Sounds like I'm about to be made on offer I can't refuse
I'm not trying to offend anyone but most people on here are fully paid up members, proper grown up adults and yet sometimes freedom of speech is not always possible.

: :?: :?:Depends what you wrote. And if they have a raft of complaints or even just one that strongly disgrees with what has been written then they will remove it.
It is a swinging site after all.

: :?: :?:You are right - freedom of speech is not possible. If it was there would be no need for a site AUP or for Mods and Chatroom Ops.
You may not be trying to offend anyone, but calling us Thought Police is offensive as are the other names we recieve, such as Traffic Wardens and Nazzi's. It is not the words themselves that are offensive (I am sure that most traffic wardens are nice people) but the context in which they are used.
You used it in a derogatory manner to belittle the person that removed your post. Beware, as next time this Thought Policeman may not be so forgiving! :shock: :shock: :shock:

The Cafe
General discussion and chit-chat. Post anything here that is NOT a Meet Up or about Dogging. Use the sections below for those.
1, Re Splendid, There are always several 'live' threads that aren't swinging related.
2, Re Sg Bilko, All I posted was a poll asking about people's political persuasion. Poll's are anonymous and the category's were quite tongue in cheek not all stuffy and serious. If the thread had turned into a political slanging match with loads of bad blood then fair enough axe it. But the thread was taken straight down without being allowed to develop...............and why didn't you PM me if you had issues with what I've posted re the Thought Police comment?
Anyway, off to find a locked thread to nose around in

I was generalising and also talking about the one? thread that I have complained about and had taken off. It wasn't swinging related and I personally found it offensive. I was merely suggesting a possible reason why yours was pulled.

I've looked at your thread that was pulled, what does it matter how people vote, on a swingers site? Not a good idea for a thread, I reckon, particularly in the light of a number of threads becoming political lately.
If this has caused a discussion now, imagine how wrong it could have gone if it was allowed to run :eeek:
As for why Sarge hasn't pmmed you about the 'thought police comment, my own personal thoughts are that if you are prepared to make those comments in public, any one of the mods has a right to defend us in public
I have no idea what Sarge's opinion is
Anyway, I might lock this thread in a bit, purely because I haven't locked one in ages :giggle:
I think threads get locked mainly because they come off the topic, and result in an argument. Often instigated by outright offence and insult or under the disguise of debate but deliberately designed to generate a wind up.
Its is unfair to allow it to originate in the first place. This is something that posters should be sufficiently capable of avoiding. But unfortunately we all fall foul of temptation.
I think no thread needs to be locked as long as people stick to the subject and don't create or involve themselves in arguments which can veer towards breaking the aup.
So why does one suddenly become a problem debate when other similar debates can run without issue? It can seem like a fine line between keeping a topic open or locking it.
But most debates will come round again and some do work really well. Some have rolled off the list quite happily without incident, debated as much as was possible by the contributors and the 'mood' of the moment.

I suppose if a subject drifts so violently from what the thread is supposed to be about, or there are comments made which any reasonable person would class as offensive, then they are perfectly valid reasons for locking a thread.
Additionally, thread locks concerning ongoing court cases where the defendant is known, or any other topic concerning the personal security or reputation of someone also gives valid cause to locking a thread.
There are of course threads that are locked solely because the "locker" does not subscribe to the views that are espoused in the topic at hand, or perhaps that they lack the ability to see all sides of an argument.
In any event, whilst it may be annoying to have a thread pulled or locked - the only question that needs to be answered to justify it - is whether the "puller or locker" believed it was justified.
Whether in fact is was justified or not does not make a great deal of diffference. If it is matter that is thought to be of such great importance, then the author of the thread can start their own website where they are the creator of the rules.
Just my opinion - please feel free to delete it.

yerr but back to the ORIGINAL question...do peeps actively seek out locked threads cuz they nosy buggers like me...tis a simple question n yet its now seems to followin the lines of why a thread gets locked (mods involved n everything) I didnt mean this to turn into a debate on why threads get locked n why such n such-a-body's was locked,
it was a light hearted question at the end of a long boring night ending in me zipping round the forums, n finding my only fun in reading locked items from eon's ago. However i can now see how easily a simple thread can be turned into something it aint.

Perhaps politics has more relevance than we thought:
