They almost certainly regret putting that forum in place because too many intelligent people ask questions CSCP find impossible to answer. Maybe this is part of a winding down process.

"Reg"

What's even more depressing than their petty censorship and arbitrary rules is that they're using our money to do all of this. How *dare* they treat their employers (you and me) thus.

The Safety Camera partnerships should be disbanded immediately.

Admin has removed 2 threads - no reason, and has ammended one to remove a link FFS.

This bloke has got it soooo wrong. I agree with Regmolehusband it is winding down, but I think think they are deliberately killing it.

I don't have a membership of that site and so can't post there (it seems a bit much effort to get myself one too), but surely the fact that they are restricting links to outside pages damages their campaign.

Okay, you can see how it does not look great for an official site of a safety camera partnership thing to link to the websites of the campaigns against "safety" cameras. On the other hand, surely the fact that they feel they have to prohibit such links is infact an admission that safespeed have an argument that they cannot defeat. By banning links to other sites (which really means safespeed) they are infact admitting that safespeed has the better arguments, and they cannot think of ways to defeat them.

Actually at least three threads that I started are no longer there. See:

www.safespeed.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1140

As far as I know, none of them breached the new forum rules.

They are killing it with censorship.

[safespeed]

I keep posting this to the CSCP Forum:

==================================
The restrictive management of this forum has gone far too far.

I hate censorship.

I hate unnecessary rules.

I hate the bonkers idea that posts are not allowed to include links.

I think CSCP have lost the plot completely.

I want no part of it. Please delete my user account as soon as possible.
========================================

So far they have deleted the post twice - I've posted it three times. My user account still works.

Why?????

Just found this on CSCP

Admin on CSCP said:

Mr S has requested that we delete his membership, something I am not going to do as I am not going to turn him into a martyr. What I have done is set his membership so that I have to validate all his posts. If he posts something that is relevant to the forum and in a tone that is acceptable then I will let it go onto the board. Any rants that are off topic or ciontain issues that we have asked be directed to us via email, then they will be nuked. I am posting this is open forum so that all members are aware of the actions taken and so Mr Smith cannot post miscontrued comments elsewhere.

Says it all

You bet. Free speech is very important to me.

[supraman2954]

If you want to be deleted, you could try changing your email account to a disposable type. Surely that can't stop you from doing that? Then they must delete you!

Your new signature is interesting

They are now completely paranoid. They think I'm playing a game of chess that they can't win. And, because ot that they failed to recognise a perfectly straightforward resignation due to unacceptable censorship.

Have I got them worried, or have I got them WORRIED?

I would say Paul. You have indeed

[gopher]

Sad thing is I think they want the forum to die a slow "noiseless" death, they can switch it off due to a "lack of use" rather than answer the quesions that are building up. It has been suggested or asked (by Paul ?) that orders from "above" might have caused this to kick off, and I think that may be the case it would go some way to explain this sudden censorship.

Cheers

Yes, instructions from above are certainly a good fit for the pattern. In one of the posts deleted today I asked that as a direct question. No answer.

One part of the "good fit" is that Steve really couldn't come up with a credible reason about why he deleted the "DfT constltation" post last weekend. Of course if it wasn't his decision, then it might be hard to come up with a reason...

[cptsideways]

I've been deleted too off the forum, knows why?

I think this should really to go to press guys the Daily Mail would lap this up big time.


Cumbrian "safety" quango cant take the constructive criticism so closes it doors & becomes secretive!
