Still, it was put up by an individual, and from what i read here, its an individual that disagreed with another's view on things. WDC put up a (crappy) website for the town, but tht will be the official one. This is nothing but someones project. The fact its open and everyone is allowed to have their say within reason is simply a rule this person has put forward. Should s/he disagree with whats being done, they will pull the plug. It was done once before, as i remember. Dont get me wrong, i love the idea of the site, and what it could be, and is in fact becoming (Slowly!). Its one of the reasons i keep coming back. But, what it all boils down too, is, someones name is above the door, and if something is done or said that s/he or his/her representatives (moderators) disagrees with, it will be removed. They may even discuss the post, even re-instating it, but the fact remains the final decision lies with one individual, and that individual is not officially a spokesperson of bedlington. My point being, its matterless if any of us disagree. This is a personal website with the facility for others to post comment. if those comments are removed, its really tough! the original poster has no right to have what they post published here. That decision lies in the hands of the site owner and his/her rep's. If this is not the case, and this site has some sort of official backing, i'd like to see it! Great work by the owner and mods, in my eyes. Just what the town needs, but there's nothing stopping someone opening Bedlington.net with the same setup and a completely differing set of rules. And as far as i can see, that site would be just as 'official'. Am i wrong?
