1- I do not know when the threads will be back as I haven't found time yet to check everything. It is possible more threads will be checked.

2- I made the decision to set the threads to "invisible" although I informed the other moderators. With the exception of one request a few months ago, that I agreed with, I have not been asked to remove any threads/posts by CFC. However as always if I was asked I would, after appropriate discussion, comply; if you want a completely independent forum then go elsewhere. I have always said that if the Club asks for information about those posting (and they have not) then I will supply it; in some cases the Defamation Act 2013 compels this.

3- For the moment I am not going to answer. I hope all I do associated with Chesterfield FC is for the benefit of the Club. Sometimes it is beneficial to protect supporters for the wider good.

Personally I find the above disturbing.

A) It is clear these threads are being removed to close down debate

B) If DA wants to run the forum tell him to put his hand in his pocket and fund it. Otherwise, stay out.

C) I'm not familiar with the Data Protection Act. But either way, I find it alarming that Davros is happy to pass on personal details of posters to the club hierachy.

D) Nothing good ever comes from from self-appointed dictators shutting down debate for 'the wider good'.

Some people love the power and to be in control. Why else would you do something that is supposedly hours worth of ball ache to go through and have the threat of legal action supposedly constantly hanging over your head for free?

Let folk dig their own grave if they're stupid enough to do so and cut all your ties with the message board. It's blatantly obvious he has ties with the current cfc regime as he rarely posts on here to clarify any situations, just the usual secret squirrel PMs. A little embarrassing really.

I don't think Pete does it for power and control, but more because he likes being involved and doing something for the club.

I think that someone, somewhere has been badly advised.

It's only natural to assume that any individual or company would want to keep negative press coverage to a minimum & would seek to do everything possible to ensure that's the case. However, litigation would almost certainly be counterproductive.

Judging by posts on other social media platforms recently, this board and its contributors is the least of their worries.

Sadly, the club is in the middle of it all.

How long before CFSS mkII has to pick up the pieces?

Sadly, or maybe not, I don't subscribe to any social media, so is it possible mate to say what they say?

That's the thing - this shouldn't be 'for the club'.

The two are one and the same to all intents and purposes currently.

I see your angle.

[Benno Spire]

If people or businesses have nothing to hide or not done anything wrong then they have nothing to worry about what people post on social media.
My view has always been, if they are talking about me they are leaving someone else alone.
Some people need to get on with their jobs.
Unless, of course they do have something to hide
Pity there is not a local consortium of Chesterfield supporting business owners or people with money willing to come together.

I wonder if there is any connection in the fact that our new friend BS (that's his initials on here by the way, not the acronym of what he posts ;-p) hasn't been on since Friday and the recent 'developments' leading to some threads being sieved?

We know he's been strongly defending DB (many posters will understand or be able to make a very good guess why) and we know he's been looking various posters up on here, on Twitter/Facebook as well as LinkedIn, too (linkedin records who's viewed your profile assuming they have their own account, which he does).

Obviously, I could be wrong and he's just an innocent bystander, who'll dissapear off here, as quickly as he reappeared.

I don't know the chap personally but I'm told there's obscure corner of the world wide web with an interesting photograph on it.

CFC related obviously. Could be nothing mind and I've never seen it anyway so there you go

It's an almighty, almighty mess and what's the common denominator .....well I'll let you lot decide. It beggars belief it really does.
Roll on the next AGM, although I think things will come to a head a lot sooner than that....I've not overstepped any mark there have I?

Perhaps my point wasn't clear.

I wasn't suggesting no moderation. My post was in response to the suggestion that it needed moderation by specific individuals.

And not after pressure from club officials which in my opinion happens and has happened

Pete needs to decide which side he's on. Turnipe or the fans
