2) As OOF is a registered and accountable organisation, it would be deemed liable to prosecution if it allowed its members to discuss any illegal activities within its open forum.

Nothing illegal was being discussed, I simply stated that TT software is all over the net (and that was all that was said).
However if OOF are worried about the potential for being prosecuted, it may be prudent to edit the speed camera thread as at least one member stated that he would commit arson if he was ever caught by a camera (which could be deemed inciteful).
When you're done checking that one, the Kwik Fit thread contained numerous comments that could be deemed libellous so it might be an idea to pull that one as well

I do understand what you are saying, but talking about what goes on and actually doing it (or helping someone to do it) are 2 completely different things.

Personal opinions and a guy being an arse are commonplace these days, and trying to bring a prosecution on that basis is nigh on impossible - however, the two companies in Question, Tom Tom and Trafficmaster are exceptionally keen to throw around their weight when it comes to pirated software, as that is the single largest source of income on both companies, and from what I can see the discussion was "pruned" as OOF could not openly allow its members to discuss seeking alternative ways around legitamate software.

Pleae don`t start firing back with other threads that need pulling, thats just silly. Whilst I may agree with some of your comments also, we unfortunatly live in a world that is full of litigation, and we are no longer allowed to speak as freely and openly as we often feel we should.

I like the way this forum is monitored and run, its a friendly, safe and informative way of helping each other and discussing problems and solutions that can be of significant benefit to fellow Oofers around the globe - So let leave the Moderators alone, not attack them and let them keep OOf running the way it is.

The moderators have spoken on this issue, and this issue alone. Their word is final, as its their forum, not ours.

Couldn't agree more with you Dave.

Admin dont go to the lengths they do to insure oof survival for nothing, i am sure they have other things to do than monitor every post which they do for our benefit. If oof suffers legal proceedings they will presumably have to deal with it, not us, and presumably "we" could ultimately be closed down.

there is always the pm button for these more sensative issues....
