Why are boards.ie censoring Jom Corr?

samson09

It seems the good folks here at boards.ie are censoring Jim Corr. I joked about boards.ie being sold to the Rockefellers a few weeks ago, maybe I was right! Apparently they have deleted an article he posted in the politics forum and have cancelled his account. Wtf?!

Boards.ie have censored my Lisbon article Written by Jim Corr Saturday, 19 September 2009 17:52 Today the 19th September I posted a self penned article on the forthcoming 2nd referendum on the Lisbon treaty. Upon my return to the web-site I have discovered not only that the article was deleted from the politics section, but my account appears to be canceled. Blatant censorship? You decide...

There's a rule on the politics forum against soapboxing and spamming the site. I think he was guilty of both. He may have also been a returning banned user, but that could all be a conspiracy

From Corr's article:

PS: I won't be replying to any comments

From the Politics Charter, section 1, on starting threads:

if you are not willing to discuss what you post, then please don't post it.

Blatant censorship, or simple enforcement of clearly-defined rules?

You decide.

In fairness, I have to agree he should have been open to discussion on his article. Still didn't deserve to have his account cancelled though, if thats what happened. Maybe he'll be able to re-post if he decides he wants to talk?

JIM! COME BACK AND START OPENING EYES!

I'd also highlight the possibility that the Admins may not have had any proof that it was actually Jim Corr, so cancelled the account. If someone were to post an article like the one he did under any name, I'd bet the article would have been removed. Since he was claiming to be Jim Corr, the account was probably suspended because if it wasn't Jim Corr, the admins could end up being liable for not checking.

Plus he pimped his own website. Thats a big no no

Indeed. If that is what happened.

Hopefully not overstepping what I should be saying as a Politics mod, I can tell you that Politics mods cannot cancel accounts...but were the people who removed Corr's post (and who made the decision to remove his post)

What's the account name and I'll have a look.

If you have an issue with what you believe to be a Boards.ie policy you should take it to the HelpDesk forum where an Admin will deal with your query.
