interfering censorship

[tcm]

what the heck is going on? A bunch of harmless posts bout dearest dom, s**tron chucked with nary a word.

 

[jhr]

I suspect M'learned friends have become involved, or the Kimatollah is worried that they might.......

 

[tcm]

tell you what, i'll slag off your your local sewage works, then you ring up IPC pretending to be Grimley Awful and Awful solicitors and promise er deep [oh really!] unless....

 

[Lakesailor]

Yes. The unfortunate legal thing is that hosts of sites can be held responsible for opinions expressed thereon. Bit of a sticky wicket.

My suspicion is that Kim et al are hacked off moderating and so they introduce auto censorship of bad words and are just killing controversial threads so as not to waste time later, this may also be the 'real' rationale for the lounge?

 

[Deleted User YDKXO]

Agreed, the moderation on this forum is a bit too nanny state for my liking
I wonder if we could get cyclotouriste interested in boating

Local sewage works

Sounds like a great idea. Then we can flog the idea to the BBC as a plot line for "Hustle"

yep we don't see endless bloody soltron posts from Depsol get chopped, only when we challenge some of the 'data' does the post get chopped hmmmm.......

Cyclotouriste - Kim - take note!

jeez, i wonderd why it was a bit quiet around here, that's fantastic! Now THAT'S why the f-word and more should be allowed! Real language being used with passion, fabulous!

But i am afraid it wdve defnitely definetely got pulled here - a big shame.

A suggestion

A suggestion, Rather than can an etire thread or postings to a thread, if Kim is worried about the content of a post then perhaps he could set the thread to be accessible by subscribed users and not anonymous ones...... in the T&Cs for the sign up for the login change the legals to make it CLEAR in bloody big letters that you agree that anyhting posted on a closed thread will not be fair game in a libel case.......

Re: A suggestion

yes I think thats a dam (can I use that word ??) good suggestion, gets round all the PC's and other needless rules and regulations.

Re: A suggestion

Nice idea but, as a legal indemnity, I suspect it would be about as effective at its job as a fishnet condom.

Cor blimey, he's a bit of a fruitcake isn't he? Or should I say Lounge Lizard?

Re: A suggestion

Or a swear button so that I could see what a users has posted and overide the auto censorship when I viewing posts, generally much more funny if the original anglo saxon is left in ....

 

[tcm]

swear buton

is somebody having a laugh with the replacement words? I mean, i fancy trying a load of words to see if "whoops a-daisy" is used. Ah-hem and Oh realy! are used all over the place.

Re: swear buton

How about using "bu gger that!" as a substitute

Re: swear buton
