I have just gotten onto the end of a post putting my two pence worth in - nothing controversial - just a comment concerning racism of what is and what is not racism :roll: ................and it is taken down. It would seem that we are not allowed to talk about it :shock:.

Surely it is time for a statement from the Site owners/moderators.

all web forums do it they have to otherwise they could land themselves in court or get shut down the vast majority is allowed but some things would need to be removed

The question I would ask you is this which would you rather this forum continues providing a welath of information and lots of banter or we lose it all together along with the databases of court cases and all the other useful info

I fully understand what you are saying! In this instance there was no reason to pull it.

If that is the case then fair play, you and I both know that wasn't the case in this instant, it's simply someones vanity got challenged, a little explore through the realms of Google shows this to have been the case many times before on here, hence why I like to save certain threads for my own reviewing later.

Looks like the work of a MarKist to me. =D> :-$

If we cant express ourselves freely then whats the point of such forums, If the Forum administrators live in fear of being wrongly prosecuted for something that a forum member submits then the forum is on the slippery slope to becoming mundane and uninteresting.

Would it not be better to let people have their say and then if they over step the mark they can then place the blame firmly at the person who submitted it.

Seems a tad late now after all the deeply personal and malicious Mud flinging that's being going on in a certain section on TDO to be cracking the whip..

Nice as it is to be a member of TDO its not the be all and end all of life as we know it.

Perhaps the way forward is for the site to have a disclaimer statement similar to the newspapers, for when readers are allowed to comment via their own forums.

Threats to admin and the site means Mr Doom will be gone forever.

If he wants to play the hacker then so be it.
