i did try but its a needle in haystack stuff>>>>>>i did find little boy blue though and 2 my shock i caught him blowing his horn....dirty little boy......wasn't even wearing socks
 
so what was said........that doesn't include the following definition

free speech
Dictionary result for free speech
noun
noun: free speech
  1. the right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint.

1....censorship is rife on this forum
2....does a ban consist of restraint>>>>>>>methinks it does


Look aber pal - it was nothing to do with free speech.

Not sure if sheep shagging is illegal unless you're an animal rights activist, but what he accused them of certainly was. There was no need for him to go down that road and persist with it. He was pulled up about it, his posts were initially edited and then deleted but he wouldn't let go eventually involving me.

He was banned from that forum rather than just warned despite my efforts and that was as far as it should have gone.

What happened subsequently could well have been as a result of reported complaints to the Super Mods but I have no certain knowledge of that. Suffice to say he was then given a forum-wide ban and that's when I took the flak in criticising that action and got it in the neck from on high for my efforts.

I got banned from that board for my rant at the Supers - one in particular who realy pissed me off. I'm allowed back on there now and have since explained my point of view on it but have had no feedback.

It seems to have calmed down a bit now and the only one who is suffering is Turk - hence my offer to request his reinstatement. This thread was to inform him. I didn't intend it to be an open discussion about forum moderation and would much prefer it not to be.

Opinions are like arseholes - we've all got one, but sometimes it needs to be allowed to drop in the interests of everyone..

as a forum surely open discussion is its life blood and when it comes 2 banning members then surely that should be discussed and not brushed under the carpet............hence the reason not just myself has commented, what i read was tit for tat yes it wasn't nice what he said but come on surely the leeds fans can man up ffs

OTT

Mixing my metaphors Sparkey, but this is 20-20 hindsight, after the horse has bolted.

You should have closed the thread as soon as you posted it.<doh>

That's a very decent shout remote, but then I'm not a mod who needs to mod all the time - cue the "Vicar".....<laugh> :emoticon-0105-wink:

There is nothing wrong with opinions being expressed about it and closing the thread would only prevent the free speech that aber is supporting on here.

Seems lke I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one - sometimes I wish I hadn't got involved in the first place but what are you supposed to do when a member asks for help?

No probs aber - I usually have a fair bit of patience pal, but then I don't make the rules up on here otherwise I wouldn't have needed to post this thread in the first place. <ok>
 
masky with me being from Aberdare im 2 nosey not 2 get involved......but yeah political correctness is not my thing that's a Zionist agenda>>>>>an agenda the regular so called normal people kinda like the taste of and lap it up giving up freedoms left right and centre in the process>>>>>>>>like i say once they are gone you will never get them back and i for one don't wanna be part of the generation that gave them away.

Sparky if anyone needs banning its the Leeds forum moderator. I really hope he hasnt going crying to you after a post of his recently on that board.

Dont know what Turks done or whether he deserves a ban but he needs to look at himself with his so called humour.

Sorry guys - I must be a bit thick here - what forum are we even talking about for this Leed's mod's comment?

Signing off for tonight - will look in in the morning. <ok>

I haven’t a clue dude but it would be interesting seeing if it amounts to an incredible piece of hypocrisy by the mods again
