Close the thread by all means but don’t delete it.

Nah. Delete it.

On a side note it’s nice to see the mods take requests 🙄

i assume this is in reaction to the pole dancing nurse thread.

There was nothing explicit or erotic about that video. The censorship on this site has gone way too far.

It did tend to invite the ‘wrong sort’ of comment though which was probably why it went – trying to police that sort of thread must be a nightmare.

at least there was no swearing in the video….unlike the vids on the front page of the site 🙄

then ban the person making inapropriate posts on the thread

which was why i suggested close it but don’t delete it.

What is going on?
A little extreme isn’t it?

Wont somebody think of the children!?!

Moderation has gone stupid in the last week or so.

Hmmmm – I wonder if some company is looking to buy this site by any chance? Or if sponsors/advertisers are being told how whiter than white STW is?

No no of course not.

And now my thread has been deleted.

I articulate an opinion and zap.

Rubbish.

will Mark’s twitter account be policed – lots of (funny) swearing in those… ends up on my FB page, my kids could see the same kind of swearing freely permitted on mumsnet…. 😉

Ahem – and the swearing in the printed mag….

Well, they’ve done nothing about this thread which surprises me:

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-weeks-mini-movies-on-the-homepage

And they’ve still got the sweary vids on the homepage, which I complained about as double-standards to the mods, but they’ve not bothered to get back to me or do anything about it.

I get the reasoning for moderated language (I don’t agree with moderating it personally), but there was nothing wrong with that video. You’d see more flesh on show watching ‘strictly come dancing’ or athletics/swimming/gymnastics.

I thought it was a well shot video of a very dedicated athletic woman who was wearing just as much as any modern female athletes who appear on primetime tv.

Something is most definitely “up”

someone is most definitely up themselves

Are there any students free who could organise a protest outside STW headquarters!!

The mods need to remember the forum is nothing without it’s users. We don’t have to use this forum there are others!

I think the less said about what’s “up” , the better 🙂

I thought the STW team were pretty cool.

You know what thought did…

Well I’m not moving to Mumsnet.

Maybe Blue Peter are planning to advertise on here?

Except she was doing stuff that is normally paid for by tucking cash into her knickers. Just cos its done in black and white film doesn’t make any difference.
I’m no prude, but there is no difference between that and pole dancing in a gentlemens establishment.

We should move back over to evilzone.org they loved us over there

You’d see more flesh on show watching ‘strictly come dancing’ or athletics/swimming/gymnastics.

The test is whether I’d feel embarrassed watching it with my daughter, or mother in law. I’m not at all sure that I would be.

The pole-dancing video, that is. I’d be massively red-faced if anyone caught me watching Strictly B*******

I really don’t understand why people need to swear on this forum. Why are you so bothered? Can you not express yourself without swearing? Grow up.

Who made the inappropriate comments then?

Kits pointed out those vids already.
Fabien was being homophobic in another video on the front page recently… 😯

retro83 – they liked us so much they all decamped over to here for a bit to be with us 😉

I’m all for a bit of thought policing so I’ve reported this thread and ask that all users be banned for between 24 and 72 hours dependent on who I like the most 🙂

this coming from a man who effed and blinded for two miles going up the back of edale cross on the last wintery pootle 😉

YOU need to remember that it’s THEIR forum and they can do what they like. It isn’t a democracy, they want to run it in a particular way and I’m afraid you have to accept it. If you don’t like it then go elsewhere, maybe start your own forum?

maybe start your own forum?

Meh.

maybe start your own forum?

I was just thinking about this. I’d go power mad though 😆

Pook, sorry you’re wrong. I haven’t said a swear word since I decided not to about 8 years ago. No need to. I might have complained and moaned but there was no swearing.

I ****ING WELL DEMAND MY GOD-GIVEN ****ING RIGHT TO ****ING SWEAR ROBDOB, YOU ****!!!

NOW…. **** OFF!!!
