Causus Deli - his life in your hands

Not at all....just had a thread edited by mods coz i think i mentioned Germaine Greer was a goer....lol

simply because if i allow that, 2 days later i'm deluged by posts involving donkeys. why do some folk insist on being allowed to wade through the gutter before they decide that the moderation is acceptable? there are paedophiles who would object to similar moderation. are their objections justifiable? if not, why are yours? are you the sole arbiter of moral judgement? grief! lol indeed....!

There's a level...yes but free speech is important - just feels a bit like the bible belt in here sometimes. My comment wasn't anything particularly shocking. Definitely no donkeys mentioned....yet...

I voted for a ban - not because of his views (however bad they are, people are entitled to them) but because we now know that he's not real...so there's very little point in having around anyway!

You can only have heated debates with people if you think they're real.

I dont think people should be allowed aliases though - it's very deceitful. You've got to have an element of trust on these things surely? Or am I just being a big girl?

p.s. hello ferret - learn all you can from Scotspine, he is wise like owl.

Sal you creep so sweetly.

I also agree that people should not have multiple ID's.
Unless of course they can generate multiple IP addresses
and then only if they are nice people

Free Speech is an oxymoron, since by definition, speech is anything *but* free, and always comes at a price.

The price being whether is is offensive to others, or not offensive.

Moderation serves a purpose, and that is to ensure the board does not constantly plumb the depths of offensive behaviour.

Ergo, it is a good thing, IMHO, and serves the majority well.

I accept that there will always be a minority who disapprove of moderation, and argue the right to free speech at any cost, but they seem to forget that there is no such thing as "rights" without "responsibilities".

Good work SP and Ferret. I run a WOW guild and we moderate Guild Chat to keep it reasonably clean and pleasant to be in. (No swearing for example).

This is to ensure that all members talk to each other with respect, and more importantly, to set boundaries for acceptable communication.

As such, we are one of the most social and successful guilds on our Server and have to limit membership, because simply, we're a safe and mature environment to play in. Even if guild chat does tend to veer off in to the surreal and bizarre (which is ofc encouraged)
