Access to the Old Forums, if you would like to find out things, then go through them.
I have to agree with Alex on this one .
Senator Bilbarus
For all those that are Repeating themselves like a Scratched Record Player..
"We have Freedom of Speech and Freedom to Information".
Unfortunately, We do not have a Constitution, or a Bill of Rights in eAustralia which Details any form of Freedom of Speech.
The Freedom of Information Act.
http://forum.erepublik.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=417
The Freedom of Information Act, At No Point, Allows or Discloses Access to a Closed-Down Forum.
It Allows Senate Discussion and Policies to be seen, but all such Items were Transferred over when we changed Forums.
So Preditorian, are yyou claiming to have eGovernmental authority to officially speak on these matters?
Not Once Have I claimed to be affiliated with the eGovernment.
I do claim to be apart of eAustralia, whether you are or not, is entirely up to you.

AW did you know you had to pay for them forums?
well if you want to keep it online then you can pay for us, i am not sure about the cost but someone must know.
Hey, you haven't seen the old old old forums, that probably has more ammunition for your pee shooter.
All information needed is on the new forums.
The board is closed because:
1). We don't use it any more
2). We don't want people getting it confused with the new one
3). People sign up and abuse it
4). The server it's hosted on, will be shutting down soon
You can still view the forum, if you had a login there. We are not going to un-necessary trouble, just so you can view posts about people eating Sunday lunch. If you want to view the old forums, ask someone if you can use their account.
If you don't like that, I don't care. As it states in the rules of the new and old forums, we the admins are allowed to do anything with them to our discretion.
Sorry guys but the argument of miss-use is ridiculous.
I can pick up a bible and grab some quotes and completely distort everything in there, and in the same way I can pick up a book on Quantum Physics and completely destroy string theory.
But the answer isn’t “BURN THE BOOKS”, the answer is “ I should be able to”.
AW took what was posted and in his “conspiracy filled paranoid state” jumped, well launched really, to conclusions that were not true.
But by disabling the forums you took away my right to defend myself! I could not show the proof in his misconstrued allegations because it was taken away from me, Thankfully MachineMadness had it on file.
Keeping the eHistory of eAustralia for a select few IS totalitarian!
Quote Preditorian : "No Reputable Media Group or Newspaper

No reputable media group or newspaper deliberately & knowingly spreads lies for a good story & for the appeasement of others.
Yeh.. What is it your Newspaper does?
Oh thats right..
"deliberately & knowingly spreads lies for a good story & for the appeasement of others."
Except its a Terrible Story and No-one is pleased. 😉
Rite, well I re-opened the old forums to read only. It took time to do it (setting up permissions and such), so I expect at least a thank you. Especially since you didn't ask nicely...
Thankyou Mr MachineMadness. 😃
Thank you MachineMadness it is very much appreciated.
/bow
MM, why would they even be closed in the first place?
" 4). The server it's hosted on, will be shutting down soon "
Thank you AW for put it in evidence.
Thank you MachineMadness for the right decision.
this smells no matter how you spin it
@ everyone saying stuff about A_W...
"it takes a whole heap of people to make a world, and it just wouldn't be as entertaining without the nut cases and A-holes" 😉
@hubert : I assume that if someone as getting bashed on the street by a bunch of drunken thugs, you'd be right there cheering on the thugs. You should learn about the facts of certain things before you start mouthing off.
