Actually I misread it, garethom said about the kiddie drugs. I still haven't seen it (can't be arsed to hunt for it so if someone would be so kind as to link it), but it may well have slipped through the net or (as I would have) been deliberately left as long as we can allow until reported or in obvious breach of the rules. As for the cat getting washed I did see that (as I have seen on many forums) and didn't touch it, I can only assume it was reported by another member and thus edited in response.
I'm curious as to what people expect? If we leave the forum alone, you get about 5/6 members (who i can probably name) post the most disgusting and inane shit on earth on the forum. The 5 active mods on the forum try to respond to every report and keep the more unruly members in check on a forum where there are 60k registered members. We try to please as many as possible by leaving what we can get away with and only editing stuff that is either blatantly rude or offensive or going to get Ivan in trouble or has been reported. We don't deliberately edit people's opinions, no matter how fucking arrogantly or maliciously they post them (unless it's bigoted or libelous). In fact save for the porn, death, mutilation links and pics, we let most everything slide.
We have to consistently deal with people whinging, pissing and moaning at us, cuss our good names down on the forum and out. It's a completely perkless job except that the forum runs a bit smoother. yet certain man go on like the forum is their one place to interact with other humans and how dare we censor that.

(this is the gif thread)
EDIT - just seen your response, yeah there are laws, and as soon as I find the thread I'll have to remove it instead of just letting it be, like I would prefer to.
