General Chat Forum

Should a free-speech democratic general-chat forum be setup? (June 2007)

This site closed in March 2021 and is now a read-only archive

Good afternoon.

As some of you will be aware, Martin recently handed over the chat section of this site, Metropol 24/7, over to assistant administrator Gavin Scott.

Obviously I have huge concerns about the amount of free speech and general allround feelgood atmosphere on such a forum under Mr Scott, based on his track record of heavy-handed moderation, which has seen numerous forum mainstays unvolunatrily removed or bored of the forum in the last 18 months.

This will obviously now got get any less with Mr Scott in overall control.

I am proposing that a new general-chat forum is set up with minimal policing (eg. legal reasons only) where free speech will be completely allowed.

I would welcome your views and any offers of partnership.

Regards,

James.

Why are you concerned about a forum that allows free speech and has an "allround feelgood atmosphere"?

That's how things were here once.

When the sky was blue, the grass was green, and our desks were made of marshmallows.

When we would sing and dance without a care in the world.

Bring back 2002.

without any cares in the world apart from your need to constantly bang on about how you didn't like crossroads v3 and your tendency to make bigoted posts about the gays and stuff

All this because you were banned from their James? Why not set up a forum yourself, i thought thats what you were going to do?

It is interesting.

They all start a witch-hunt - Gavin sits, hand-up-backside, doing bugger-all.

I get hacked off - I get banned.

Work it out.

That was 2003... which would mean that sometime last week the 4th Deathday passed. I thought you would have marked the occasion too!

For the good people of the forum I will soon launch a NEW forum where you can have TRUE free speech, which won't hound out somebody because THEY have an OPINION.


Well what's stopping you James? Why do you need to suddenly start this thread? From the other one I got the impression that it was done and dusted and that Homophobabigotboard would be up and running imminently.

Face the facts. Utterly no one gives a flying F about your supposed plight and fight against "the man", apart from for comedic value.
