    I'll ask someone neutral to look through this thread and count your posts here telling everyone what the mods and owner think

    No you've said there is no moderation which we all know isn't true

    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/forum-faqs

    Now please move along unless you wish to say you are right and the forum rules are wrong.......................you aren't fooling anyone

    My last post on this thread as you clearly don't want to engage in any actual debate other that go in your strange little circular argument.
    I have never said there is no moderation. I have said there are no moderators. Semantic difference but it does make a difference you clearly don't see.
    You can post as many excerpts from the rules as you want, but I haven't broken any of them here. You started the thread about the 'moderation' and 'censorship' of the forums. All the posts I have made have been about this subject, ie within the rules you posted.
    As that is the case, my pertinent point remains. Like it or leave. It's not yours or anyone else's to change, other than the owner.

    There is no debate to have with you. I posted this on the site feedback section for the forum staff. Someone has already pointed out the feedback section isn't for debating but you admit to pushing it.

    Which is the same thing as saying there is no moderation!. The quotes I've provided show there are moderators............

    And to be fair you've shown a lot of interest in the subject.........even suggested people should leave if they're not happy with being trolled and censored by a certain clique here.

    The fact stands more than ever in that something needs doing about the moderation, the current and new owner should be worried about this

    Once again you are trying to be a back-seat moderate and speaking for an owner that isn't here. The FACT remains there are terms and conditions which should be adhered to and this means people shouldn't be trying to censor certain topics with off-topic attacks....................please remember this the next time you try speaking for the mods and owner, I think we can guess you are one of those who doesn't wish to see criticism of the BBC or its Licence

    You're telling me that my opinion of the moderation is off topic in your thread about moderation? Doh! Nice work Stalin.

    The LAW has been stated to you, it says you only require a BBC TV Licence if you receive live feeds, the question is why do you wish to keep lying here?

    I'd be careful calling me a liar; that's potentially slanderous. What's more importanat though is your inability to see that I quoted the law; that;s the actual ACT OF PARLIAMENT; THE LAW !! You quoted some guidance, nothing more and nothing less. If you cannot see the difference then I suggest you go away for a while and have a good look at yourself in the mirror.

    You've even been given sources to prove this while you are all hear-say and trying to speak for the mods and owner, very suspicious. Your comments show yet again that the "moderation" here isn't carried out. It seems there are people who willingly accept the rules and others who just do as they like, real1314

    Whoop whoop! I'm working for the BBC, a pseudo-mod on here, and I fit it all in with my job as an international spy for the Illuminati. Watch out Safordian or I'll be down to Ordsall with a glock and silencer! :D

    :cool:

    We know what you are, your posts speak for themselves. These off-topic attacks are the reason for this thread and highlight the need for moderation because of people like you.

    Just stumbled across this and it's comedy gold - conspiracy theories, moderators that aren't moderators (but the OP can't seem to get their head around this) and a whole forum that's anti-BBC.

    In the words of Harry Hill (but not on the BBC) - there's only one way to settle this........FFFIIIGGGGHHHHTTTTT

    It's a fact and the proof is on the forum, hell even your unconstructive comment is breaking the rules.
    Keep threads on topic and boards running smoothly

    The fact remains certain individuals are getting TV Licence threads locked with off-topic and abusive comments. Now instead of the mods acting they just lock the threads, laziness in other words.

    Lets have a referendum on whether we should pay the TV license...

    ...But doing that would mean we lived in a democracy ;)

    It does prove the point about whats going on and the lack of moderation. Until these people start getting warnings etc they will continue to keep doing it. Obviously k3lvc/NiallB had a reason to post unconstructive comments rather than comment on the subject matter. Perhaps the truth really does hurt.

    What's the point in having these rules when people like this keep ignoring them and yet I'm betting they'd shout like hell if someone was doing this on a subject matter that interested them

    And the other 3 pages of utter carp are constructive ??

    At least people are discussing/debating/arguing, rather than posting silly images.
