Black Rat - Museum of Curiosity, by Harveyn on Nov 21, 2012 18:14:21 GMT 1, CG I can only repeat my earlier post.
I am personally not aware of the posts that were deleted or their content.
Hard to talk in a vacuum but I generally do not believe in censorship provided comments are not sexiest, racist, bigoted, homophobic, bullying in nature or overtly insulting towards an individual or group of people.
I am certainly in favour of warning forum members of previous bad experiences in dealing with individuals or organizations provided none of the above applies.
On the question of libellous comments I have no idea whether the administrator of this forum or indeed the moderators are vicariously liable for any such comments made if left in the public domain.
Perhaps whoever deleted the posts could brief the membership of this forum as to the reasons why? I am positive that they were deleted for all the right reasons.

There are shitloads of new members on here who would never be aware of any of this if the older members didn't speak out, especially the ones who were ripped off. They should be allowed their say. If their posts are deleted they should be given an explanation as to why.

I saw all the posts and had my own comments deleted and even though there was a comment that might have been inappropriate and perhaps needed to be retracted (IMO), I can't understand why any of it would need to be deleted?
Unless parties with a vested interest do have influence with the mods on the forum....?
Whichever way you slice it, it reflects badly on all those concerned - the moderator who deleted the posts and galleries.
It would have been best to have let the thread slip into obscurity on its own.
I really like Mike and BRP... but the modification and censorship of posts won't help his cause.

Black Rat - Museum of Curiosity, by Mister Frame Man on Nov 22, 2012 8:28:29 GMT 1, You would think it would be beneficial to every single member of this forum for the "deleter" to explain why they felt the need to delete.
Surely it would give us all an idea on how to conduct ourselves in the future!
I wonder how my children would grow up if I treated them the same way that we are being treated now?
Taking their things away, punishing them, but ignoring them when they ask why?

Black Rat - Museum of Curiosity, by timba82 on Nov 22, 2012 12:38:55 GMT 1, i noticed that yesterday as well. Busy as a bee Gary!
It's beyond a joke now. The moderator should be ashamed of themself if they are pulling strings for certain people.
Of course they would undoubtedly be getting something in return I'd imagine.
So whichever moderator did this would rather manipulate the forum and the way unsuspecting people perceive gallery's, than lay down the cold hard facts and name and shame.
Disrespectful, pathetic & deceiptful
out of principal i'm not letting this one slip

Black Rat - Museum of Curiosity, by Deleted on Nov 22, 2012 12:39:05 GMT 1, My guess is, you're barking up the wrong tree MFM - I also suspect the deletion of posts has nothing to do with anything said about James Golding, as other galleries and artists have been called out before on this forum without censorship. The deletion of posts imo has more to do with a certain moderators relationship with a certain gallery based on the art he has bought from said gallery.
I could be wrong (putting a caveat in as my backup), but I doubt it

Lahoda the morning after... but he didn't delete any post. maybe this time he got a different call from someone else and decided to act different? half measures?

It was Silky that deleted the posts.
There, finished, nothing has changed, its getting towards Christmas, and he always gets a little moody around this time of year.
There does not have to be a reason, there does not have to be a right or wrong
either accept that and get on with things, or carry on trying to get a response. Either way one thing is guaranteed, you will not get satisfaction.
Now on to more important stuff
I have this fucking immense signed kaws laptop case, if anyone.................................
Thankyou

Hate to say it folks but this is standard Banksy Forum censorship - this is why so many people have got angry and come and gone over the years.
It no secret that Silky makes a living from this forum (look at all the ads) which is why you have to take everything with a pinch of salt...sadly .info isnt what it used to be by a long shot but IMO alot of these problems would be solved if this was a closed private forum for members only (like many other forums out there)....but of course that would never happen because site traffic would be lower and therefore $$$ from revenues too...
