The Evening Herald - Censorship

Preventing AFT supportive comments?

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

It seems to be the case!

Anyone else tried to post a AFT supportive comment?

"Sorry, failed to add comment : Service Unavailable"



We need as many to try as possible, this could be one for the Press Complaints Commission!

i like to think its due to a service error im going to try and post on another article to see.

Report back soon

Sian Davies is out of the office until Monday 22nd April. Quel surprise!

I tried it just was hanging with a 'validating message' window.
Ended up emailing them instead.

I have tried 4 times and Knecht has as well, there's something that stinks about this, it's funny how comments dissing the Trust are being allowed, I really can't think who maybe making them!

sorry its said adding comment but then turn out to it could add any so i guess its a service issue.

I wonder if they've set up their word filter in a clever way to filter out or moderate posts that contain specific words.

I can think of a few that would certainly block their filter.

In the absence of being unable to post comments and if you email Sian Davies - with your views on the development it may be an idea to cc [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

i see 2face and smithy are out in force on there.

They truly are not fans of the club but fans of corporate suits

It simply beggars belief that any fan of PAFC could oppose something that will benefit the Club. It just proves even more that these people have no regard for the Club what-so-ever.

Still validating comment. I would naively hope that it's a technical fault rather than censorship, but the pro Akkeron spin that is evident in most recent relevent articles suggest that its at best an unhappy coincidence.

Comment still validating after about twenty minutes now. Slow typist.

same here

one has slipped through the net i see. My is still awaiting approval.

The anti-Akkeron arrow isn't accepting positive clicks - fact.

I've had an email to say that they have technical problems. I've told them to expect a deluge of comments when that's been resolved. Maybe the technical problem is the little rule they've set up to not accept dissenting posts

Newsdesk email

Thank heavens for that!!!! I was beginning to think that it was me and my jumpers that they had taken against.

TBF they are clearly experiencing technical difficulties. Their whole site was down a short while ago. Maybe it was overwhelmed by the broadly anti-responses.

Convenient that - added to the fact that Sian Davies is away until Monday.

An email or 10 complaining / putting the Herald straight on the fact the "community football pitch" is earmarked for development already might be handy. That's twice their reporting on this subject has left a lot to be desired.

Just tried again and got dangerously close...... validating....... adding comment...... and then 'internal server error'. I'm going to email them again and paste my comment into the email to get them to add it for me if necessary. I had a nice bit in there too about Michael Foot spinning in his grave

Well done. I ought to try again really but it gets so boring saying the same things over and over again
