Good points mintcold, and isnt it nice we call all constructively discuss the clarifications, of not only the Site Rules, but the general behaviour of members on here, with anyone becoming abusive to staff.......except for the first DUH that posted in reply to my first post.

How do you give freedom, and someone abuse it? Freedom is unconditional, else, it's not a freedom, it's illusion. So, why even using that word, that doesn't match the description?

@cvrle77 --- You are absolutely right about freedom , but you left the part where abuse comes in ...

Sorry I dont agree with some of the points of Freedom of Speech.

This is not across the board in life. Some go too far sometimes and use that expression to further their own ends.

Let us not forget that when posting on the net, that all ops must follow the written rules of any site, as JGM has said, when posting. IMO those rules overrule any `Freedom of Speech`excuses and must be respected.

I started this thread as a discussion outlet to clarify that sometimes I have received conflicting different rules on different things on different staff and wished to clarify which is correct.

For example when one of my threads was deleted, I was told it was because I am not allowed to use the different colour fonts supplied on this site, and I replied saying I read the rules and couldnt see that I had broken any site rules by doing that. The reply was that this is an unwritten rule but will be added. That was months ago and that rule has not been added to the site rules.

The other reason I was confused was by the different instructions from staff about copyright rules. I am an ex sub editor for a newspaper and know the rules on that. What concerns me greatly is that copyright laws are being broken on here every day on many threads, which also include live links.

This is so dangerous for any site, every site knows that live links are a no no and C & P any reports, which breach copyright laws, wo giving credit to their original source may cause any site deep legal problems

Links to the original source must always be coded for the site`s protection.

Ladybbird is very angry today...another injustice and another of my threads deleted today without just cause.... the last one was one I spent months on,,, since January, investigating and helping so many of KWWH members on Filehosts

Why has my another of my threads been deleted today when I posted it 8 hrs before another member Posted His???

My thread posted earlier this afternoon Titled;

Finnish Court Rules Open WiFi Network Owner not Liable

yet 8 hours later Shareshiz posted something similar,, yet,, my thread was completely deleted and his not.

I respect ShareShiz & his reports, and I always check before I post any new News, to ensure that they have not already been posted,,but I really am fed up of threads being deleted without any good cause.

Even in the past ShareShiz was banned for no good reason....

I ask again,,why do staff on this site simply delete threads and ban members without good cause??? Maybe you do not realise... dear "Hard on the Mod Button Staff",,,
but this site is part of a group ownership of sites... it can be only be two staff that I think that are causing these probs & are causing damage to this site... I see that those Staff are not on staff on any other site within the same group...

I expect that this post of mine will be deleted and I may well be banned for my objections, but this is absolutely increditable that the group that owns this site is being damaged, by the bad Moderating of staff on this site, by their deleting so many threads/posts, and banning so many contributing members to this site.

I have C & P this post,,,just in case.....

I would consider those posts also a way to increase post count just for the sake of increasing post counts and contributing nothing.

Disable post counts in the intro. like every site does.

Your post was removed instead of ShareShiz because you edited your post after he posted his.

While I have no power in this or the news section I did research it so you have a explanation.

Do you really think it was necessary to bump a month old thread to complain though?

Post bumping is a rule in the general site rules also, just an FYI.


I also dispute your facts as I am seeing you made your post 47 minutes before Shiz then you edited your post 8 hours after you made it.
