{quote} I think you'll find it has less to do with "truth" (which everybody sees differently, anyway), and more to do with what furthers (or jeopardizes) advertisers and click revenue. FF is first and foremost a commercial enterprise, and the terms and conditions ("focus on trading...... no bickering, nationalism, racism, politics, religion, personal or commercial agendas") that all members agree to, give the admins plenty of scope to censor however they see fit. What is thought to be profitable does not have to be fair, democratic, or even rational....
Fair enough, if FF is just a trading forum, but there is a news section where most articles posted have nothing to do with trading and some are quite provocative. They invite comments giving the impression that they operate freedom of speech. Then of course they will get the range of opinions, which as you say doesn't sit very comfortably with the advertisers, so they go censoring. It's duplicitous and that is the problem I have with this whole charade.

I am still here because I have made friends, but as I said before, I do feel disillusioned. Now, if we can all move, lock, stock and barrel to another place, I'm all for it and I will stick a shout on ThunderHeart's profile to let him know. Does anyone have any ideas?

Incidentally, Lego removed its advertising from the Daily Mail because the Daily Mail criticised the three appeal court judges who sided with the Remainers regarding triggering Article 50. I say, good for the Mail; you have to stick up for what's right and not be a tart to the Establishment. So for that poor stance by Lego, we are no longer buying Lego (believe me, we used to buy a lot of the stuff) and Legoland can stick it too. Did you know that by weight, Lego is more expensive than a MacBook?!

Happy New Year to all.

{quote} on here people report you too the moderator and if the moderator decide to he will give you a COC and if it keeps happening you get your membership revoked. as jen101 said their is a very clear biased on here thunderheart may have had his membership revoked for comments related to 9/11 which were base in reality but are not nice to hear about but a trader named gatorinla on a thread named (the swamp) posted this on page 377 post 7537 (I decided to leave this out from fear of getting my membership revoked LOL) which I think is much more offensive...
Thanks For the tip. I went to that site and I see what you mean. I especially found it funny that at the starting page he has your name circled in red. So how does one get a red flag?

Very well said Jen. I was wondering the same thing before I read your post. If this site is so adamant about enforcing this Code of conduct policy, then why do they post stuff that is not related to financial and trading? What is with all the Trump and political articles? Seems like the creators of this site practice a double standard.

To get a little red flag by your name, you need lots of followers and the easiest way to do that is to start a thread in Trading Systems entitled "How to make 10,000% a month," then fill it up with bullshit for the sheep to hang onto your every word. Many of them will worship the ground you walk on and will subscribe to you. There you have it.

Seems like a lot of work just for a Token prize and special privileges. Fame isn't everything if that is the standard motive behind such endeavors.

On another note, I am glad I found this site, lots of interesting characters here. I just want to wish everyone a prosperous New Year and may the force be with you all!

If you are who I think you might be, then you're a bloody idiot and Happy New Year to you too. If you're not, then Happy New Year and welcome to The Hell Rabbit Hole.

A British Brothel. Go straight to the comments; it's hilarious.

I have just read some of the bizarre requests and I think it's just a practical joke by some guy's with more money than sense and just thinks it's funny to pay unattractive women to do weird things like this ( 'I have one guy who likes me just to sit and have a cigarette. I sit there in very sexy underwear,' she explains. 'Another request was could I eat three pizzas, then they measure my stomach and see if I’ve got any bigger) I mean come on that's just funny his doing it for a laugh probably when pissed and this just confirmed it for me ('We’ve had some absolutely stunning ladies in the past who weren’t busy then you’ve got ones who aren’t as pretty who absolutely smash it) I think by absolutely smashing it they really mean she was more comic to mock

this is why am so happy we live I a free society

am 100% convinced this guy just did this as some kind of dare just to see the women react I do not think this is the normal going ons in a brothel these people lives are just one big practical joke and they do not even know it classic British humour ('Some guys come in and you think, "Gosh he's fit!" and then, when you get him upstairs, he's got his mother's knickers and tights on under his jeans and you think, "All right then")

ok does anyone want to help me start a gofundme so I can get a gopro and go up and down the UK tolling brothel and than sell the reactions from bemuse workers this is what is happening at this brothel am laughing my head off right now how do peoples live end up like this?????
