Posts rarely get moderated, but when it happens the moderators nearly always get stick from someone, be that in a PM or creating a thread. The posts in question referred to another member as having a multiple personality disorder. We are supposed to be a friendly community, that's why we have moderation in place. It's no more 'funny' to make jest at somebody's sexuality or race, as it is their mental well being.

When someone posts in the third person, and apparently says they are issuing a statement on behalf of themselves, it all looks very odd, and a tongue in cheek reference to multiple personalities was quite apt, in my opinion.

You can bet your bottom dollar if the same humorous observation was made about someone else, Graham Jones for instance, it would have remained unedited.

The pathetic pettiness, and outlawing of any humour, is killing the fun of this site.

You know, were people have different characters, all living differing lives.

They refer to themselves in the third person, when speaking of other characters.

I heard there was a total ban on any reviews if the press, for fear of upsetting.....er, I don't really know.

I know what you mean too.......I was one of those people who had what I thought was a quite innocuous post deleted.

theres every chance that was me... accyweb has always been a place where racists can say just about anyhting they want so long as it has a smile on the end... Its never changed.. it has ups and downs.. I was disgusted with the swastika avatars no matter what arguments where put forward to allow them...

I am proud of the fact that I got a zero tolerence rule against a certain word beggining with P to be enforced on accyweb ..

i give up bothering about it as i aint on no crusade.. it just means accyweb is a true reflection of hyndburn which is quite racist in itself.

Hows that?

I thought you got a P word banned

...obviously not this one - I find that more insulting than what was deleted yesterday on the grounds that it was 'insulting'

Margaret Pilkington · 10-04-2009, 12:21

I agree with that MargaretR.

My feelings exactly. K-P's post is personal and insulting........and as such is against the rules of the forum.

derekgas · 10-04-2009, 17:25

I agree with the two lovely Margarets about the 'P' word! Second one that is, the first one referred to isnt an insult, it is I think, referring to a person from a certain country!

accyman · 10-04-2009, 19:30

paddy - irish
scot - scotland
ausi - australian
taffy -welsh
yank - american
pommie - english
ruskie - russian
pole - polish
sweed - sweedish
crout - german
indian - indian

no one ever hears about any on the above list screaming racism or has people screaming to stop using those names on tehir behalf

its not the word that is racist its how you use it infact i think the british public are world leaders at getting offended on other peoples behalf

if i was racist i wouldnt use cb cabs, i wouldnt eat at the akash and i wouldnt buy my computer parts form the shops i do

i will hold my hand up to predjudice but everone is guilty of that in some way or other , unless they are a saint that is
