--- Quote from: "EvilEd" ---But you've locked this thread for NO REASON, is there a link, or are there expletives? no, so your reasons for this are non existent in this context.
I have not seen or looked for the "Other Threads". my point is that you have locked this particular thread in a heavy handed gesture that is wrong and unsupportable with your terms and conditions. This is vindictive and promotes a bad view of the club. I think you should put your hands up and admit that there is nothing wrong with this particular post and let it run its course. I agree completely with removing bad language and links to dodgy sites, but neither of these apply to this particular thread.. you have "Hung" him for his previous record and not on the merits of that post which is completely in line with your terms and conditions.

It is not as much because of profanity in this post, Ed, but because he is making public a private matter between himself and the moderators.
Don't take me wrong, I personally think we are being a bit prudish with the moderation, but it is not for me to decide what can and cannot be posted. That is, ultimately, a matter for the webmaster to decide, and the moderators to enforce.
BTW, Jim-willy. You have caused an incredible ammount of offence between the radical feminists in this forum :lol: :lol: :lol:

--- Quote from: "EvilEd" ---Stinks of censorship.... it's the ruin of clubs like this... Sort it out moderators... dunno what this guy did, or what he said, but I am already on his side because he has lost the right of free speech.... It's not the way to run a club!

No, you don't know what he did... nor am I going to make a public issue of it.
He has not lost his right to free speech... he still has a forum account and is still posting helpful and useful content
If we had wanted to exercise our 'draconian cencosrship', we would have just deleted the post... we didn't.

You may not need someone to look after you, but as has been stated, there are more age groups and types of people who use this site than the over 18, un-offendable male... and we have a responsibility to 'look after' some of those people.
--- Quote from: "EvilEd" ---If you see fit to delete this, then delete my account as well! Can't be doing with another site going down the pan for censorship... next you'll start editing posts so that they say what you want them to say, that's what happened on POKUC and is why PajeroUK now exists

The moderating team on Mud-Club does, I believe, an excellent job. They have a very straighforward set of guidlines which disallow obscenity and legally questionable material, they also must take into account specific issues from other members who find posted content offensive. This is by no means an easy job, and I applaud and support them wholheartedly in the work they do. If you want to see a forum go down the pan very quickly, take away the hard work the moderating team carries out, or take away their powers to bring to book people who choose not to respect their requests.
I will re-state what I originally stated. Mike's contribution to the forum is valuable and welcomed. If he continues to post within the forum guidelines then we very much want him to stay a part of the club, and he will be taken off probation in the near future.
Bob696:
Different target audience. I am happy with the moderation that does occur.
I have been asked to stop something once and I was happy to oblige as the request 'fitted in'.
On another board I had a thread deleted, no warnings just gone as is the habit of that board. I dont go there much.
On the other extream is ORRPA (moderators feel free to delete the name if you want). Anything seems to go and it is simply not my cup of tea. Others love it it and I can see why, it has its place but I dont feel comfortable there.
The plus side is that I can read the M/C forum at work (if I get a chance). I cant get onto the less family orientated sites :shock:

Got to agree with some of the comments later on here.
We've all agreed to abide by a particular code of conduct. Go beyond it and the Mods will have a duty to do something.
Thats life. Many, many folk have over stepped the mark and most have just said 'okay, live and learn'.
Mud-Club is a moderated forum - and all the better for it. Other forums are less moderated and get far, far more trouble and flaming than we do. And personally, I'm glad we don't allow adult postings, anti-semitism, homophobia, nationalism and whole host of other social scourges to have 'free speech' on this forum. THAT is what makes Mud-Club what it is. Fun, friendly, free, respectfull. See how I added that last bit in - I'm good, me!
It's a bit like going to the pub. Some pubs cater for a quiet few beers and amusing banter. They sell pork scratching and probably have a doms team. Other pubs are dead quiet during the week but come alive on the weekend as people swill as much affordable lager as possible before hitting:
a) a night club
b) the floor in a drunken stupor, or
c) some lad what wa looking at your lass funny, like.
Now, as a responsible parent, which pub would take your kids into?
As Mod, I feel we have a duty to keep it fun and friendly. Can't blame us for that really, can you? :wink:
cheers
