h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ta! said I had never seen in side it or the other come to that

"But my beef is why couldn't the sodding BBC tell me my posting had put them in a difficult position."

They did, by putting defamation in the House Rules and informing you that your post contravened it. It's a pity that H2 is run by an interest group, but I can understand why they maintain a 'better safe than sorry' policy.

all they told me was that I'd broken the house rules, they didn't tell me which one, everyone else assumed it was deformation

They always tell you it's a transgression, it's a standard email, they don't write custom ones especially aimed at your particular transgression.

It would be nice if they had seperate emails for seperate transgressions, it's a pain in the bum trying to work out what it is you've actually done wrong

Lol, there aren't that many: flaming/trolling, objectionable material, spamming/flooding, advertising, non-english content, unsuitable urls, defamation, copyright infringement and spitting.

With most of those, you know you've done it

I think I've been done for everything except spitting, I was brung up proper I was

The court apperance for flashing must have been fun

Where does it say flashing???

Well you said

>done for everything except spitting<

It must be in there somewhere

Come to think of it I don't think I've been done for trolling and flaming, I've been accused of it but not done for it

Now that I find truely shocking

Heh, I once had a little game with some people on how long it would take for the admins to remove postings referring to the Iraq crisis.

And?

Less than 10 minutes, they were pretty fast in removing them.

They must have an alarm that rings whenever 'The War/Police Action/Peacekeeping mission' is mentioned

At one time you thought they monitured your site

Thought? We KNOW !!!

I was being polite

Heh, what do you think the little eyes are for? THEY'RE WATCHING YOU!
