Hev, feel the love, baby.....

Robert, it is obvious that Hev's post went way above your head. Allow me to assist you.
She was commenting on Michael's post saying that he did not know what "censorship" had to do with Seti@Home.
Hev was just making the more pertinent point that "Babe of the Day" has nothing to do with Seti@Home either.
See, it's easy when you understand the nuances of the English language ;-))

Yup your right, I thought he was complaining about Seti@Home moderators....


I need to learn how to read...

Hey, sorry if I gave that impression. This is not quite as bad as reducing Pluto to a dwarf, and I'm not saying it was anyone at Seti@Home that dun it :)

It's a shame that we have an MP amongst us who doesn't seem to want to acknowledge answers given to his question. Maybe it's because he's too busy looking for something else to support other than the Iraq war. Oh yes, school toilets.

David Cameron (Leader of the Opposition) has turned up the volume on emissions law. Perhaps your lot should at least acknowledge the need to do something about Climate Change Mr Palmer, like, I mean, mention it in parliament and raise it above concern for school toilets?

Was the deletion because of the above post?

It doesn't look like something that should get deleted. IMO it's censorship of a political opinion.

Yes, that post and a few others like this one which got me banned today from posting anything on the forum;

Is this why Tony Blair lives in England but doesn't give a hoot about Iraq?

Things have moved on a little. I have emailed Nick Palmer MP (the MP who is posting on the BBC CCE forum) and to Michael Gove MP, who is MP of my constituency, as a BBC license payer concerned about being censored (I will be adding the word 'unlawfully at some stage, probably - could make tomorrow's headlines above naming a date for Tony Blair's departure).

Ah well, they imposed the imposed a higher level of censorship on me "You may not post or rate messages until Sep 19, 2006"

I have to say that I'm not impressed at all with absolutely no support or comment from 'my' team, The Knights Who Say Ni!. I expect I might be changing my signature shortly.

This was a post the moderators on the BBC forum deleted earlier today (they are not 'BBC moderators', but BOINC moderators on a BBC forum);

(I am replying to a comment by an MP who is posting on the site, but won't be replying again because I am censored from any posts to the entire forum!)

Everything else gets ignored. For instance, my constituency is in outer Nottingham, far from the sea, and I've never been interested in fisheries myself, so my involvement in fisheries issues is absolutely zero. The MP for Grimsby, say, has to get stuck into fisheries policy, even if he doesn't personally care about it, while conversely he probably doesn't give a hoot about open-cast mining, a big issue in my patch.

Is this why Tony Blair lives in England but doesn't give a hoot about Iraq?

Did you ever ask the Admins or Moderators why your post was deleated?

As a result of puzzled inquiries by other members of the BBC CCE forum, a moderator has responded.

I quote;

Those recent posts did not contribute to a fruitfull conversation and would have killed the thread in question.

Let's be clear about this, the last post I made before being banned (I am still unable to post on that forum) was "Is this why Tony Blair lives in England but doesn't give a hoot about Iraq?"

I also quote from Hev;

I think that a British member of this government posting on an open forum is just asking for trouble.

Surely a comment about Tony Blair and Iraq that is deleted by a moderator, and the banning of that author from further posts, simply because the moderators prefer a thread to go to their liking, is blatant censorship?

If the moderator is not the originator of the thread, then such an action is, indeed, blatant censorship.

The moderator is tasked with enforcing general policy, not with "guiding" discussions on any thread not his/her own. The opinion of the moderator as to the "fruitfull" nature of any individual post is not germane to the moderators responsibility.

Any moderator engaging in this Orwellian "thought police" type of activity should be deemed incapable of properly discharging his/her duties and have those moderator privileges revoked.

I have to say that I'm not impressed at all with absolutely no support or comment from 'my' team, The Knights Who Say Ni!. I expect I might be changing my signature shortly.

Did you try posting about your situation over at our team board? That might be the better way to get some support. Also, I think that the BBC climate project is different from CPDN. So if the KWSN team does't take part in the BBC's project as much as some of the other projects, that could be why. Unless it's the same climate project? Damn, the hell if I know, besides SETI, Einstein and Climate Prediction, I really don't no much about all of the other BOINC projects or how much our team is involved in them.

The BBC isn't as free-speechy as you might think. While they do claim to be neutral, they would probly be a little protective of the politicians from the two major political parties. Anyways, that's the impression I have.

So, don't give up on our team yet. :)

Sorry A/C, I never did reply to this. I have changed team here to The Final Front Ear and to England in BBC CCE. Whilst The Knights Who Say Ni! are highly present in most forums, they do not post here (apart from you) and they do not post in BBC CCE (apart from an exception a while ago). Whilst it's good to join a team and stick with it, it becomes a bit lonely and pointless if only one out of some tens or hundreds are posting. In any case, I'd rather associate myself with active posters who get into so much humor and 'wind down let down your hair and have a good chat' that does it for me. It's mainly about participation - and I'd rather be in a group doing some of it. I wish you all the best with your (sleeping) knights.

The reason I dug up this old thread because I was looking for the Star Trek Tread. Someone on Siran t' T'Khasi's thread suggested there were people that didn't like Star Trek. I was banned from the BBC CCE forum for 2 weeks for placing a link to one of the Star Trek gifs here. Nothing that would break the rules for decency, under 18 etc. Simply because I used it to poke fun at the recruiting tactics of one of the teams in BBC CCE.

I would wholeheartedly agree that some don't like Star Trek (What's wrong with them?!).

Anyways, I just wanted to give my answer to A/C as to why I've changed team here.

Well... sorry to hear that you've decided to change teams iX. It's understandable why you would want to accociate more with people from a team that's more active on these forums. Not being part of a team that has active posters here can make one feel like an outsider I guess.

You're right, apparently I am the only member of The Knights Who Say Ni! that posts (regularly) in this part of the forum. Although a few do post in number crunching. Hmm, perhaps sleepy isn't the right word. I think that other members of the KWSN may avoid posting here in the cafe partly because of the environment, and the tension that arises from time to time. It's somewhat easy for one to be misunderstood. Many people that post in the number crunching board probably avoid posting here for the same reasons.

I don't know why they'd have anything against Star Trek :O

Thank Mikey. Ooooh, meatballs, with spagetti tonight? Sorry, it's a term we don't use here this side of the pond, but I think I know what you mean. Can all meatballs please declare themselves to me because I'm a limey who doesn't know squat? :)

Hey, I hadn't thought about that. I like to dabble in the science forums, but the number crunching just is so... boring. However, maybe I'll make the effort to have a look from time to time, see what your knights are up to. Anyways, I made a nice graphic so The Final Front Ear is the place to be for me. Now I need to update it mention the nuts....
