This is a Family Forum!
But what does that mean?
My family comprises of me, my teenage mother, and my seven drug and alcohol abusing siblings. Always swearing and always having sex and doing naughty things! It is the same with my siblings!
And so to me a family orientated forum relates to constant swearing and talking about drugs!
Is that what this forum is I don't understand
Thank you for your time
kind regards

Can I say it was my post about the child abuse that happened to me that had gotten deleted. It was removed upon my request as several of your friends Grix decided it was funny to ridicule me. Hence why I dislike the fact you've all come back to cause trouble.
If freeola doesn't provide a forum that satisfies your discussion topics, finish this trouble and move to one that does. It's not that difficult. And as you are all old enough and intelligent enough to discuss subjects like depression, drugs, abuse and the like then I would have thought you would have worked that out for yourself.

Can I debate this or will my post be removed because people do not wish to discuss this?

I am under the understanding the only arrests made for 'trolling' on an internet site are from continuously linking to pornography.
I'm not quite sure how seriously the police will take you if someone was starting a topic to discuss something that people might not be interested in.
The reason that pushed me over the edge of leaving this forum the last time was a topic where someone was trying to discuss their abuse as a child being deleted. I'm pretty sure one person, at least, was highly interested in talking about that.
I know it's a difficult job, but sadly the word moderation comes with a definition. It kinda has to remain the centre of a balanced argument, not cause them. Considering the recent banning of a large group of people for difficult reasons to explain other than the speed in which the replies came, I'm thinking perhaps judging individual posts in moderation might require a bit of thinking outside the box.
As for a balanced argument, would a topic about how horrible people are who take drugs and how they should have be punished for it get deleted, if it was made by the younger audience? In terms of moderation I don't see that as a balanced argument, and I imagine it'd be left well alone until someone actually did bring a counter-argument towards it.

EDIT: It just puzzles me that certain subjects are obviously off limits, even if they weren't represented ignorantly, and were discussed in all seriousness, while at the same time the site is supposed to "welcome freedom of speech."

One of the Rules:
Do not troll or cause trouble - Anyone found to be purposely winding up other users (trolling) or causing trouble (eg. trying to break the site, using other people's usernames etc.) will be warned - we're providing a place for you to visit, and we'd ask you to respect our rules and behave yourself. If you cannot follow these simple regulations then we will have to ask you to leave. If necessary, we can pass your details on to higher authority should we deem it a serious enough offence.
A number of 'new' or returning users seem to have missed this one.
We will not remove posts because we do not like the content, but because they are in breach of the rules - in that they are not appropriate, disruptive etc.
As forum moderators the responsibility falls on us here at Freeola to make sure the rules of the forums are followed. This is for the protection of the whole forum community, some of these members may be minors and certain topics will clearly not be suitable.
Please bear this in mind when using the Freeola forums.
Both motomoto and myself consider this matter closed, there is no point covering the same ground over and over.

This is incorrect. If the thread is of no interest to regular users, what is the point of posting in the first place? That was the point that was made. I did not indicate that this is the reason a post be removed.
Posts will be removed if they are deemed as inappropriate for the potential viewers or current viewers of the Freeola forums.

I fail to see your point.
Ignorant comments and potentially controversial comments are two completely different things. You're basically saying that unless you deem it to be "of any interest to regular users", without any way of backing such a claim up, the topic will most likely be removed.

Freeola maintains the right to remove any post or user that it wishes from the forums, as does any moderator or owner of an online forum.
Whether we will or not is a different question, I can safely say that a user would not be banned without a good reason, whether the user thought it was a good reason is a different matter.
