Stive Pesley Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hahaha I've been on holiday for the past two weeks and not posted at all, then I come back to find this. All I can say is that it can't have been my fault I wasn't even here! I blame the rest of you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I often said, it's not a matter of personal opinion or taking personal offence, there are definitions in law regarding what it is acceptable to say, and these exist for good reason. Legislators are not a bunch of snowflakes who are offended by everything, they have the responsibility for defining the balance between freedom of expression, and freedom from harassment and discrimination.

Mostyn6 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 if I am not alone to mention age, how can I have my friendly joust with @eddie if I can't call him a doddering old bugger every now and then? It's how I show affection towards him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 On 01/09/2018 at 07:56, David said: Sex covers a wide range of issues/topics and to be honest we have always had a prohibited content rule in place: - Pornography, adult or mature content and discussions. This includes any kind of nudity, partial or full. So no, a cheeky one liner followed by a Ooh Matron meme will not see you get banned, although we or should I say I prefer them to be hidden behind innuendos than graphic one liners which will get hidden. Boycie strongly disagrees but terms and conditions mean little to him. This is a public forum and whilst we don’t promote it to younger viewers we are aware that people of all ages view the site which is why that rule is enforced on all sites that use advertising through Google. Members that have been on the forum for a few years will remember the barmaid. That one image which I posted almost got our advertising pulled and it contained no zero nudity, nothing more than you would see in a home catelogue....in fact you would see more in a Littlewoods than that image. That one image which became a bit of a meme led to hours of work scrambling all images on the database which is why when you look back at posts from 5 or so years ago links are not working. As I say though sex is much wider than just sexual intercourse and runs into LGBT and gender discussions which some people have very strong passionate views on, some of which can be seen as offensive, ignorant or at worst hateful to others. Whilst some will argue this is the perfect platform to air out those views and change attitudes, it really is an area which we do not feel capable with moderating. Establishing that line of what is acceptable to publicly post is extremely difficult when that line different behind each keyboard and monitor. I know this will upset some members and that’s not my intention or an indication of my personal views, it’s just an area which we don’t feel capable of moderating. Apologies for another long post, normal service will be resumed shortly. It’s impossible to moderate the kind of emotive debates that have gone on here without bias affecting decisions no matter how hard anybody may try to put personal opinion aside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
