I hate censorship but rules is rules and if I can say the same thing without breaking the rules then no biggy. Some of the Mods are a bit over zealous to say the least though and I wonder whether they all have the forums best interests in mind or whether they are just using their moderating powers to promote their own views and biassed opinion.

Forum Topic: Sov most Genuine housemate. I ask the Chavs on this forum, what so genuine about her? Answer A: "She just being herself?" My response to that is, "Who isn't being themselves?" So I delve, I wanna know why she the most genuine and I get this response, from some of the dumb fuks on this forum. Answer B: "Cos she is, OK!" My response to that should end in some profanity cos you deserve an insult or 2 for most stupidest uneducated answers of all time. Nothing wrong in having an opinion, but personally I like to talk about facts and if your opinions have no facts other than "It just is, OK!" or something similar then you gonna get ripped. |

It boils down to this:
Q. Do you own the site? A. If "No" you abide by whatever rules/procedures/decisions the site owners make and if you don't like them you leave. Couldn't be simpler could it? ;) |

Do members make this site what it is, HELL YES. Are members required for the sake of Advertiser to still Advertise on this site, I guess so. No members means Advertisers will not want to Advertise on this site. Power to the People. |

Clockers, what you are saying wouldn't work on the forum. People don't like getting attacked personally, and just respond in kind. Threads just end as argu-fests and there is little reasoned posts.

What do twelve and thirteen year old members bring to this forum? For the most part, with the odd exception here and there, they are far too overzelous and immature to be using forums. Especially this forum which is evidently not a family friendly forum. So then why bend over backwards to censor long term, older members in order to accomodate a very small group of people who come on once in a blue moon to make posts like 'i lik big bruv do u tink it shud stay?'. The moderating on this site is a lot less harsh than it used to be but I really don't see the need to censor swear words. If you censor the swear word, everyone reading it will know what your intention was anyway thus validating it as even more of a pointless exercise! The real problem with this site is blatant trolls and people who are clearly unfit to be browsing public forums, who are never going to contribute anything but trouble, not being banned yet. |

I am not attacking people personally, I just do not want to be restricted. I feel many of us with different opinions make this forum the way it is. There are crazy, nice, polite, humble, stupid, vile people on this forum and personally I would not want them gone, regardless of the difference in opinion. Also many of us like the banter, what is a forum without banter and taking the piss out of each other. We are all friends here, and probably after Sunday when the hoopla dies down I won't see you merchant bankers till the summer. http://janetalent.com/wp-content/upl...9/01/peace.jpg |

Why say a thousand words to get your point across when one picture can do it all. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3049/...0469b8e732.jpg |
We are lenient here..
Generally you can stay things.. but some people are too harsh remember you may be ripping into a 13 year old.. And anything personal, and insults directed at another member then obviously we will end up getting involved... |

It become impossible to refrain myself from cussing those people. They are putting a big target on their head saying "take the piss out of me" |

Compared to Digitl spy this forum is very lenient......On balance I think the mods get it mostly right considering it is a family forum like it or not......
I too hate censorship.......But who ever owns and runs a site it is their baby and their right to choose the balance they want..... I agree with comment with regard to the use of swear words. Censoring them with **** is pointless because the reader works out what the word is anyway and kids sadly these days swear worse than troopers......So such use of **** is in my opinion really really pointless. However swear words directed at members because you think their opinion is stupid is I think unacceptable.... What is stupid to one may sound sensible to another so personal insults with the use of bad language is really self arrogance..... Personal insults done diplomatically I see no wrong with if that is how another person comes across to you... I think it's a pity forums could not be split in to two ratings. Family and adult respectivly......The adult forum requiring age verification but posters allowed to say what ever they want at their own risk at being insulted and offended....... |
