From my knowledge of the online safety bill and of this forum, I can't see any reason why it would have to close. I don't know anything about RTG so no idea why they might have to close because of it.

RTG have a massive userbase compared to us, and unless it's changed, have in some forums allowed more questionable content. They've mentioned this before, when their advertisers have taken issue with some content.

There's no doubt we'll have to change some things around, but I can't see why it'd lead to the forum closing down.

About time.

I wish the Online Safety Act would regulate further about the discussion of Coast Road services on message boards such as this, and the needless suggestions about the reallocation of double-deckers from Consett depot.

I will be writing to my local councillors, member of parliament, member of youth parliament, and regional mayor about this pressing issue, advocating for the forum to be shut down with prejudice.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I willing to pay subs to keep this afloat ( that's what i read as the real reason it was brought up on RTG) onlyif the LIKE BUTTON is reinstated!

I believe the issues with RTG is there's some users on there who are politely arseholes and they fear that they'll go on a vendetta just to cause trouble and they don't have the resources to deal with it if they're strict with actually enforcing the act. It's Ofcom though so that won't be happening.

It's all on the moderating sense where they're problems are as it all has to be done quickly - it's very vague though what that is and there has to be appeals systems and all sorts of nonsense which with a board that size obviously comes with problems.

Not to mention their moderating is currently a bit lax let's say which caused the advertising problems, believe it was some muppets spreading their conspiracy theories that triggered that.
