I have some questions I need clarification on in terms of what the actual rules are pertaining to posting on the UK board?
1) Are the moderators of the UK board allowed to determine and choose who is allowed or is not allowed to post on the UK board?
Yes.
So for example are Simple Simon and Bigmc within their rights to say "I don't want you Shizzo or Wolfox to post on the UK board and if you do regardless of the contents of your posts we will simply delete your posts etc"!
Yes.
We created their board so that the UK guys have the green light regarding their creative content and all material surrounding that board.
The same forum-wide rules apply to that board, but they are given certain freedoms regarding their content. If they do not find material worthy of being posted there or find that any material detracts from their overall purpose, they have the right to remove the material.
If the answer is Yes, then effectively you are giving them an indirect form of "timeout power" and through the deleting of posts they are effectively able to control who can or can't post there, if so are other moderators on other boards within their rights to do the same?
This is an entirely legitimate and valid question which needs to be answered by Ron or OMR and I want to bring it to the boards attention.

The way we see it, they petitioned for a UK sub-forum that could serve as a good medium for the UK members to share material that is particular to their region of the world, filled with their distinct humor and spin on bodybuilding.
They asked for the forum, provided us with a list of moderators and promised to follow the basic rules.
As far as we see it, they have held that board to high standards. We don't have a problem with their actions. They have a "zero tolerance policy" regarding offenders on their board. We respect their wishes.
So far, it looks to be running smoothly.
