Peoples feelings can be hurt just as easily by posts on a board as they can be by carelessly made remarks in 'real life'. It's equivalent to talking about someone as if they're not in the same room when, in fact, they are. This is why your posts and others of a similar nature, have been removed.

We're fed up with models who take the time to post on these forums in a positive spirit, being picked at for decisions that are their own to make and no one else's.

All too often these points are made as if they are never going to be seen by the models they are directed at, even when they're posting on the very same thread! If you can't grasp the basic civilities of posting on a forum, that is not our concern.

You call it censorship. We call it basic good manners.

I agree with you, models are real peoples and pointless remarks can be very hurtful. What one person doesn't like may be heaven for another.

Never forget CH3,this is a Dictatorship and as such the FAQ is always a work in progress,with everybodies best interests at heart of course ;-)

In the end if you've got something to get of your chest its easy enough to post a general thread like turn ons - turn offs,boob jobs..are they a thing of the past with out mentioning a performers name specifically and still make your point

cheers

I think CH3 ought to remember what was said to Saul on the road to Damascus.

If being civil is a disease then, yes, we have it.

Ask yourself this: What is the distinguishing feature of these forums?

It is that the models who are the reason people visit these boards, actually contribute. On how many forums dedicated to performers or personalities do fans get the chance to interact with the people they're posting about? Answer - very few.

If your apparently inalienable right to pass critical remarks about someone is so precious to you, by all means express yourself somewhere else. That is not our concern. What is our concern is maintaining the forums in a way that we are happy with. And what makes us happy is to keep *everyone* who posts here feeling comfortable - including the models.

As I indicated, yours was one of more than half-a-dozen such posts, some expressed in very gratuitous manner. Your own contribution was thoughtless rather than malicious but it all added to an unpleasant scenario.

The fact is, models who used to contribute to these forums on a regular basis no longer do so because they were worn down by the constant drizzle of negative comments aimed at them on a personal level. Perhaps we could/should have been more robust in tackling this issue in the past. But we are where we are and that is what we are now attempting to do.

Guys

The admin are 100% correct about some models being fed up with the way they've been criticised here and have stopped posting. I know about this happening, so a few of you are driving away the girls many still want to know about.

If a constructive and well worded criticism is made, I'm sure there wouldn't be a problem. If a post is just an attack on the model, then it deserves to be removed.
