Former Trek writers team up to launch 'Star Wolf'

[StarFuryG7]

Well, Blastr has embarked on a campaign of censorship once again, so in all honesty, I'm going to be taking that into account here in the future, and may decide not to post an article headline and accompanying link as a result. The way I see it, we're a small forum, but two can play at that game nonetheless. In fact, I'll post exactly what I attempted to post there a couple of hours ago, which hasn't shown up, and feel free to tell me if you think there are legitimate grounds for not letting it go through over there. This is precisely what I said:

It may not sound original, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't make a good, engaging show. I agree with you about the premise, but my concern would be that they would have adequate resources and the right kind of talent to make it right even if they meet their intended budgetary goals. This would be outside the traditional oversight of a studio and network, so it could turn out to be on par with some of the fan film Internet stuff that's out there. (No, I'm not a fan of "New Voyages"/"Phase II" and similar such projects out there, largely because they're amateur productions and they come off that way.)

That was in response to the first and only post there at the time, and as of right now, there are just three postings by people, so the so-called moderation staff is being ridiculous obviously.

At any rate, here's the article:

Tired of network TV? Two former Star Trek writers are too, so they're turning to you to help make their next series.

Gary, maybe you weren't censored. (I don't see why your comments would be.) Maybe it's some internet glitch, something that kept it from going through. I looked at the article and didn't see comments from anyone.

Gary, I just noticed that your rank here is "God." Guess I've got quite a ways to go before I'm a deity!

The most interesting part of this potential series is the writers. If they are involved, I'll watch if only out of respect.

No, Mel, that's not it. The Page gave me a message saying my post had been submitted for moderation. I tired posting a similar message again with the same content, only made to not look like a reply to the first poster I had responded to, and I got the same message again. Some of these articles are being selected for moderated submissions, while others aren't, so it may be that they're leaving that up to the authors of the articles and whether or not they wish to handle their articles that way.

As for your messages not showing up, I thought that was a problem that only I have been having because I use IE10, and it happens frequently with the Internet Explorer browser for some reason, since you're noticing it too. I switch over to Opera when that happens, and all the posts show up right away, so that's an IE issue apparently.

I was thinking the same thing, which is why I bothered to post it here, even though I was silenced over on that article Page (my two posts never did show up, and the same must have happened to others as well, since there are relatively few posts there.)

Yeah, I'm not sure if I should be uncomfortable with that title or not here. After all, I am not the Almighty, and would never pretend to be.

Same here. I think Gerrold is a bit full of himself, but I love Fontana's work. I'm in !
