What are you frightened of if a few posters seem to have an issue with Douglas Corporation? Deleting content is poor form and makes it look like you’re scared of what’s been said being read. I think you missed the fundamental point that Amadeus and I are on totally opposite sides in this DBC debate. I just used the wrong gun on Burnsy...should have just been the water pistol to cool him down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Helmut Fromage Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Years of respect being flushed away @Gladysreally please step away from the keyboard. Genuinely please take time out a once respected voice of rationale and stubborn disagreement with humour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you may not know is that most of these accounts is/was one individual who was banned ages ago and has a history of coming back with new usernames and multiple personas to continue his abusive posting activity. We can see email addresses, IPs and other things behind the scenes to come to that conclusion. I think you will see by looking through this and other threads that I do not delete content or ban people because they say unpleasant things about me or DBC. Time and time again am I on record as defending this place and saying it needs to exist as anonymous outlet even if it means people have a go at me over stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re deleting comments off a forum you control that show DBC in a negative light. Banning posters is one thing but you’re literally actively deleting posts you don’t like. That’s editing which means you’re actively driving the forum content. It’s not a good look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You yourself could have multiple accounts on here and nobody would be any the wiser. What are you frightened off? Hardly any of the posts were offensive (not that I can see them now to check) that I could see. They were simply accusing the corporation of being arrogant and manipulating the event they put on to try to make themselves look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriT Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just now, Albert Tatlock said: That was not the intention, honestly. It’s how it looks 100%, are you scared of letting posters have free speech to say that DBC aren’t very good when one of your moderators is clearly on DBC? I can’t recall many of the posts being offensive enough to be deleted to be honest. This really makes the forum admins look scared of negative feedback that pins to them or their mates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is that we get flagged when we get reported posts...unless you refresh all the time you can miss a lot of those posts. 6 members flagged posts....neither of whom were Amadeus or John W.

THEY were/are one individual who has been posting abuse on here for years. Ask others about newsnight/TJ/any of the other usernames. I don't have the patience to explain it again especially as you won't believe me anyway by the look of things. Let others tell you about this person. The posts by this individual should also be visible again now but the accounts are banned and future ones will be banned again too as the person is only here to post abuse and not a genuine user. Albert did hit the spam button by mistake which automatically hides all content by a user but I'm starting to think that might not actually be a bad move for future accounts created by this individual. Maybe it would finally discourage this behaviour for good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me people are simply making stuff up to justify things that look very unseemly indeed. Deleting peoples posts just because they don’t like what’s being said about people they work with is censorship pure and simple. You wouldn’t even see that in Facebook or Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my action...and I am on the opposite side to Amadeus on this debate...even turning up at the meeting. So...no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
