Looks like theyve had enough of all awkward "anti camera" posters and have decided to "duck and cover"..
Wondered how long itd be before they finally slunk off back to the slime filled trench they crawled out of.
Losers!

You've got two weeks to really give them some stick!
So, the Speedfinder-General finally gives up after failing to answer properly put questions. And he's just been caught out lying!
What a T****r.

I saw it coming. I decided not to bother posting there since SafeSpeed was muzzled, hyperlinks were banned and members started disappearing.

Shame really, that is the ONLY forum I found where (some, few.......OK maybe 2) people are in favour of the scamera policy.

Oh well

It clearly shows the weakness of their arguments.

Where next?

What other camera-representative forums are there deserving of questioning minds?

Only 1 more I think - shows how "Popular" they are doesn't it?

Hasn't been visted for some time but as usual full of camera supporters voicing their support

I hope it somehow gets into the newspapers that their little forum has had to close due to the inability of CSCP to defend their activities.

It's easy enough to report it to the sun online.... They might be interested

We'll probably be branded irresponsible child killers though.

Aah, the infamous delete-gate scandal. Basically there was a sticky which went into great detail about how great CSCP were doing and how fantastic they were. When the time came to input the last couple of month's worth of figures for 2004 the thread disappeared. Members asked where it had gone. Steve replied that it had been pruned. Since the thread was completely gone and had had recent posts he was accused of lying and asked to explain how his software knew how to prune topics that made him look bad, regardless of the date the last posts were made. Toys went out of the pram as he took a bit of a hissy fit about the use of the l-word. Turned out that admin had deleted the thread, apparently without telling Steve that he was doing so . It was pointed out to Steve that a lie is still a lie even if you think you are telling the truth (cue much rustling around in dictionaries). Several people were banned for refusal to retract the l-word. Think Steve wanted them to buy new dictionaries

Shortly after lie-gate I was banned for repeating another members question "how can you take the credit when fatalities fall but refuse to accept the blame when they go up?" I was banned within 5 minutes of posting that, at 11.30 at night! This apparently comes under the heading of OTT personal criticism.

I'm constantly amazed that I have never been banned there. I post as JohnyForeigner and some of my comments have led to bans when other make similar comments.

I don't contribute often but when I do I have often upset Steve - the last time being when I suggested that the increase in Deaths was down to Speed Camera policy and removal of traf pol.

He demanded I "took it back" or face a ban, well neither has happened to date (yet)

The screen the messages now, so none of my challenging views have got there (yet).

It's the sort of free and democratic forum that the Bliarbies encourage: we are completely free to do and say what we like, as long as it is exactly what we are told to....

Speaking in my role as chief dictionary rustler - sorry ex chief dictionary rustler - I can confirm that it was indeed one of the more amusing days on the forum.

I am since informed that it was not a lie. The correct, politically approved description is now a "terminological inexactitude"...

Isn't this also referred to as a 'tactical misrepresentation'?

Now we're getting to the truth of the matter! I think that phrase accurately describes 90-95% of CSCP bods' posts.

So are there any more worthy scamera forums worth inhabiting?

I kinda feel like a soap dodging activist even though I was banned months ago

Well, I agree totally ; it's your own stupid fault. I posted there and had no problems

Dear Steve. Thank you for your wonderful safety cameras, which have saved the lives of my entire family. Please bring back hanging for speeding offences. PS: Do you want to have my children ?
