Aceman's Farewell To Bangbabes

Unfortunately you're not as knowlegeable as you think. Ofcom have recently examined material taken from this forum and sadly for you they did not refuse to examine it as you claim they would have done.

Ofcom have recently received complaints backed up by material taken from this forum, so the paranoia of Bang Babes is not pointless at all.

No, but people who want to make complaints to Ofcom are using the clips here as evidence, that's the point, as checking through this forum to find material to complain about is a lot easier and quicker than watching countless hours and hours of babe channels in the hope of finding something worth complaining about. Taking steps to avoid making material available to the complainers is not pointless, as you claim, but actually a highly sensible step.

So someone at Offcuts has sobered up and decided they have to protect the public morals. If i wanted someone to tell me you cant watch this and thats pornographic i would have got married. Sick and tired of all these people who seem to think they have to protect the public morals. So all the people at Offcuts only watch the shows as part of their jobs!! I think not. The babe channels are a shambles because of these idiots and there high morals. So much for freedom of choice! All the producers should get together and give Offcut two fingers. Close down all the babe channels and the taxman loses all that revanue. Dont think they would let that happen. Lets close down Offcuts and save loads of tax payer,s cash.

Look, what you're saying doesn't mak a lot of sense, admin. The only thing Ofcom require to investigate possible breaches is a written complaint. If what you're suggesting is true, then may I suggest you close this forum immediately - as the channels' continued existance will depend on it. If the visual evidence isn't there for these 'complainers', then the discussions are surely just as powerful. Someone says, "Did you see such and such a girl do such and such a thing?" - and by your own theory that's all that's needed. They don't need a clip to back it up. They have times and dates they can hand over to Ofcom, who in turn will ask the channel in question for the recordings covering that period.

So, as I say, if you have such concerns about people using this forum to gather information and evidence for their complaints, then not only do you need to stop the posting of clips, you need to eliminate 70% of the discussions that take place.

And how does someone make a written complaint unless they know there's something to complain about in the first place?

Is there any chance you could tell us which complaints?

Why don't you go back and read the whole of my post, instead of just the bits you think you need? Then perhaps you'll get your answer.

Are you saying they're demanding they be removed, or that they're part of the admin team here and can remove them in the same way the rest of admin can? If it's the latter, why were they made admin in the first place?

This is the answer
1) Bangbabes have requested the removal of some material from the forum, as has been stated elsewhere.
2) As the producer of that content, Bang Babes own the copyright, and therefore have the right to ask for the removal of their content from wherever they choose.
3) Bang Babes always retain the right to decide how their own broadcast material can be used and they could easily decide that the forum should not publish any of their material if they wanted to.
4) Neither admin nor any of the mods are employed by Bangbabes or by any other of the Babe companies. We are totally independent and do what we do for the best of the forum.

Many of us did not see the incident (both on TV and posted on here) that Bang Babes had requested to have the clips and screen caps removed.

However there is the ongoing discussion about the incident, the date, the time, the channel, what happened, who was involved. And the fact that Bang Babes have requested that the clips be removed should imply that they are aware that they violated certain aspects of the broadcast code on that night.

Is the natural progression to remove discussion about incidents like this? After all if someone wanted to make a complaint about this incident to ofcom they would have sufficient ammunition to do so without a visual record.
