Censorship of the forum? What Next? - Page 2 - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

My view is that a forum gets into sticky waters when have a particular retailer/luvvy stickied on front page and associated.

This will always make difficult decisions for mods is luvvy is criticised. I think it was particularly poor decision to close a thread then allow a luvvy to post onto it while closed - right or wrong on facts, it just looks hopelessly wrong.

My 2p worth!

It is precisely a forum issue because Lincsat on sticky - please state your enorsements and financial connections to make this arrangement transparent.

Not relevant. Any member can be on a Sticky.

Techwatch does not sell anything, and I have no financial connection with the arrangement whatsoever. I am a member on here purely for hobby and interest reasons alone.

Don't make me giggle - so anybody can sticky a shop to page 1?! Ooooooooooh er, no ebay insertion fees! Super, so issues threads will start about page 3 after all the shops. Think before type super mod!

That is not what you said. You should try to write more clearly.

OK, I will re-open the original thread for now so the original poster can substantiate his allegation.

There is no censorship on the forum, but unfounded allegations against various traders and ebay sellers have been removed in the past. A forum is not the place to make unfounded allegations against anyone, even if they are a member of staff, forum sponsor or just a member.

YEP nothing to do with the board AT all, most boards have rules saying that any for sale items is a contract with buyer and seller nothing to do with the hosting !

stop moaning and as we all said, its all here to help each other. The person who started to post should be a man and email and call about a problem and not air his/her views unless his complaint was not sorted

Robbo · 11-11-08, 05:03 PM

Sounds a surefire winner - close the book on someone hours ago then re-open hours later when they've probably given up on it as a biased cause. Good job - fairness has been the winner here I see, hhahahahahahahahahahahaha
