Moonbird Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 May be a sticky at the top of each section would help remind members that the forum as rules, somewhere that for now I can't find. Have a look through this it will explain all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 There is a link at the bottom of every page that says "Terms of Use & Rules" or the link at the left hand side of every page that says "Help & Contact us" Why would people read a sticky note when they don't read these ? Found it thanks. Because it would be at the top which is where people usually start reading, I never go to the bottom because when I get to the last post I press the next number so I can continue reading the posts.

Ian Dome Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Having looked at your deleted thread, I know exactly why it was removed and as Sibon has already said if you read the rules you'd know as well, but if you want the thread reinstated then the Helpdesk is the place to ask and discuss the reasons for removal, though in this case I'd be surprised if it that happened. Thanks for your detailed post, i appreciate it, but pretty please, can you give me a clue?

Ian Dome Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 He/she has views and is allowed to voice them. A lot of people agree with what he/she is saying. I have never seen a post where he/she insults someone, which is quite respectful or can you send me a link where she has personally insulted a poster? Where did i suggest i was being insulted? I'm a big boy, i can handle it, and would never report somebody just for insulting me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbird Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Thanks for your detailed post, i appreciate it, but pretty please, can you give me a clue?

esme Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Thanks for your detailed post, i appreciate it, but pretty please, can you give me a clue?evidently you missed this bit of my reply...Moderators are not allowed to discuss specific moderation issues in thread or via PM's, that's what the helpdesk is for, so asking a moderator to explain their decision in a forum will result in being directed to the helpdesk...

Ian Dome Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Moonbird, no that did not apply. I only posted an interesting news article. I'll contact the helpdesk. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I posted a thread yesterday, it vanished in 2 minutes. It was just an article on Saudi Arabia believing Iran to be the biggest threat in the M.E, very inoffensive, no sarcastic remarks, just a quote from an article. I have already asked why it was removed. I know why it was removed, but cannot prove anything as i have no mod powers. A neutral mod could confirm it (if they would be so kind) I think CXC3000 just reports threads he doesn't like to silence the opposition, and i believe someone with moderating powers does was he asks. It would explain why certain threads get closed, yet most of his remain. That is easy enough to check - check his threads vs his oppositions threads. A thread doesn't get closed, or a post removed just because someone has reported it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think stuff on the General Forum tends to go in phases. Sometimes we have a lot of threads blaming everything on Muslims. Sometimes we have a lot of threads blaming everything on the Jews / Zionists / Israel. Sometimes we have had a lot of threads about conspiracy theories. Sometimes it all goes quiet.

Suffragette1 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 While I don't think that they have any 'rights' as such, I would go further. I demand that abhorrent views be heard. How are we to know what is abhorrent if we pretend that these people and their opinions don't exist? Sunlight is a tremendous disinfectant and time after time we see that exposure to it lets people see what's proper. Ok, I agree with you. The McCarthyism of those who voice concerns about Islamism should stop, as should tarring all those who dare with the 'racist' brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
