Smudge Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 After 2 years hard work by all posters in raising this Forum from the abyss of Ranking 17 to Ranking 5 on the soccerlinks site.Funded in some way by all the Gold Members I encouraged to join up,and your great posts,in keeping the site vibrant and up to date with gossip,features,praise,encouragement and the odd fallout between posters.Not least the starting up of our own Charity side,that raised nearly £1000 for shooting stars chase.You can imagine how shocked I was this evening to see Whitelaws name in Blue,my first thought was he has raided the C.C.L. Coffers,and bought a GOLD MEMBERSHIP,and was just about to post the' WELL DONE WHITELAW THREAD'when I checked his profile,IAN in my opinion you have made a big mistake in making him a MODERATOR of this site.Will free speech be allowed?I ask myself,I am not comfortable with it for one,or is it BIG BROTHER stepping in?

Wattsy Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Will free speech be allowed? Free speech? Don't be silly, I gave an honest opinion last season of a match report and exposing a certain official, only to get in trouble. so there's your answer. Imagine if I was a journalist and wrote that, they'd not have the power then, but hey it's done and dusted I learnt my lesson! I've not see Whitelaw around recently or is it just me?

bomaya Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well you were allowed free speech on here Wattsy, it was your club at the time that didn't like it, not the forum's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beano Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Smudge, is your middle name Marvin, because you are the original "Paranoid Android"! It is down to me that Whitelaw is a moderator for another forum hosted on this site, because it was me who disabled the forum that was hosted on the Ashford Town (Middlesex) FC server. It had security issues that I have neither the time nor the technical skill to fix. Whitelaw feels strongly that Ashford need a forum and he happens to like this one very much, which is why the new forum is hosted on this site. As he was instrumental in setting it up, it is entirely logical he should be one of the mods. So you see, Smudge, if you hadn't built the CCL forum up, this whole thread would never have happened! Not only do you have nothing to worry about in terms of free speech, etc but the community on this board have essentially been paid a complement by the League Secretary. It's a real shame that your proverbial glass always seems to be "half-empty" as you really did get the wrong end of the stick this time.

Ian_W Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 This has run it's course. So am closing. I think Beano sums it up well. My earlier replies were made from my mobile. If anyone ever has any concerns you can always PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
