  • Do you really need to go to a Police Office? Where in the UK are you talking about? Are the laws different dependant on where you live? ~Scotland, NI, Wales...or the rest?

    Welsh laws are the same as English.

    I think you'll find MSE heavily makes the point that the forums are not moderated. Go read what they say about it please and come back when you are more informed

    Got a link?

    They delete certain posts, edit others and suspend or ban people depending on the severity of their offence.

    It sounds like moderation to me.

    I don't really care if MSE doesn't consider that moderation, virtually every other site on the internet does.

    Yet another quote gone wrong!


    You are a long time member...go back and read the terms you signed up to. It's made perfectly clear that this site is not moderated for legal reasons. You may think it is...but you would be wrong.

    Happy now?

    The reason why the quote went wrong was I quoted your (incorrectly) quoted post directly.

    People in glass houses etc.

    Can you quote anything that says its unmoderated?

    I don't know but when it comes to crime England and Wales have the same legal system.

    MSE will never use the word 'moderated' for a legal reason. Hence they use Board Guides instead of Moderators...have you not wondered why? There are no moderators on MSE end of!

    Are you 100% sure on that?

    I'm thinking the quote function is fooked! LOL!

    No, maybe it's user error. ;)

    If you include pressing the supplied quote button in that I do agree!
    Yes, definitely user error.
    The 'user' foxtrotoscar emboldened too much of the quote.

    See here:

    I did smile when I subsequently read:
    It irks me when people do not read their own posts and realise the glaring typos they have posted...especially when they are complaining about others making mistakes!
    :D
