KeymasterPosts are not being pre-vetted on this forum, in fact it's not technically possible the way the software is currently set up.Comments are immediately visible to the public.What Moderator 1's post above is referring to is correction of spelling.

KeymasterComrades, this thread is supposed to be about the Brixton Hill election. Any other topics can be discussed by starting a new topic.

KeymasterWith all due respect "end of story" means something like "that is the end of the story, I will say no more". I don't see how that is a threat. However if anyone took it to be so I apologise.Now this thread is actually about censorship in a socialist society and a socialist organisation. Please can all comments return back to the subject.

I refer to the obscenities in post #30. Are there double standards here? Why are some members allowed to do this?There is no ban on obscenities. If you think such words should be censored you are free to bring a resolution to conference via your branch.

Are you not guilty of the same thing? if not, why not.Steve,I am not the moderator of Spintcom nor Spopen so I am not in control of what goes on there. However if I recall correctly, without spending ages going through my emails, you appealed against being placed on moderation because of this and the Internet Department, of which I am a part, decided to uphold your appeal.It is my opinion that putting individual words or a few words in CAPS or bold isn't the same thing as shouting and therefore is not against any of the rules. A whole post or most of a post in capitals may count as shouting but it would depend on the content and context.There are no rules banning the use of swear words either.That aside, this constant petty harassment has got to stop!When I set up this website and forum it was democratically decided that it would be moderated, as there where no volunteers forthcoming (funny that) I took up the role by defacto due to the fact that I am in charge of the inner workings of the website.Now in the last couple of months or so, from a couple of comrades probably old enough to be my father, I've been called a "prick", been told to resign or be expelled from the party. Why? For trying to prevent other comrades from having a slanging match with each other!Instead of bringing this up at every opportunity and boring everyone silly this is the first time I publicly mentioned it. Why? Because there are more important things we should be doing than wasting our time on useless ego stroking and wallowing in gutter crap.So, to the question of whether or not our lists and forums should be moderated… Unfortunately for me the answer is yes as it seems that users can't control themselves, these past weeks have confirmed it more.What bearing does this have on a socialist society? Absolutely none. There's no reason why common ownership precludes chaired meetings, refereed football matches or moderated forums. Or conversely, no reason why chaired meetings, refereed football matches or moderated forums would preclude common ownership.If members don't like the fact that the forum and lists are moderated they are free to change it using branch resolutions sent to conference.This topic reads like one that might have been interesting 15 years or more ago…

KeymasterOGW now has posting rights restored on the understanding that use of the forum implies acceptance of the rules.

KeymasterI have made some improvements to how pages load for anonymous users. If you log out and view the archive page you should find it loads in relatively no time.
PJShannon
KeymasterI can confirm that no-one has been suspended indefinitely. A full report will be issued from the internet department in due time.
PJShannon
KeymasterI don't understand what you're asking me. The functionality you have highlighted is not yet up and running.
