[Closed] Booooooooooo

Nah. Delete it.

On a side note it's nice to see the mods take requests 🙄

i assume this is in reaction to the pole dancing nurse thread.

There was nothing explicit or erotic about that video. The censorship on this site has gone way too far.

It did tend to invite the 'wrong sort' of comment though which was probably why it went - trying to police that sort of thread must be a nightmare.

at least there was no swearing in the video....unlike the vids on the front page of the site 🙄

then ban the person making inapropriate posts on the thread

which was why i suggested close it but don't delete it.

What is going on?
A little extreme isn't it?

Wont somebody think of the children!?!

Moderation has gone stupid in the last week or so.

Hmmmm - I wonder if some company is looking to buy this site by any chance? Or if sponsors/advertisers are being told how whiter than white STW is?

No no of course not.

And now my thread has been deleted.

I articulate an opinion and zap.

Rubbish.

will Mark's twitter account be policed - lots of (funny) swearing in those... ends up on my FB page, my kids could see the same kind of swearing freely permitted on mumsnet.... 😉

Ahem - and the swearing in the printed mag....

Well, they've done nothing about this thread which surprises me:

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-weeks-mini-movies-on-the-homepage

And they've still got the sweary vids on the homepage, which I complained about as double-standards to the mods, but they've not bothered to get back to me or do anything about it.

I get the reasoning for moderated language (I don't agree with moderating it personally), but there was nothing wrong with that video. You'd see more flesh on show watching 'strictly come dancing' or athletics/swimming/gymnastics.

I thought it was a well shot video of a very dedicated athletic woman who was wearing just as much as any modern female athletes who appear on primetime tv.

Something is most definitely "up"

someone is most definitely up themselves

Are there any students free who could organise a protest outside STW headquarters!!

The mods need to remember the forum is nothing without it's users. We don't have to use this forum there are others!

I think the less said about what's "up" , the better 🙂

I thought the STW team were pretty cool.

You know what thought did...

[i]there are others! [/i]

Well I'm not moving to Mumsnet.

Maybe Blue Peter are planning to advertise on here?

Except she was doing stuff that is normally paid for by tucking cash into her knickers. Just cos its done in black and white film doesn't make any difference.
I'm no prude, but there is no difference between that and pole dancing in a gentlemens establishment.

We should move back over to evilzone.org they loved us over there

You'd see more flesh on show watching 'strictly come dancing' or athletics/swimming/gymnastics.

The test is whether I'd feel embarrassed watching it with my daughter, or mother in law. I'm not at all sure that I would be.

The pole-dancing video, that is. I'd be [b]massively[/b] red-faced if anyone caught me watching Strictly B*******

I really don't understand why people need to swear on this forum. Why are you so bothered? Can you not express yourself without swearing? Grow up.

Who made the inappropriate comments then?

Kits pointed out those vids already.
Fabien was being homophobic in another video on the front page recently... 😯

retro83 - they liked us so much they all decamped over to here for a bit to be with us 😉

I'm all for a bit of thought policing so I've reported this thread and ask that all users be banned for between 24 and 72 hours dependent on who I like the most 🙂

this coming from a man who effed and blinded for two miles going up the back of edale cross on the last wintery pootle 😉

The mods need to remember the forum is nothing without it's users. We don't have to use this forum there are others!

YOU need to remember that it's THEIR forum and they can do what they like. It isn't a democracy, they want to run it in a particular way and I'm afraid you have to accept it. If you don't like it then go elsewhere, maybe start your own forum?

maybe start your own forum?

Meh.

maybe start your own forum?

I was just thinking about this. I'd go power mad though 😆

Pook, sorry you're wrong. I haven't said a swear word since I decided not to about 8 years ago. No need to. I might have complained and moaned but there was no swearing.

2...

I *ING WELL DEMAND MY GOD-GIVEN *ING RIGHT TO *ING SWEAR ROBDOB, YOU *!!!

NOW.... **** OFF!!!

😀

Come on, that video was far more akin to athletics than to a naughty club. Seriously.
And swearing is just part of our language, it's just a word why would it offend an adult? I see the point about it being filtered and have no gripes with that due to children etc, but half of the words aren't filtered. I've seen 2 unfiltered instances today alone.

Pook, sorry you're wrong. I haven't said a swear word since I decided not to about 8 years ago

bravo. Your choice.
How about you start obeying my religion then?

I assume the problem with filtering is that if you make it too strict it might start filtering stuff that doesn't need it. I think we can be all adult enough not to swear or post certain comments etc as requested by the mods. I like the way they trust us with this.

What would that be stoner?

Surely it's just common sense to filter the s and p words?
I quite liked it when they inserted "crikey" (or was it "cripes"?) in place of the offending word. Used to make me chuckle.

No news of Mr Consequence since the thread disappeared...

I know for a fact he'd share his displeasure with this...

[img] [/img]

Id be very offended if you didnt. Hope you dont mind and can be adult enough about this...

Look at that face.. 😥

Surely 'philconsequence' hasn't been banned for the video, has he?

That [i]was[/i] quite amusing. Didn't always work but when it did it was ace.

EDIT - Stoner, does that mean I have to eat noodles? Yeeeeuch, but I'll try. 🙂

Meh

M[b][i]l[/i][/b]eh

We are entering a new era of full disclosure and openness on the web. The internet demands the whole truth.

Anonymous would not be happy at all this censorship!

😯 I can see his appendage 😯

[img] [/img]

Well it seems that yes, Phil is banished.

As a sign of my outrage I'm not going to post anything for at least as long as it takes me to drive home and take a trip round the supermarket.

pretty sure the thread in question got pulled coz of comments like yours surf matt and not surprising really, swearing is another issue.

Solidarity Brother Yeti!

Will the last person on the site please switch the server off.

While the content of the vid may have been Ok ( But I doubt it ) the usual suspects came out with the usual misogyny and leching that is at best distasteful.

If you want to look at women with few clothes on and leer at them then I do believe their are sites for that sort of thing.

I think the censorship of the swearing has gone too far but I can only applaud the way they got rid of the leching.

While the content of the vid may have been Ok ( But I doubt it )

Which video are you talking about TJ????

The pole dancing nurse.

Can someone message me a link to the video plz? If tis proper pole I want to watch it despite you pervy lot perving over it. Ta

But there's no nurse in any video.
Theres a rather attractive young lady who used to practice as a nurse, but no pole dancing nurse.

[i]But there's no nurse in any video.
Theres a rather attractive young lady who used to practice as a nurse, but no pole dancing nurse.[/i]

The video was introduced as someone who phil did his nurse training with, and therefore it is reasonable to use the term in reference.

If you are going to attempt to argue at least put some effort in.

If you'd read what phil had said you'd notice the fact that she was travelling around the world promoting pole dancing and not putting the nessacery hours in to remain a practicing nurse, therefore an ex nurse.
Is that enough reason to call her an ex nurse. I used to fit carpets but i haven't fitted one for a couple of years now, does that still make me a carpet fitter or an ex carpet fitter?

Really, how long did you think a video of a pole dancing ex-nurse was going to last, given the activity of the mods this week?

Pretty dumb timing if nothing else.

Yes Dear.

As I said above, the initial reference was to her relationship with phil, which included the fact that she had trained as a nurse, therefore, and I'll type it r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y so you get it, it is reasonable to refer to her in those terms.

The video was cool, it was not erotic or even mild titillating. It was enlightening in the same way that a non bike rider might find a Danny Macaskill video enlightening.

The dancer was wearing athletic clothing not dissimilar to those that you would see on the the start line of the women's 100metres.

I honestly saw nothing wrong with the video. For anyone that didn't see it it was closer to cirque du soleil (in sportswear) than it was to Spearmint Rhino.

My god she was strong. As an example of a highly trained athlete she was exemplary. As an example of a sexist or leery spectacle, she was nothing of the sort.

muppetWrangler; TBH chap, your (or mine, or any poster's) opinion of that video is largely irrelevant.

Pole dancing has one connotation in our society, and that's pretty much the start, middle and end of it, and as I said earlier, given the activity of the mods this week, the timing was at best ill advised, and at worst; clearly baiting...It was only ever going to end one way.

There are sites where I'm sure you can find other Pole dancers, clothed, or otherwise. 😉

can someone privatley (dont want you getting in trouble) mail me a link of the video, email in profile, want to show it the mrs and can't find it on vimeo - will be in cache at work but will have forgotten about it by monday. Also whats the name of the music on it I quite liked it.

Music was 'Sweet Disposition' by the Temper Trap.

cheers legend

nickc, after seeing that video my thoughts on pole dancing changed and that is as good a reason as any for it to have remained viewable.

The woman featured in the video was as far removed from pole dancings undoubtedly seedy origins as the heavyweight champion of the world is distanced from a Saturday night punch up in a pub car park. How can opinion ever be changed if were not allowed to have our preconceptions challenged?

Her prop was a steel pole, had she done a similar act using a length of material suspended from the rafters I doubt anybody would have raised any objections, and she'd probably already be booked for the Royal Variety performance.

Its a great pity that people cannot see how and why the video is not suitable for this site and that it would clearly lead ( as it did) to misogynistic leering and leching.

[i]after seeing that video my thoughts on pole dancing changed[/i]

uh huh...

Riiight, but A&A threads are just fine...

A&A rightly has died a death (haven't seen it in weeks)

I think I've expressed my opinion on the subject as clearly as I can and I doubt that I will win anyone over to my viewpoint by adding anything further so I'll bid you all a goodnight.

AA threads are no more read the sticky.

Pole exercise is really big business now. Loads of clubs out there catering for both sexes and all ages. You need to be strong, flexible and have great body tension to do the workouts well.
