Don't be silly, eagle_si, that would involve Ofcom using common sense and having a sense of perspective.

I am flabbergasted that a single complaint leads to all the crap that these channels have to go through just to air! One vote! Unreal. Imagine what would happen if they received 2 complaints?! Probably not allowed to look into the camera as that suggests a bit of hanky panky, and loose fitting clothing, with nothing higher than ankles and no cleavage or arms on display!
Ofcom must be so bored in their offices if 1 vote leads to this kind of vendetta against the channels

It's discrimination at its most blatant. There's not a single other programme on the mainstream channels that Ofcom would investigate on the strength of one complaint... not a one!!

as I pointed out in the second last sentence in my post ...

Sorry, eagle_si, I stopped reading at the point at which I quoted as I was getting too annoyed at the utter madness of Ofcom's workings.

Did anyone ever see that recent episode of Sexcetera which detailed rough sex in barns with violent women? Quite a few uncensored vaginal shots, and completely uncensored penis shots, and one woman even boasted about how when her male slave complained about her being too tame, she took the headboard off of her bead and smacked him in the head with it.

No, but I did see an episode of Dirty Sanchez where one of the members pissed over the head of another. No pixalating or blurring - just his cock on full view while he pissed on his mate's head.

Yet that is clearly beyond R18 as humilarition and degradation is banned by the BBFC. Oh, unless it is in context. And let me guess what the context was - humilating his mate?

Ofcom have clearly stated that what they assess is whether there has been a breach of the rules, and that can occur even if the complaints are few or even nonexistent.

There is no boredom there, this is an orchestrated policy of intimidation which has chipped away at the content structure these channels are able to produce. The aim is that through over-regulation they will ultimately become commercially non-viable.
Ofcom and the government recognises that there is no legal basis for the proscription of this type of content - so must continue with its non representative investigations into solitary complaints.
In the interests of transparency (one of the core values of the quango on its establishment), I would be glad to see published the individual complaints - anonymity could be provided, if necessary.
I do not believe that the basis Ofcom is working on is correct. Nor do I believe that the complaints are genuine or that Ofcoms complaints procedure is robust enough. As an independent regulator it is sorely lacking in integrity.
