malc d Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Looks like the moderators have been moderating. ;-)

antony1969 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I admit I complained about it as I felt it could offend unhappy people

nightrider Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 On my forum you can post and read what you like, the only proviso is that you respect other members thoughts and views, if you dont like or agree with what they post then hit the road, simples. I started the group exactly one week ago and there are now just over 500 members and it is very active, so active I'm thinking of taking on staff to help me out LOL, I started the group at the behest of members of another group who liked what I wrote and they said they would climb aboard.
CliveH Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 You always get a dichotomy of thought re Forum content - whatever the Forum. Those sponsored by a publication organisation such as this one will have to take into account the law and its readers. Hence it has clear guidelines as to what is acceptable. I never saw the now deleted thread but i would suspect that it fell foul of the religious offence guidelines. A personal forum would not have that issue unless it was advocating illegal action. From a personal viewpoint - I think the moderators here are a tolerant bunch of people who always seem to get the "policing" spot on. The odd Troll and "provocateur" we get on here gets a fair bit of licence before being booted off. If a thread has been deleted - I therefore suspect there was a good reason.
nowtelse2do Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Can understand why it was deleted in this political correct world we now live in, BUT it was true and funny, so the truth is now illegal and at fault. So tell lies. Bankers, Politicians do, so its ok. Dave
nightrider Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 The thread that was sent in was funny and oh so true, as far as I am aware there are no Muslims on this group that would have taken offence, I think it was Syd that sent it in?
Mel B Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 knight of the road - 2012-11-01 5:12 PM The thread that was sent in was funny and oh so true, as far as I am aware there are no Muslims on this group that would have taken offence, I think it was Syd that sent it in? You don't have to be a Muslim to find offence in threads ... for example a thread aimed at Christians could also cause offence to Christians and non-Christians alike, or one aimed at Jews, or whatever religion/creed is being singled out. Offence is offence .... simple as that. :-|

It's no good being a Christian nowadays, wrong religion, slowly being eradicated. :-( Dave

malc d Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 knight of the road - 2012-11-02 1:29 AM I have never known a group to be so touchy and miserable................................... Some even get really upset just because a thread has been removed. :-|

malc d Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 knight of the road - 2012-11-02 9:36 AM Yes, because I dont like the truth being with held and having read your posts over a considerable time ...................................... Thank you for for that Malc. I am indeed honoured to know that you read my posts. ;-)
nowtelse2do Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Did you get out of the wrong side this morning Malc (KOTR) Or have you not been to bed? ;-) Dave

I can't comment on the thread that was removed as I never read it. As above, he who pays the piper calls the tune, so if Warners don't like it they remove the thread, but you should understand that AFAIAW any forum owner is responsible for ensuring it complies with the law of land, many individuals such as yourself are willing to take a risk but for companies thats not a sensible option. It's interesting to compare this forum with a couple of shooting forums I'm a member of, on here I've seen a couple of threads where 'deterrents' for cats have been posted, you do that on a shooting forum and it's normally a lifetime ban. But go into the members only section and anti muslim views are freely expressed. The other differance is between a private and 'shop owned' forum, the private forum allows photo's of dead animals in members section, try that on the 'shop owned' forum and it's a ban, even linking to a newpaper article showing dead animals is not allowed.
CliveH Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 What about Politicians Colin They are generally dead from the neck up. But sadly for us they are often depressingly active from the waist down (running from reality and fornicating/procreating)
Dr Dave Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I for one am fed up of people who don't like what they hear or see claiming to be offended, offended by everything that does not suit them why oh why can they not just ignore things and get on with life. Actually i am offended by them being offended (if that's not offensive)
Brian Kirby Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Personally, I am offended by people who deny that what they say can cause offence. They don't have to do, or say anything, it is merely their existence that I find offencive. Get out of that! :-D
