I started a thread about Team America and had a link to
a .Real video (.RM), of Kin Jong II singing Lonely. I was rolling on the floor laughing.

Somebody deleted it, without comment.

Team America is not a political movie, its a satire, and offends everybody regardless of race, religion or political belief. so that can't be it.

Politically although, it could be offensive to North Korea, its a weak point, as nobody in North Korea has access to the Internet, accept for Kim Jong, and a few key aides.

Was a link to a real video the issue.

I have seen discussion about other movies on FOO, why not discuss Team America.

And if somebody is going to delete this thread as well, then please answer my question, so I don't commit a TOS violation again ;)

Team America ... offends everybody ... so that can't be it.

I haven't even heard of the movie (I lead a sheltered life), but if it offends everybody, then that could very possibly be it.

And if somebody is going to delete this thread as well, then please answer my question, so I don't commit a TOS violation again ;)

Do you mean like violating TOS [webmasterworld.com] #24? ;)

3000-5000 msgs a day in 600-1000 active threads a day.

60 moderators. If each thread or msg that were adjusted (about 60 a day) were stickied:

avg: 6 minutes per sticky=300 mins per day for first contact email.
avg: 12 minutes follow up stickies 500 mins. (every sticky on a mod action *will* require an average of 2.4 followups)

That is an avg of 900 mins moderator time per day - or over 15hours per day, or 4.5 days per week.

In reality, the time situation involved is actually much more than that.

>lgn1: Team America World Police
>lgn1: explains why the Internet is banned in North Korea.

a: We don't do politics on WebmasterWorld.
b: We link to raw html files only. The risk of linking to viruses or other "probablems" is far too great.
c: Senior members. (we give them the benefit of the doubt and know they know the system ;-)

I was amazed that the thread on Google censorship in China was allowed. Some of the discussions in that thread, could have worried some of you Chinese members, as WW could have been blocked.

Actually FOO is only supposed to discuss Internet related topics in its charter, however half of it threads talk about anything but.

I would consider a video of a puppet Kim Song IL singing Lonely strongly in the humour category and weak on the political.

But like Brett said, the moderators are so busy, that
they can't spend any time on one given thread, and this leads to inconsitency on what violates the TOS and what is allowed.

The only linking to raw html files, is a good point, regarding viruses. Stupid Stupid me :)

I didn't see the html text only url clause in the TOS, but it should be added definitely.

WebmasterWorld is a great forum, full of really intelligent, highly knowledgable, and kindly gregarious individuals that help solve hundreds of problems for each other every day, for FREE.

Let's try to keep this in mind and maintain some perspective when deciding just how upset to be that the people in charge clipped a link about a puppet show.
