Anyway - I'm still having a look around at what has been deleted and what has been censored. But please remember the moderators are doing there job, if something is considered racial or whatever (I'm not getting into what is and isn't right now) then I can get into trouble(not the moderators), even though when you sign up there is an agreement that you will be responsible as the poster. I don't want to get into trouble or have this site closed down - I don't know if you are aware but the internet is far from a free speech resource, there are many legal rules and guidelines that have to be followed on a site such as this, too many for me or any of the moderators to actually be certain on. So to err on the side of caution is the best solution as of now.

Discussions are being held with our moderators on what the best solution is for the future of the site. This is a discussion forum after all and we do live in a multi race/culture society so the subject is always going to appear.

I will leave this thread open and if anyone wishes to contribute ideas then they are welcome. If this thread however turns into a race debate then it will be closed.
Thank You Roy. I also hope that this thread stays on the topic of Thread and Posting Deletions. After all, it is important what Thread / Posting is deleted. Why it is deleted is always open to debate, but there are rules and interpretation of rules. If we all know what's happened, we can then moderate our posts or not make any comments, but we will be aware.
