Thread Name: BBC Radio 2 Boards And Music Racism
Subject: RE: BBC Radio 2 Boards And Music Racism
Well, it had to happen!

I've just been banned from the BBC for a whole week (shiver me timbers) because I damn well keep asking WHY????????

Posts and threads about Seth Lakeman, The Oysterband and Yusuf Islam came back on last night..AND...they were all OPEN!!

So...on I went, to happily inform people that they were now back, they'd moved to page 4 and some people may have overlooked them....those messages were deemed spam...er...even though the BBC themselves allowed them on (they weren't spam, just informative)...then they got rid of them....THEN they removed the titles and posts about Seth and The Oysterband, completely....AGAIN!!!!!.....and the Yusuf one from last night (which I posted way back, went on the board and disappeared. I'd started another one, which is still on there)....has now also gone, although this is for the best as the second thread was very similar, just with a different link in......which was removed anyway..even though there was no earthly reason to do that!

(Anyone lost the will to live yet?!) ;0)


However, the Show of Hands one is STILL closed as are the Show of Hands 'Mystery' one and the Seth Lakeman 'Mystery'. WHY?????

Meanwhile the 'official complaints section' of the BBC told me to write to the mods...and the mods told me to write to the 'official complaints section' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So....I thought I'd put the post, which has obviously made them all apply for Early Retirement, on here:

>>>>Subject:
SUPPRESSION OF ARTISTS AND MUSIC

Posting:
TO THE MODS and HOST OF THIS BOARD


WHERE ARE YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT THE BLAZES ARE YOU DOING??????????

No-one will answer me!!!

I have now made THREE official complaints about this board and what is going on here...and have been told that if I have a problem, then I should write to the Mods!!!!!!!!

BUT...I write to the Mods, er....all the time at present.....and guess what???????

THEY NEVER WRITE BACK!!!!!!


Meanwhile posts of mine in which EVERY SINGLE WORD AND LINK is checked first, as I am on pre-mod, are happily placed on this board, then....they are ***removed***...along with titles.....and I am told they are SPAM!!!! It is chaotic and a complete shambles!!!!

HOW can ONE thread and one post on The Oysterband be SPAM?????? The Oysterband Mystery was ONLY started up because the original thread was removed...it contains nothing about the band....merely asking WHY the original thread went!! And that thread is now closed down!!??????

HOW can ONE thread and post, in which every single thing has been pre-chekced by you, the Mods, before being permitted on this board...then be SPAM...or have links in which are deemed commercial?

Every links is pre-examined. They are purely links to artists websites, which are permitted on all other boards............AND...if I put a link in right now to the BBC Cambridge Folk Festival...it would be allowed to stay....YET should also be viewed in exactly the same way as any other link is now being viewed!!!!!

And NO! this thread is NOT inflammatory. This thread is ONLY here, because NO-ONE at the BBC will tell me what the **************** is going on??????????

And WHY has the SHOW OF HANDS thread been closed down? And WHY has the second Seth Lakeman thread also been closed down? Again, just as with The Oysterband, it was *only* started because the MODS REMOVED the FIRST THREAD COMPLETELY!!

AND **WHY** are you returning these threads and posts....and then removing them again???????????

I can obviously NOT write about Seth Lakeman, The Oysterband or Show of Hands...and as I view this as discrimination and suppression, I want to know WHY!!!! I truly do not think this is too much to ask!!

This is causing chaos and it needs sorting!!!!!!!

NONE of my posts are breaking House Rules, because they are all being checked against the House Rules in the first place!!!

PLEASE TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON????????

YOU are causing these problems Mods....NOT ME!!!
I merely wanted to write about 'The Music That You Love' as I am permitted to do and encouraged to do by those very words on YOUR board...and yet....LOOK what is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
