The worst thing about Ofcom is they full well know these complaints are malicious rather than genuinely well motivated. Funny how complainers always happen to be on the 900 number channels at the precisely moment of incident.
There should be change to the conditions for investigation, a minimum number of complaints such as 10 or 20. A single complainer out to get a channel would at least have to work harder.

Thing is, it doesn't even need one complaint, some of the infringements are investigated following Ofcom's own monitoring, so having a minimum number of complaints is a no-go.

Ofcom do seem to have been lenient with Storm over the audio recording failure. They could have thrown the book at them.
What is annoying is that adult channels are allowed no leeway when there is a minor visual breach of the rules. Every single time channels are found in breach, and often warned that a repeat could lead to a fine. Even if they admin the offence, put new procedures in place, send staff on training, sack people, even if they report themselves like Playboy did a while back.
Other channels make similar noises and the case is marked "Resolved" meaning they are weally weally sowwy and it wont happen again, honest.
Some channels make far more serious breaches, quoting religious rules about killing people, broadcasting blatant onesided material during elections or encouraging people not to take anti cancer medicine, and they get treated leniently.

can you imagine it if ofcom were to rule the roost in the house of commons and fine mps for every "breach" they get up to ? the amount in fines would pay the nhs bill for a year,how they expect a live tv channel not to make mistakes is beyond reason ,being investigated for a reaction by one of the models swearing or a slip of a costume is a joke,especially when compared to other live tv shows , who practically get away with it on a daily basis

Well, big-ED has missed out on the BBC job for a second time, so looks like we are stuck with him for a while longer :

One word that springs to mind " SHIT "!!! It might not be the most constructive post I've posted, but that sums up what I think about it
RE: Ofcom Discussion - continental19 - 22-11-2012 15:30
Well once again the door had been slammed in our faces one again due to the fact that Ed Richards, didn't get the job at the BBC!! Just when we all thought there was light at the end of the tunnel only for the end of the tunnel to cave in
So where does that leave us all? Well as far as I'm concerned 2012 is a year I want to forget in a hurry, after ofcoms interference, I'm just hoping that 2013 will be a more positive step in the right direction concerning our babe channels, when is Ofcom going to allow us the freedom to choose what we want to watch in our own homes, instead of acting like bloody dictators!!
I just have this gut feeling that while the Dictator Ed Richards is sitting behind his desk over looking the Thames at Ofcom HQ nothing much is gonna change, however we must never give up hope we must all keep the faith

If he took over Comet he'd probably ban the sale of TVs because children might see naughty things on them.

First up my first reaction to ED not getting the BBC job is oh fuck, but I will look at the positives on this. ED has obviously got pissed off wielding the axe at ofcom and clearly no longer has the appetite for the job anymore and is wanting out. I wonder enough to turn a blind eye to perhaps a really good uncensored show.
Christmas time and I also believe a lot of places are looking for extra staff. For example Tesco's and Asda's. On a more serious note surely his position at ofcom should be looked at, he clearly has no loyalty anymore. Maybe they should demote him to coffee boy.
To answer continental's answer what 2013 brings is anybodys guess. Who knows the amount of money ED has anyway could prompt him to hand in his resignation, I mean he's hardly going to be at ofcom forever, he will be replaced if this organisation isn't scrapped before then.
Another theory could be that ofcom are in their last days and all have been given notice, I mean with the UK under constant scrutiny from the rest of Europe scrapping this miserable censor might have already been decided for 2013.
Let's not let this latest letdown defeat us or leave us feeling pessimistic. More twists and turns will surely follow in our fight for greater freedom. In a democracy anything is possible and hope is something that ofcom can never take away from us.
