The thread from philipk stating who was on the GMR phone in tonight?

A lot of threads seem to have gone missing today...

Check behind the couch

Radio Manchester do not sponsor the site so do not get free advertsing.

I need to ask the admin what rights we have as we are partners of RLFans

we all pay for the bbc so its not really advertising its informing us of our public service.

I've read trivial threads about boozers in Warrington, do they pay for advertising? Does Gary Skent pay for advertising? Does The Sun, Sporting Life, The Mirror, Sky Sports, BetFair, PaddyPower, Bet365? We have seen links to all of these private sector organisations sites on here you ninny.

If the BBC advertised on every single minority website (in that I mean non racial minority website) the licence fee would be more than the average wage.

It was clearly public interest and the link should have remained. Anyone with an ounce of sense would tell you that.

PS I know you are just a puppet, blindly following orders like a salivating pavlonian dog, have to do what the RLFans.com hierarchy dictate, so this isn't aimed at you per se. You are just the instrument of the vile policy. A bit like Goebbels was. Shame as you will hang with the rest of them.

it's a bit big brother!


i pay a licence for radio and TV, and have the right to free speech as long as it does not offend

Basically the BBC don't pay for an advert, therefore we will delete there adverts.

We need to offer protection to the sponsors that do advertise to keep the RLFANS alive.

RLFANS do not get any money from the BBC.

Please refer to my argument. Not falling out with you as you are nice, but your argument is shockingly naive.

and Rob_Wire's thread has gone because....?

Seeing as no-one bothered to answer my previous post.

but it was about warrington, and in the interest of public information should stay imo. oh well perhaps you should ask GMR to sponsor the site

Base subjective moderation. Nowt we can do about except push respectfully for elected moderators who can be held accountable by the members. Don't hold your breath, they dig the "power" too much.

It's not her fault, she is a minnion, but I agree with you entirely on the first bit.

would you advertise or allow an advert for a charity event?
do the club give money to this site?
who does give money?
very curious to be honest

would you refuse a sponsorship?
what grounds?/ perameters?

Is that what you call a back handed compliment?

As nice as she is, she deserved that after that husk of a counter argument. She must think we are all daft. Elected moderators are the way forward, where we can judge each candidates reason, debating skills, eloquence, intellect and knowledge against their rivals and not just appoint on the basis of owning a drum (for example) or knowing an outgoing mod (for example).

well? you've got my interest now!!!!

On one hand I agree with you totally. On the other hand what does it really matter? It's just an internet forum.

If people wanted to know about the Phil Kinsella thing they only have to look at the top story on the official site. Even easier than that download the toolbar, it's amazing.

I think you need to read Items 2 & 3 of the A.U.P.

Thing is, here, what actually did happen to Rob_Wire's thread?

I feel like Jeremy Paxman when questioning Michael Howard.

All I want to know is - where did it go, and why? If someone broke the all-hallowed AUP, then fine, just please let us know when threads are deleted.

I think I'm cracking up at the best of times....

Who's put 10p in 71 today?

Ok to put it simply, the thread was deleted because the Admins (Owners of the site) have asked the mods to delete posts which advertise the BBC as they do not pay for advertising.

If you look down the right hand side of the page there are a number of advertisers one of which is real radio who pay to advertise with a banner and also allows them to advertsie their shows in topics.

If the BBC are constantly allowed to advertise free of charge then Real Radio might as well and all the other advertisers and then the site would close because the advertisers help to pay the bills associated with running the site.

As for the Moderators, I chose them. I am a moderator because I took the site over when Neil who did a sterling job packed in though I have more than realised why he did.

As we have said many times before, stay within the AUP and you won't ever have a problem with the mods please don't argue or question there judgement or that will get you banned as well.

The mods do a job that is required to make sure that the site is first of all within the law and a reasonable place to discuss the wolves though I sometimes wonder how that was ever possible.

We don't need to tell you when a thread is deleted, we delete them because we have reason to it's as simple as that.

All this would end up with is the site being full of thread deleted topics.
