Perhaps not so surprising though, given the poor quality of many of the posts on this site, is the deletion of, for example, a recent intelligent and intellectually stimulating thread (begun by myself, I modestly remind you) initiating a discussion on the possibility and desirablity of a new Gulls stadium at some time in the future.
So what exactly is the policy on censorship here?
You want to have a look at the vast majority, if not all, of the other football forum on the internet. One 2 minute visit to the Bristol Useless, AC Northampton or any other L2 forum makes me absolutely thankful that we all have such a pleasant forum to use.
There is so very rarely a thread on any other forum which doesn't, very quickly, descend into childish name calling as soon one poster doesn't agree with the initial assertion of the OP.
It was 'the f word' which I typed, fully expecting it to be censored automatically by the site. We're all grown ups here (aside from the few nippers who pop along occasionally) and it is sometimes the case that profanity is appropriate.
