restrictions on forums doin my nut in

Dogmaan · April 26th, 2005

Is it me or are there to many restrictions on what u can openly talk about in forums i was kicked recently for talking about chav culture i got told it was "racist" eh?????. has it always been like this!? (and are chavs a seperate race?)

For everyone who isn't a brit/irish chav a == "trailer trash".

Hehe no offense, but you choice of title is a tad misleading. For a minute there I thought this was going to be a complaint about us.

Anyways, different sites have different tolerance levels. I guess that's why it is usually best to check out things first before blindly going for the post button. As for us, well we do have race rules here too, but I'm not sure that could be classed as a race or not. But it is a derogatory term. If it had occured here I guess it would have depended on the context in which it was used.

it didnt occur here i was just after a discussion about forums in general the internet shouldnt be a place to heavily sensor light subjects as soon as someone says warez or ethnic minorities everyone goes oh my god u cant say that DO NOT TALK ABOUT WAREZ OR ETHNIC MINORITIES ive never requested warez im not stupid enough i know how and where to get things myself, dont u wince when someone mentions warez, why? i love forums but the moderator censorship bugs me surely most of us can self censor if anyone asks for warez we can simply say "sorry mate thats illegal" not shout down there neck.

Usually religious debates are stopped here, and politics too. Anything else, well, only if it gets quite discriminating and/or really REALLY off-topic. Which i excel at

I still haven't been able to get myself banned here. Guess i'm not enough juarez kiddie

There's nothing wrong with talking about minorities, just as long as you don't talk **** about them and bash em

I mean, there's nothing wrong with talking about personal experiences with certain ethnic groups, but keep in mind that examples aren't proof of a whole community being bad.

The only thing about censorship that frustrated me is that you can't write n a z i without it getting ****.
