Good advice comandante
I've already done that twice. A full page of HTML when they removed my homepage for copyright reasons on a poem by someone who died over a century ago.
NB Then I reposted it bit by bit to find out where the "problem" lay It worked

The rest of BBC Online is less restrictive than H2G2 so take stuff that has already been published there and repost it here, making a comment if you feel it necessary

Fear not comandante most of the fun is remaining within the rules....just.
I don't post URLs, there are ways round that.

Read the guidelines carefully and then take them to the limit.

You are right, Deidzoeb, and maybe I was taking it a little bit too far, but the last URL was actually posted in the moderators own interest, helpful as I am .
I'll stop now, though. I think I have made the point to end all points - in this matter anyway.
Keep up the good work! Long live the revolution! May our cause be short-lived!

Guerilla Tactics VI
As the ultimate raison d'etre (if I can say that) for this site is to produce articles for the Guide (oh yes it is), no usable articles should be submitted by any Zaphodista until we overcome this hamfisted "moderation". I doubt that many are in the pipeline anyway because of the ludicrous censorship, but thought I'd say it anyway.

While I haven't been censored YET (and probably not likely to be, considering how repressed I am ) I have none the less been reading happily along, only to experience postus interruptus! Adultify the world! Viva, Zaphodistas!

Amy: maybe they trust your link because it's a 'dot-gov'. Maybe there are some threads that they just CAN'T keep up with. When you've got a thread where you just hang out and chat, moderating it is like censoring someone in their own home.
Meanwhile:
.oooO..oo..oooO..oO.. ..OOoo..oO..oOOo..oooo..OOO..Ooo..oO.. ..oOOo..OOO..oOo.. ..ooo..oo..o..OO..oOOo..oOo..o.!
That's Bubblish for 'VIVA ZAPHODA POR SIEMPRE!' which is Spanish. The 3rd person imperative doesn't translate well into English, but it's basically 'FOREVER LIVE THE ZAPHOD MOVEMENT!' or something, but you see, it's not really translatable. Nothing in English carries the feeling of 'VIVA ZAPHODA POR SIEMPRE!' Nope.
On the plus side, the moderators are probably enjoying learning a bit about languages, and I know I'm delighted to have discovered Bubblish!
Oh, and I disagree with the guerilla tactic of not posting entries during the moderation. I'm chiefly here to write entries, and if we let them change our basic h2g2 activity to that large a degree, then we're conceding a tremendous defeat. When I'm moderated to the point that I no longer want to write Guide entries, then I'll leave.

You're the second person to suggest that theory, GTB. The other person was American. Are you? I could see the argument for trusting dot-gov-dot-uk sites but why trust the sites of a foreign power?
I may experiment.

If we don't post guide entries, then the BBC have just bought themselves one large talking shop and something will have to give.
Not writing guide entries is the one tactic that may force change.
Oh what lovely irony GTB, I was just about to post my reply when your thingy No. 193 was censored.

There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Posted Mar 30, 2001
They're censoring Bubblish posts? Well now, I have a whole conversation with Hugo in Bubblish on my "Older Conversations" page which hasn't yet been taken out, so how come they're removing them here? WE DEMAND CONSISTENCY!!! And if they're taking out all Bubblish posts, how on earth is poor Hugo communicating with ANYONE????
I say FREE THE BUBBLISH ONE!!! Who's with me?

Another tactic might be to FLOOD them with work by LINDA-ing everything in sight until the whole site grinds to a complete halt?
