Just tested I never get to see their posts woohoo. Do they still see mine?
They can still see your posts and you can still see theirs if someone quotes them in a reply.

Then under your definition of free speech the UK, and everywhere else, has never had free speech.

Are you suggesting that those who were traced after making racially abusive comments to those three football players should not have been dealt with for this? If so, thank heavens we don't have a 'say whatever you like' version of free speech.

You wouldn't be the only one to think like this though, Matthew Wright is on record as saying that he believes that free speech should have no controls whatsoever.

This article looks at the call to get rid of online anonymity as a way to prevent inappropriate comments:

Generally yes, its called majority rule, I think you'll find its quite common.
The cause of many issues now is the minority trying to 'take precedence'.

What you refer to as "bullying/harassment/trolling" is also a matter of opinion, as is your assertion its (mis)judgement.

Exactly, which is why I don't think that complete freedom of speech is a good thing. We have the balance about right in this country.

Majority rule is fine, as long as vulnerable or oppressed minorities are catered for, which is happening now.

Hopefully these new laws will make it clearer what is acceptable and what isn't ie freedom of speech within defined parameters of acceptability. People will still be able to speak freely, but will have to be mindful of the feelings of others. The use of tact and mutual respect goes a long way.

I'm also hoping that dealing with scammers will be a priority too, as they initially seemed to reject this request.

I assume the role is voluntary and not a paid job? that being the case you obviously choose to be part of the team so therefore willingly accept the bad that comes with it.

You assume correctly.
However, that does not not mean they have to "accept the bad".
Anyone breaking the rules [T&C's] will find their participation curtailed.

I see the terms breached on a regular basis by certain members who have been here a long time and they are still here. I also had Maggy herself in my in box warning me about 1 member. Go figure
