Towton Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Many posts, including the riot megathread, have gone? Are we supposed to ignore the current issues worrying us? Yet the admin allow talk about race or the right-wing 'parties'? There are developments each day, such as vigilantes taking to the Capital's streets (genuine people/EDL idiots hijacking it) should we not even discuss them, then?

Womerry2 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 No, we should not. There is nothing to be gained from stirring things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimba Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Burying the head in the sand about things is whats got us where we are. People will talk about it anyhow, even if its not on here, the thing is there is more regulation of it possible on here than most places so will keep things a little calmer if people can vent it here. A lot of peeps I know want to vent there feelings of this rioting on the streets, would that be better ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 At least have a "sticky" explaining why it ca't be talked about. It's the biggest public forum in the country and yet the biggest news story can't be talked about and no reason given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well if you beleive half of what people put on facebook etc, there were riots all over town yesterday, including rioters trying to trash a bar at 2am this morning (and that was from the staff - which also proved to be garbage) There are some people which will try to use sites like this to stir up trouble...

Womerry2 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Refusing to join in the mass hysteria about this is not burying the head in the sand. There is quite enough "venting" going on already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towton Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Exactly, we aren't trusted to debate hot news rationally and calmly? At least allow one thread and moderate it? Otherwise it's repression on one topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arguendo Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Personal agendas by certain individuals; discussions tend to be muted depending on the personal feelings/opinions, the usual response you get, not directly quoting but something on the lines of; SF is a family friendly forum & as such discussions have to adhere to specific rules, or the site is privately owned therefore you are only invited to chat according to the rules of the owner. The statements tend to follow the lines of the aforementioned, freedom of expression or speech is not a process certain members of SF like if it doesn't conform to their beliefs or opinions. In fact I believe this thread will be removed shortly, as questioning the running of the forum is a cardinal sin, in which SF members will be temporally banned by SF bullies.
