Oh, so this is the Iraqi forum now....? (Or the labour party conference)

Oh dear. :roll:
In the UK there is NO RIGHT of free speech - there never has been.
And if I'm honest the kinds of attitudes expressed when moderation has to raise its head are frankly dissapointing. A decison was made. It may contested, but why do it publicly where current outbursts are doing the discussion no favours?
I don't want a flame war, I don't want insults and even conflict makes me sick, but folk are insisting on using very volatile language and attitudes. Hostility is not a good look.
I fully support the actions of those involved within this moderation issue.
Shame others cannot
cheers

Oh for goodness sake, grow up.

Grow up? Maybe you should visit some of the coutries where they do not have free speech? This I actually find quote offensive!

On this forum, actually they do. It's their backsides on the line if ever anything went legal, not yours.
Just accept their decisions (and reasons behind them) and get on with it. Please!!

Okay, I'll tell you about <Name Removed> where they started off like this, then moved on to editing posts that they did not like, and even posting modified comments by people in an effort to make them look bad.
You all enjoy the right to offroad, and no-one wants to see that taken away... but you are happy for the mods to take away members rights just like that and without a fight... Maybe the government should just close all byways to motorised transport, and say "Tuff Doo Dahs" to anyone that opposes them....
Pretty hypocritical!
I'll fight for what I believe in.... That includes the use of "Green Lanes" and the right to free speech.

To quote from Mike's post : "what i now want to no is every1's opinion on me being on probation,if you think its apt say so,if not say so aswell,"

I don't know what he did (and don't want too), I don't get offended by bad language (in moderation), and would have definately voted for a 'STAY' as I suspect most others would.
With a huge vote for a stay this would put pressure on the moderators to restore his 'status' sooner (I'm sure it will come back with time), and this would then make a mokery of the system.
Just imagine if a car theif was put on probation after their offense, if they raised a petition of enough names - should we let them off?
He has been 'downgraded' RATHER THAN THROWN OUT for posting offensive material which is against Mud-Club rules, if he doesn't feel that this is correct or justified I gather he can communicate with the moderators via PM or email etc.
He knows what he has done, and so do the moderators, WE DON'T, lets just hope that this all sorts itself out soon, AND STOP BICKERING.
AREN'T WE HERE TO TALK ABOUT MUD?
