I'm not aware that Ofcom ever publish such information. About the only information they do provide is the number of complaints made against a particular show.
When making a complaint via their website you must start by giving address details, presumably followed by name (I've never made a complaint so can't be sure). They could in theory use this information to check a persons id, and see if someone is a serial complainer and perhaps discount their complaints, but lets be honest, when it comes to the babeshows do you really think they would do that? Any complaint is fair game for them to look for an excuse to spank the channels it seems.

This is a discussion section on a discussion forum, and as is so often pointed out elsewhere, everyone is entitled to express their opinion, whether we agree with it or not, whether it is a majority opinion or not.
In this case, the poster is clearly trolling for a response and some attention, and people are playing into his hands, just ignore him and move on.
Besides, given the relatively small number that have signed the petition, what evidence do you have that "ofcom are out of touch and living in victorian times" is actually the majority view of the forum?
And telling someone to "fuck off the forum" because you disagree with their view is at best childish, at worst, it's tantamount to bullying.

RE: Ofcom Discussion - Scottishbloke - 07-07-2012 19:44
Rammy I've been on this forum a long time and let me tell you something, never have I seen as much backtracking going on as much I have seen recently. I have fought long and hard against the oppressors at ofcom and have supportered the petition all the way since day 1 unlike yourself ofcourse. I will make no further comment, my opinion still stays the same. Maybe you should take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself just how honest and geniune your posts are. Enough said

The results it would yield would likely make for rather surprise reading. It wouldn't surprise me if the person has gone to the adult section to look for something to complain about.
Very inconsistent and thats just not good enough in a regulator. It gives them huge arbitrary power to slam the rules down then they feel like it. Would it be acceptable for the taxman to charge 20 or 25% depending on how they felt? Or for shops to routinely stay open until 6pm on Sunday unless someone had upset the Mayor?
Who are the complainers? Who tunes into an adult channel then expresses surprise that it shows women with their baps out whether it is at 9pm or 3am?
Antiporn campaigners and rival channels. Neither group representative of public opinion.

Oi Rammy, stop picking on scottishbloke you big bully.
It's little wonder that people are leaving the forum in droves and signing up to the gentler world of the Grapevine gardening forum http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine/forum.php.

Maybe his application to the beeb was more than just ambition as well, maybe he saw that the writing was on the wall for ofcom, and was trying to jump ship before it got disbanded or split up or whatever.

RE: Ofcom Discussion - Scottishbloke - 08-07-2012 17:56
First of all in responce to Dan, I can pretty much hold my own on this forum and I'll stand my ground with anybody.
In responce to why I was so pissed off with Tumble_Drier's comments is because it brought the entire credibilty and integrity of this subject into question in what has been a long hard struggle against the power's at ofcom. Eccles for example started up a petition only to have certain forum members doing their best to make a mockery of it all.
Now for all these people who have turned their back on this petition shame on you. The word Judas springs to mind here.
Let's be clear here and I'm pretty much getting sick to death having to justify why the ofcom threat should be taken very seriously. Ofcom can and will close down any Adult Channel they see fit without warning or notice, they will issue fines and sanctions for the channels also without warning or any notice given. They have rules in place which are so draconian that you'd think we were still living in the dark ages.
Second of all it's bad enough when we have seasoned forum member's going against the struggle against ofcom and then worse still we have a relatively new forum member in the name of Tumble_Drier posting what he did without thinking of the repercussions and anger that a post like his would provoke. What an insult to have to read his trolling comments.
I would personally like to thank the majority of the forum members who have remained sincere to the cause and for us to never give up or turn our back on what will be a long struggle which hopefully in the end we'll all prevail.
I don't think I can make my point anymore crystal clear. Fight ofcom and fight censorship and be sincere in your agenda.
RE: Ofcom Discussion - Tumble_Drier - 08-07-2012 18:11
Clearly "Scottishbloke" only wants people to post if their opinions are in line with his. That sounds very much like the people he claims to be "fighting" against to me.
Anyway i've said my piece. You can carrying on venting your spleen now.
RE: Ofcom Discussion - shankey! - 08-07-2012 18:32
and here was me thinking this thread was supposed to be trying to stop ofcom ruling any more sanctions and opposing the ones they have set in place , its more like their fan club now !
