Who sensoprts the replies on this website, and on what basis?

The site is monitored by the Answerbank Editor who works on behalf of FrontOfMind, the site's parent company. Editing is more or less limited to libelous or defamatory observations, based on the premise that the site is a democracy, but it is used and read by all ages, so some 'adult' content is removed. Other than that, people are able to answer questions and express opinions more or less as they wish.

ps. Andy Hughes (aka AB worker/editor) if this is a democratic site then how come the voices of the "masses" (i.e. us contributors) asking for changes to be made to the site, are never heard?

[andy hughes]

Darth, I am no longer an AB worker / editor, and haven't been so for about three years now. I too am a contributore with the same rights and priveldges as anyone else, but no more, based on my previous employment here.I don't doubt that requests for format changes are heard, as to wether they are acted upon may depend on a variety of factors - cost, technicaldifficulties, and so on, but i wouldn't dream of speaking on behalf of the site's Ed, or owners, to whom such enquiries should be addressed. I do believe the site to be democratic in the true sense - freedom of speech brings certain responsibilities, and within those perameters, we all get to bang on about what ever.Hope this assists.
