MSE Censorship

DaveTheMus

Is anyone else sick of the inconsistent way that the site is 'policed' and the arbitrary punishments handed out?

I know I am.

I've received a 'yellow card' because I started a thread about the Germany's hypocrisy and I was a bit clumsy with my wording by saying 'Germans' instead of 'Germany' in a non-complimentary sentence, a simple mistake and the thread has been deleted.

Out of curiosity how do you know when you have got a "yellow card"?

Thanks just wondered, I do forget to see if I have any messages here from time to time.

MSE site and I guess they can police it whatever way they want.

Hi!

Each reported post is looked at and dealt with by the team as they feel appropriate depending on the post's content. If you don't feel the yellow card is appropriate despite the explanation you've received you can pop an email to forumteam @ moneysavingexpert.com to ask but if the yellow card was explanatory ie you recieved a reason already you may not get a reply.
