Strange reaction

Strange reaction

This is ridiculous Sepp.... I was perfectly happy on here just like everyone else... Hand on heart other than ribbing have you witnessed a bloody thing on here that gets even close to law breaking?.... If you have then please point it out.

A tit has over reacted here .... And I'll wager they won't hold their hands up.

In fairness, with the little I know about the OSA theres quite a lot posted on here, including from myself, that potentially could cause problems going forward.

This has been discussed at length for a long time by all of the moderation team and closing these threads rather than the whole News and Current Affairs section was the decision made.

But in any case, if you believe it to be an overreaction or not, do you think it is right that JK even take that risk?

What risk ?.... Define it and we/I might understand....

You are not listening, Libs. This is not about us, the mods, sensitive souls, forum rules. It is about a stupid law - and yes, some of the stuff posted on here could break the law if seen by minors. That's all that matters even though I don't agree with the law. JK can"t do much about that. This law has put everyone on edge. And lawyers are making money.

leave the site owner exposed to the real possibility of fines or potentially time in prison.

I think we have to take this seriously so I understand. I need to get off the forum anyway, footy is upon us again thank god, taking my mind off this fucked up country. Cheers all !

Then it should be closed down completely and not be subject to conjecture and fear...

Yes, I am listening.

Are you going to pay for the risk assessment and legal advice? We are not legal experts on here - that is the problem.

No, if it's as precarious as you say then why risk it in the first place? Close it down unless you're only prepared to post politically correct bollocks....

We've all been flogging a dead horse for the last 20 years and all of a sudden the forums in mortal danger?

As MB said, all that remains is to post elsewhere until this sorts itself out. I am going to keep posting and will try to keep it on the right side of the law.

Although, if some of you do go on other politics forums, I think you are in for a surprise when you realise how lenient the mods were on here. They won't let you get away with half the stuff we could post in here.

Or, self police your words and use common sense. Some of us have been warning for a while that this was coming. Laws change - that's why the forum is now in danger.

Do you read the football sections?...... Matchday threads are sometimes like a free for all that you wouldn't want your kids reading. ( who've got better things to do to be fair)

I'm really surprised at you supporting ( sorry,worried about ) censorship but going along with it....

Do the football sections contain posts that could be construed as racist, intolerant of religion, hate speech, and any of the other -isms. Again, not our personal views but what the law says

In what way am I supporting censorship, libs?

You're defending it instead of telling it to piss off....

So, just because I don't agree with giving a football forum a hard time over it, I am defending it and encouraging censorship. Even though I have stated that I hate the act.

Has it crossed that I have a professional life outside this forum? You have absolutely no idea of what I have and have not being doing with respect to this act
