Censorship of this type REALLY bugs me, its as if the moderators have forgotten the definition of the word forum. A forum is the perfect place to discuss current news affairs like those mentioned. If the threads were in mobile free forum (using wap I cannot say) then there is no justification whatsoever in deleting them. At a time when notorious Muslim torrorist Abu Hamza is legally permitted to spout anti British hatred on the streets of London, it appears that esato is banning intelligent discussions on..

....the very real and pertinent issues of the day. This is not an issue to be taken lightly, and I believe I speak for the majority when I call for Laffen himself to answer why this action was taken by a member of his team.

I'll explain.
First I need to appologise for the delay of my reply, but I'm not by my PC all the time.
The topic has not been deleted, it's moved to a closed forum for Moderators to be looked at a bit closer.
The reason I moved the two topics was quite simple, they were not "intelligent discussions" in the end. "God will never let us lose against Israel and USA!!", "yes, tomorrow i will come into your home kick you out, destroy your other shelters, set up a militray and give you a curfew. and you are not allowed to fight back." and mixing Bin Laden into it all is not what I call intelligent frazes in a discussions.
Out of experience I found it best to keep an eye on them and they both started off in a good manner but they both ended up a bit OTT.
I think deleting one reply (Censorship toward one member) is worse than quaratene the topic.
I'll admit to having misjudged it if Laffen decides they ought to go back into the forum.
You will have a personal excuse from me if that will be the case.
Tranquil

After all,this is a mobile phone forum,read what it says at the top of the homepage.
Anyway i'm sure there's plenty of forums for these kind of discussions elsewhere on the net,i know i posted a reply on the shuttle thread but ppl started posting ridiculous stuff on there and that really pisses me off when ppl come along and start talking out of their arse's,i mean,as if bin laden has got anything to do with it and then hamza starts calling it a 'sign from God',oh please,it was a terrible accident.
Space travel IS still new you know.

Hello again
Whilst I may not agree with all the 'radical' views written by some people, the topic was placed in a 'Mobile Free Zone' Although people are saying that wat is sed is terrible, the things written are peoples' opinions. U cant really tell people not write what they think in a Discussion Forum..
I know this isnt a political discussion website, there is a Mobile Free Zone which means that people are able to talk about other things when they dont have any problems with their phones. If u want to censor then just edit certain comments if they are too 'radical', but deleting a whole discussion topic is a bit OTT..

@ tranquil: I think it was a good move of you ... BUT ... lets bring back the two thread cause a forum is a place to share opinions, ideas, and lot's of others things, I know about the stupid post but it's easier to discuss with the mods and delete the stupid post and give a warning to the guy than delete the whole thread and if the guy won't listen to the multiple warnings just make a temp ban ....
My point of view
