Dave figured his business could be damaged because of comments made on it.

Must have pulled it himself I guess; perks of the job I suppose.

So he deleted the whole thread?...mmm..so other forum members made valid comments about his thread yet he thinks he has made a serious error posting about working at 84ft with a certain pole...so can just delete the whole thing...dubious use of elevated forum privilage me thinks.

Ok can I just delete some of FTP's comments then?

Cheers

He's done the right thing, if he's a mod & can do it he does right. There's a reason I posted my comments, it involves a court case of a tradesman I know & the manufacturer of a piece of equipment he modified, lets call it a "bespoke tool". His employee got injured using it & the outcome for the tradesman wasn't good. In court a rep' for the original piece of equipment was asked if they would recommend such a modification to it- the reply- NO, absolutely not. Cost him dearly!

He's a mod & does it for free, can't deny him some privelage. My comments were genuine & in good faith though as I do normally like to wind him up a little.

My comments were for all to digest, not just Dave.

i thought it was a valid point  you made mate and im sure if any of us needed to make a pole that big for a job then we wouldnt hesitate,also i think he should have left them up so we could view all the comments that would have been made even if it helps one of us in the future, :-X :-X :-X

Hi guys

As the post said its been an hard week, and when you have the buttons in front of you, it is so easy to hit the delete button when the wolves are circling so apologies to those who were interested in the thread.



Call it an abuse of power if you like, but i would do the same for any other poster who wanted a post deleted for any personal issue.

Personally Dave I am not concerned with your comments...but it's just that you believe that you can delete comments made in good faith by forum members in a thread at will.

Did you ask those concerned?.

Your comments in the thread were very intresting and I am sure inspired many to go 'onwards and upwards' so all credit to you but your 'absolute' use of your forum privilages are of more concern.

Personally the fact you deleted my comment and prevented me viewing other forum members comments because you felt you could are a sad indication of the forum.

So from here on in I presume I can write at will and when I feel I need a thread locking or posts deleting I shall just ask for my profile to have the required privilages granted and I'll save the mods a job and just do it my self?

Dave.

I knew of a cleaner who carried on using a pole with a broken shoulder. Would his method statement and risk assessment cover that?

Dave if you are going to splash all your business over the forum then perhaps you should think things through a little more don't you think?

Personally I found it very interesting and don't normally attack you at all, but honestly this sucks of double standards  :-\

Sorry Dave YOU chose to use YOUR privilages to delete an entire thread YOU created including the valid and genuine posts of forum members here so getting on your high horse is a low shot.

How can you expect anyone to take your use of your privilages seriously?

Everyone has absolute respect that you are a very smart and successfull businesman but your actions here show you really have taken your role 1 step further than you should have.

Personally ...deleting the whole thread was a very silly move...so please include my user profile in your exempt list.

I would rather simon123 came back as my personal mod.

I also make a donkies bottom of myself with great regularity....The thing is I'm lucky you and the forum did'nt did'nt see me reverse my van into a tree the other week ;)

Hi Guys,

I was reading the post and Dave i have to say i was impressed with the set-up the only thing i saw in early posts was the remark towards the trackky bottoms...

as to removing an entire thread, i have to say should not be done unless there is legal issues or offensive language but hey these things are not subject to laws or anything.

My outlook is that this place is a great medium for help and info.   BUT

i choose not to show my business - mainly because i can get a little hung up on the unimportant things and get drawn into arguments which could reflect badly on my business.

This forum can be accessed by any1 ( and is!!! )    

So maybe the best thing to come out of this is that we should better consider our posts/replies before hitting the POST key and thinking the world is out to get us.

Darran  :D

That's a strange first post to make?  Why?  What's your involvement with the NVQ?  Do you stand to make any money out of it?  Is that your interest here?

More's the pity.  There are a few posters on here who I home in on regarding window cleaning stuff.  Dave is one of them.  There are others too - such as Ian Lancaster who has been more of an inspiration to me than he will ever know, Ian Giles who doesn't post so much these days but when he does it's well worth reading, and believe it or not, Ewan, who does come out with the odd gem if you can be bothered to filter out the background noise.  I also take note of Matt more these days.  As my finances have got more squeezed he is always good for a read on how to save a few quid (quite a few sometimes).  And Jeff is always good for help on 12v electrics.
