WHAT IS GOING ON??

I've been heavily meditating lately, and I got the unmistakable impression that ToZ is on a slippery slope with these changes. I'm not saying it's going to happen now, but there will come a time with the current trend that members will start to become paranoid and start second guessing everything they post, until it gets to the stage when they simply will give up and stop posting - you see where I'm going with this?

I'm sorry if I opened a can of worms with my original post, but I truly believed I had just cause, and still do.

This was the wrong impression and also implies your judgement is higher than the Clergy, which is not true. Personally, I will choose HPZM to administer the Temple instead. What he had put forth in regards to the Liturgical changes, and now with the moderation changes, positions ToZ way stronger than before.
 
I hope that our new local policy will allow us to be less paranoid online, and not to give up on messaging apps, social media, Windows, and so on. Perhaps we could even start creating our own apps and programmes, our own infrastructure, our own DNS servers, and so on, since we’re outside the political sphere. I don’t know what’s going on at the highest levels, but that shouldn’t be written about publicly; it’s only accessible to those at the very top. But I believe that whatever happens, ToZ is under absolute protection. And the future will be better. I have a rough idea of what’s going on, but I’ll keep quiet. I hope that one day we’ll create our own AI models and won’t be 100% dependent on anyone.

It gets to the stage of dignified, respectful, intellectual, uplifting, and fulfilling communication between members of the Temple.
Those who find themselves unable or unwilling to learn to practice Ma'at and ascend - it's their loss, really. This is a divine place here, meaning we collectively have to strive towards becoming gradually more divine ourselves.
For expressing unfiltered useless inflammation, other places exist.

Beep-beep!

You do realise this is irrelevant to the Temple's well-being whether a newbie, OR a long-standing member, stops posting, right? There have been cases thake that. I too am more of a reader than one who posts, so this line, while sounding like a threat, is... futile.

But tell you what, you being a new person have an advantage - you can witness how the Temple, the forum is changing. You can SEE the process, which many after you will NOT.

You will be able to say: "I was there, I didn't like some of the changes, but I have come to accept them and I stayed."

Oh, and on a private not, I have been punished once, it was some time ago - a week long ban. I didn't throw a Greta Thunberg tantrum - why? Because I broke some rule, and yet I still want to be able to have a say here.
 
How many times must I say it? Do I need to draw a map?
I didn't take exception to the deletion of defamatory and inappropriate posts.
It was the inept and inconsiderate manner in which it was implemented.
Stop this embarrassing "damage control" exercise, admit you made a mistake - you "fucked the pooch".
MOVE ON!!!!🤨

It's inconsiderate to YOU. You don't know everything and evidently there are nuances that the Clergy get and you don't. That's why they are the Clergy and we are not..😂
It's not an insult or anything, it's just the way It is.
The High Priest and Priestess don't care about "Power" or "control" over us, they do what they do for the Gods.. they are VERY mature.
 
One of the clergy making a sermon about "certain" moderation changes, and then people's avatars and posts being removed without any explanation. Coincidence or something we all should be concerned about?
Is this something the Gods would approve?
Something to think about.
Who are you
You just joined a few months ago
Even if you had a past account why not post from that one

>announcement is made that moderation will be taken a lot more seriously and slop won't be approved
>previous slop is deleted
>this is somehow surprising

Regarding Windows, I have my own personal opinion: I can do exactly everything with Linux and I feel much better. It's not just paranoia, but the very structure of the Windows system that presents various problems, performance issues. Furthermore, a closed system like Windows does not allow me to be totally efficient in adapting it completely to the development of any software, even future software that could eventually be part of the official ToZ network.

If I try to install Windows on my only laptop by following any instructions... I’ll end up breaking it anyway. I don’t want to take any risks, because I can’t afford a new laptop. I’ve disabled all possible telemetry and used third-party software. If I’m going to install Linux, it’ll be under someone’s guidance and supervision. Otherwise, the laptop will be exterminated.
