I don't see why people should refrain from airing their views just for the potential approval of some on other forums. Its not the responsibility of posters to be place marketeers for Forest Hill.
I hope BBW is happy with se26 forum and the ED Forum. The latter I believe was recently the centre of considerable police attention and TV and press coverage following murder threats on the site hence its little wonder that moderators of such sites want to pre empt and prevent the same, and hence become even more stringent about content.
The number of people who participated in the online poll let alone vote for retention of the JCO is probably nowhere near the number of people who made formal complaints about problems caused. Not everyone would have participated in the poll. I do think people want to see events continued on this site, but as long as they are within the scale of the site which at the moment is licenced for up to 5000 only, for health safety, fire safety, and a range of other reasons to do with traffic and general congestion.
I have also had correspondence on this matter with Ms Vitmayer but understand from elsewhere that the Horniman have no desire to seek an increase their entertainment licence which would increase the numbers permitted beyond 5000, nor if they do would they be likely to obtain Council and police support, nor the extensive public support which they would need.
