    I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day.
    Tomorrow, isn't looking good either.

    One of those posts says:

    Make social class a protected characteristic under the Equality Act
    The government should amend the Equality Act 2010 and make social
    class a protected characteristic.

    unquote

    I think that does have legal content, but I am sceptical that it would be
    a useful reform.

    The main group is pretty well free of spam because of the mods, be good to keep it that way :-)

    I think your reasoning may be flawed.

    It's a highly specialised group so not a good comparison, have a look at
    the unmoderated legal group for a comparison.

    The fact remains that correlation isn't causation, especially when there
    is no correlation.

    Now let me tell you the answers to the questions you so carefully
    avoided answering. There is no spam here. There are no moderators here either. The one does not apparently result from the other.

    I think your reasoning may be flawed.

    It's a highly specialised group so not a good comparison, have a
    look-a at the unmoderated legal group for a comparison.

    there is no correlation.

    Can you tell me please what relevance that has?

    No, if you can't work it out yourself you shouldn't be here.

    It of course has no relevance whatsoever.

    If there are rules about what can be discussed in any unmoderated
    group, do say who enforces them.

    Presumably the same people who enforce the law normally.
