Yes, I know that a ban has been imposed on the forum re pets for sale. I dont agree with it, but can understand admin doing this at the very least for an easy life - IIRC, it was on the basis of a well fail poll and a Christian Voice style assault by a blinkered minority of slightly unhinged social inadequates. IMHO blates innit.


Now its in place, I am assuming ED is now a sanctuary for pets and the scourge of people selling live things has been banished forever - what else should be banned from the forum ?


mostly Genuine question BTW, disparaging broad brushstrokes aside

Serious "ideal world" answer: nothing that is legal should be banned, obvs.


Semi-serious answer: I would ban businesses being able to ban discussion of themselves. BUT also, anyone persistently behaving like an outright cock towards a business (The now deleted Begging Bowl thread was a prime eg) would likewise be banned and the business in question sent a picture of that poster's severed head in a box, as recompense.

Point of order, would pimping not be the hiring out of prostitutes? The hirers are not the pimps, I think.

Strictly speaking animal sales aren't banned "Animals can only be sold if there's a link to them listed another reputable website."


Hopefully it's a compromise between the fundamental animalist types who want no one to sell animals full-stop and those careful ones who want to sell animals that they've cared for. By making sure they have the animals listed on reputable site means they've gone to the trouble of doing it properly and not just got their Staffie up the duff to make a few quid to buy more Berkeleys and Special Brew.

    • I completely agree.   Pride used to be in Brixton and Brockwell Park before it outgrew it and moved to Finsbury Park.  Quite reasonable to accept limitations and respond properly  
    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found. 
    • Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.      
    • Campfire on from about 7pm on Fridays - pop along and join me - I always have some Small Beer available.
