counterproductive moderation.

Well duh, that's why the police officer is in trouble - for being racist towards someone. It was completely relevant to the news article and appeared in main stream media. Over-moderation, again :/

EDIT: What's amusing is that the thread is now completely pointless. Removing the video has created more posts about why it was removed than what the thread is about. And they tell members off for making threads go off topic

I really don't see what's hard to understand. There was inappropriate content in the video, and so it was removed. The thread has not in any way drifted of topic and the last few posts have not even mentioned the video. I will say no more on the matter.

I beg to differ.

In the past six posts there was one reference to the video, and that was by you.

Delude yourself then, I am seeing a lot of posts just wittering on about it being removed. The video was the reason for the thread, and without it there is no evidence. It's no more inappropriate than that Chinese Girl being run over. But as you said - you will say no more on the matter for you're just a forum moderator - a robot void of forming an appropriate response other than "It's in the rules"

The last 6 out of 20+ posts? Oh dear... You're trying to weave evidence out of thin air.

Guys what on earth is making you think that racist content is acceptable to be posted on the forum? It is never allowed and just because its relevant to the news that does not mean its an exception. The video was not included in the original post and discussion about the news was happening before the video was posted, so that proves the video isn't needed for a discussion to continue.

Depends on context, a word that very few seem to understand. It wasn't even "on the forum", you have to press play and, as permitted, read a warning before watching, which would of sufficed - again, something people seem to overlook. The original post was uninteresting and flaccid as far as reporting goes, real reporting goes straight to the source to create more interesting discussions.

That's because most people saw the video externally anyway and everyone talking about it would have seen the video, thus defeating the point of the removal. But of course bureaucracy here is everything, so I won't argue .

It doesn't matter if theres 50 odd warnings before the video, the fact is the video contained racist content and habbox doesn't approve of that content being posted on the forum.

Oh thats okay then, everyones seen it already so why should we bother removing it!

It doesn't work like that. If you want to watch it via an external source and discuss it after in the thread then that is fine, but the content will not be provided on the forum.
