Subject - Censorship by MCC and eastserve.

ReplyPosted : (Tuesday 13th May 2008 ) By - Ace. (Unregistered User) Could we have censorship by eastserve and MCC? . I have known technoboy for years and all the hard work he has done for eastserve,I was shocked to know that he has had his posts censored,after all these years weve never really seen eye to eye but ive always found technoboy very honest and would not give statements that are untrue.I think eastserve and sean magonagle should listen to what technoboy posts and stop removing posts that they dont agree with.After all this so called website is for the commnunity or so it goes .But ive always found that eastserve and the council use it for their own ends.(propaganda) to brainwash the local communities about all the great things that MCC are suppossed to be doing for east manchester.Like B-OF-THE-BANG that most people didnt want but got anyway and what a waste of ""OUR"" MONEY at the time i said that this structure would shake itself to bits but the council and its engineers said that it was tested in a wind tunnel at 150mph? i said at the time that that was flawed .But nobody listened and look how that was wasted money,the same goes for all the ""Appartments"" that i said all those years ago would fail .People want houses not "flats" appartments..the big sell went on in manchester to sell us appartments to make the developers big money and make it look like manchesters council did this for us all.The great ideals have fell on their backsides people in east manchester want homes not fashion statements (appartments)and pavement cafes that make our council look good.

Censorship by MCC and eastserve.

Hi David
I have posted 2 threads on the forum and they have mysteriously disappeared, I have emailed yourselves, no reply. Does that not seem very strange to you, could it be someone high up has had a word in your ear.
If has you say no censorship is in place then put my posts back for open discussion, and allow free speech, unless off course they contained untruths or were against your guidelines, which I don't believe they were.
There is a East Manchester cover up, and someone is painting a very rosey picture for investors and people they wish to entice into the area. Nothing wrong with that except why openly lie about little things, that could not possibly impact on their plans.
This is why people need to be free to air their views, perhaps if proper discussion was allowed and peoples views considered, then I might be more in favour.
Basically stop trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes, and you will be liked a lot more instead of being attacked.
Cheers
Technoboy

Censorship by MCC and eastserve.

Hi Everyone
First let me apologize to MCIN for thinking something underhanded was going on, this is obviously not the case. I have been assured censorship is not in place, and this is purely a case of software gone mad. What I mean by that is there is a gliche with the website software.
For some reason posts on the forum are getting lost in the system, and until the cause is tracked down, I for one will show a little patience while this is done.
Always happens to the important posts don't you think, did MCC develope this software (only joking)
So get ready for round two Sean, see you soon.
Cheers
Technoboy

Thanks for understanding.

I have just taken over moderating the Eastserve discussions and am finding my way around them. I've not really used them before so I'd be interested to know what other people think.

I've discovered a few problems here and there which I'm talking to our web developer person to try and sort out as soon as possible.

Hi,

I've just discovered that the posts are still on Eastserve under the Manchester Community Reporters forum.
