The cops don’t check the site for discussions about small time drug use or dealing, unless people are really silly in incriminating themselves or there is unrepentant discussion of links to other anti social behaviour or violent crimes (often containing evidence which is enough to get someone arrested). They do monitor this site but what they do look for is involvement in organising illegal raves which are now viewed as serious/organised crime due to the cash value of drugs often sold there and that confiscated sound systems are on occasion replaced by drugs money, or blatant attempts to advertise them here (which we have not done for nearly 10 years but cops still look over the site anyway).

They also check we are keeping a safe and pleasant environment for younger people as a music/lifestyle site like this with tolerant attitudes obviously attracts a very wide age group of people from their early teens upwards to into their 50s and 60s..

On rare occasions they have warned promoters of licensed events that advertising here could put the event over safe capacity (as decided by the Council/Fire Brigade) as this site is international rather than national or local.

But whatever went on in the past, these days when the cops do monitor the site (and many other similar ones) they are actually open about it and don’t do undercover stuff – hence the joke.
