    Is this acceptable?

    'If I got really sick of you *****, I wouldn't even have to ask for you to be banned. I'd just start deleting all your threads and comments.'


    Do/should mod powers allow for this?

    They're allowed to delete what they want and then give some form of justification. Happens now and again on the horse racing board.

    I understand the need for mods and accept that. I also accept that justification for taking an action is good

    however this seems to be just a show of authority, threat even. Surely if you disagree with something you shouldnt/cant delete it? as long is it doesnt break the rules?

    Sorry fan, but any freedom of speech argument you make is void as soon as you make it.

    You believe in a religion that doesn't believe in freedom of speech, so don't preach freedom of speech ideals.

    We've been told action will be taken on the horse racing board if everyone starts the constant bickering that was a feature on the old BBC 606 or making seriously dodgy comments about trainers, owners, jockeys etc. etc. I think the general jist is that they want to keep a happy ship - i don't necessarily agree with that but that's just the way some of them are.

    In any case -I thought all Jip was saying was that he wouldn't ban you as, evben if he wanted to, he had other powers that meant he wouldn't need to - i very much doubt he'd start deleting comments.

    Freedom of speach within the confines of the rules is what I am talking about, so in line with my religious beliefs

    I dont think it is acceptable to have complete freedom of speach, and its obvious this forum doesnt allow it. Kind a fits my belief if I am honest

    TBH I dont think that was what he was saying.

    As i said I do accept that certain rules need to be in place, and you will see that i have often defended the likes of Syd when they get stick.

    Freedom of speech is complete freedom or it isn't freedom at all, it can't be half and half.

    I'm not gonna argue with you because I'll take in nothing you say and you'll take in nothing I say.

    sorry pal, but its never complete freedom. whether it speach or other freedoms they all carry cut off points
    Its the unfairness of the cut off points that sparks debate

    eg you cant say the N word in certain contexts, or paint yourself greeen and run naked down the high street

    is it right though?

    are you guys not supposed to be unbiased? Just because you have an argument with someone is that justification to bring it into ALL threads?

    I think 'grown ups' should be given the mod role.
