Don't let Mud-Club go the pay <Name Removed> went!

Well, just to stick my oar in...
I was also surprised that the thread was locked - not at first, but then when I thought about it, I could see that some people might not like it. So I agree there was room for controversy there.
However, the biggest threat to the survival of mud-club won't be the odd member getting narked here and there - it'll be when the moderators think, why should we put up with this abuse, and decide to stop wasting their time and go and do something more rewarding instead.
I once had a post moderated out for irrelevance (it certainly wasn't abusive / offensive so that's the only reason I can think of). It mildly irked me, but I thought I'd rather put up with it and accept that occasionally things might happen which I'm not keen on, than make a big fuss and irritate people.

Listen to yourselves! Christ you all sound like MP's debating.
Grow up everyone, if you dont want your kids to see or read anything they shouldnt, get some parental controlls on your PC! SORTED!
And as for MC in general yes I agree the site admin about having to be careful about what goes up on the site and they do a good job, but at the cost of getting a reputation of being a PC club. I have noticed other forums mention MC becoming to PC, and if you look at MC a year ago it wasnt that bad as far as PC goes.
So lets call a spade a spade here MC is getting to PC, no has now become PC, and you wonder why its gets quiet somtimes? Why are MC members flocking to other clubs, Ooooo go figure!
And god forgive anyone who says anything bad about landys, especialy if your not an owner, they will hang you for it or send you to Covenrty in most cases I see.
So dont give us "Oooo your bad cause you told a naughty joke, or Noooooo you cant link to that image as some ladies/children/cats/dogs or anyone else may get upset, or my 5yr old might be offended! And we cant mention xmas as it will upset our muslim bros, and all that other ridicules PC stuff that sadly has now woven itself into MC, cause is all rubbish!
Get back into the real world guys, isnt this is a club for mud, not for whining and winging on about saying somthing rude! :shock:
We are all meant to be adults here, and look at us throwing our toys about!
And for gods sake get some parental controll on your puters, or get some parental controls on your kids! :D
Whats the betting Im gonna get a slapped wrist for speaking my mind! :D

No we're not, that's the point entirely! It's supposed to be a family club. If you want a club aimed at over-18s, there are plenty of others - nobody will be upset or annoyed if you leave.

No, but you've just been guilty of doing exactly what you were complaining about, moaning and whingeing! :wink:
I also think you're overstating the PC thing a bit here. I don't remember any thread saying we can't talk about Christmas in case we upset Muslims. :?

Well, you clearly have missed a lot of the point of this thread if you think that... it has been nothing *but* people speaking their minds.
I think issues of being 'PC' are unrelated to this particular subject, but it is an interesting subject anyway.
You speak about being PC as if it is something inherantly evil. Whilst I don't agree with some of the over-compensation that goes on, especially in the tabloid press, I also believe that there is nothing wrong with having a bit of respect for other people's beliefs and convictions. If something I say is personally offensive or incites negative feelings in others, then I have to take that on board and possibly temper some of the things I say.
I've never been one for using racial stereotypes, for using slang terms for gay people, or people with different backgrounds to me... because I don't think it is necessary or helpful... does that make me "too PC"... well, I don't think so.
Respect is the key issue in what people have chosen to call 'PC'.. and I'll campaign for that.
