Your message didn't really add much tho did it? It's meant to be a discussion board.

It was a comment adding to the reaction of zero points from the public vote. Is that not what they were discussing?

It's bizarre, as if they're monitoring everything posted on both forums all day every day ready to spring into action as soon as anything remotely critical of the BBC appears.

Are you thinking of Carl Waring? I don't think it's him. Cando I think is in the industry.

They deleted it and gave me a warning, and then someone else posted the same news with no source or comment. Needless to say, I reported the new post too - if I deserved a warning, they definitely did. At least I posted a source. You'd think I'd posted a spam link, but it was definitely on topic.
