Just been on the electric uk forum and posted about dolls and it's still there, either the mods are still laughing or it's ok
No - it's gone now.
noodlz - your experience is very typical. I can see why the mods might want to not get into arguments with people about their actions, but it's intensely annoying, I know, to have any questioning, let alone criticism, of their actions just deleted, in order to simply stifle any dissent.
But then it's also annoying when they leave posts alone, and don't respond, as has happened every time I've questioned the loony censorship of words which are not obscene.
Maybe we should petition for an "Adult chat" forum here, which requires an extra level of registration in the form of a credit card number to prove adult status, which is not charged, or which is only charged a nominal amount to cover the costs of verification. Then all those who want to engage in a bit of risqué banter could do so without offending the general mass of readers.
I'm not talking about turning it into a porn site (sorry, Moz
) - just the sort of chat that's been going on over the past few days.
Who'd be up for that?
