Title: message boards are for debate ?
Post by: James Leet on November 19, 2012, 07:23:31 pm
It seems Clean it up thinks otherwise, unless the debate is in favour of advertisers ?

from all the Andy Willis threads

Andy has yeat again renewed his advertising campaign with us which allows to put towards the costs of running, maintaining and keeping on top of this forum for you guys!

That's enough now - LOCKED.



Does this mean that advertisers have ' Carte blanche ' with topics they feel uncomfortable with ? or do mods / admin feel they need to protect a income stream and lock messages ?

Interesting quote here from David@st-ives

   Re: FAO, Andrew Willis. New HSE rules.
« Reply #102 on: November 17, 2012, 12:17:46 pm »    
Mr Willis is no more protected than any other user - FACT


Does Dave still stand by this quote ?

why is it that a moderator or forum admin can decide when a topic has "run its course"? Unless there are personal abuse, bad language, personal insults going on, surly a topic has only run its course when the forum members decide they no longer want to post on it, and its not for a moderator of forum admin to lock it.

The Andrew willis topics were lock for no other reason then he is protected because he is a site sponsor, the topics had not run their course because there were still questions unanswered.

This is getting comical. Seriously there really should be more fulfilling experiences in your lives than how a two-bit Internet forum is moderated. Come on girls, get with the programme, there's daily life going on out there once you stop picking the fluff out of your belly-buttons.

Hi Guys

I am not happy with the locked posts

After 3 days of reading every impact post, and trying to keep order and not letting things get too personal, I feel I have been undermined and the posts have been locked.

I didn't lock or delete any posts as did not want to be seen to protecting suppliers, which I never have done,

I like to think that if suppliers come to Cleanitup to advertise then, they know what they are walking into, so within reason they should be open to scrutiny by posters.


I do feel certain posters have forced admins hand, certain people are just hell bent on taunting Impact. even though I don't agree and I am not happy about it I can see why they might of took it onto themselves to lock them.

Mike, how would you feel if facelift did not run a advertising campaign and another supplier did, now that other supplier has negative posts about his product deleted, they left the negative posts about you to run and run

We are talking censorship here and all to protect a income stream

why is it that a moderator or forum admin can decide when a topic has "run its course"?

'Cos we has the buttons!  ;D

I don't give a figgy fig fig about courses, training, the Willis family, advertising; and sometimes, even ruddy window cleaning, so I'm pretty neutral here.

If I think a post is turning into a bitch fight, or getting into the realm of discussing personalities rather than the subject, I'll lock it.  Sometimes, if I suspect it's beer o' clock, I'll just lock it for the evening and reopen it again in the morning.  Quite often no-one responds after that.

None of the mods, as far as I am aware, take any instruction from the site owners; we're just here to keep the forum moderate; you know, not extreme in any way; we're not paid - we receive no direction - there is no CIU moderator conspiracy.

The most I ever got was a Christmas card off the site owner, some years ago, not even a free squeegy rubber.  I was finished with him after that!  >:( >:( >:(

What is a worry in this whole situation for me is this.

Supplier X brings out a new pole, its rubbish and after a few weeks use starts to wear from the inside, this causes the pole to snap without warning

Now members post about this on here and supplier X does not like this, he still has 400 poles to shift, so he takes out a banner with the knowledge that he can ask Admin / Mods to delete any negative post about the poles

Admin will of course protect the income stream that Supplier X is paying and get the mods to delete posts

Personally if i was a mod i would question this and if still not happy i would think is this place worth the hassle and question my morals, we have seen that David@st-ives is not happy about this, I notice that Tosh has just made a few jokes about this, where do you draw the line, as the above could happen, morally it is wrong


integrity

1. adherence to moral principles; honesty
2. the quality of being unimpaired; soundness
3. unity; wholeness

No-one, apart from our members request mods to delete posts.

And I think I could drum up a whole range of future-based scenarios to annoy myself with, but I think it would be best if we just deal with each situation as it crops up.

However, I think you have made a good point, but if anyone has actual EXPERIENCE of a product/service and complains on the forum - and the supplier is also a sponsor - I think that'll carry a lot more weight than someone who is just guessing at possible scenarios.

So, why don't we wait out and see what happens?

It has happened, look at the recent Mr Willis posts, he posted about cordoning of the area you work in, people questioned this and he ignored the questions, it got uncomfortable for him and Washout , the rest is history the posts were locked

We don't if that is true. As Admin havn't posted anything we just don't know.

Unfortunately, the silence just breeds guesswork.

To my mind all it takes is for Admin to make a comment and as for why they won't, that is also guesswork. Maybe they're too busy or don't know or what ever but regardless, the silence doesn't come across well.

It's a forum, nothing more. Some people obviously aren't as credible individuals as yourself, but that's life. It doesn't really have any significance in the grand scheme of things. You've heard what you think is dodgy advice. Don't concern yourself, you'll die prematurely if you do, you didn't pay for the advice, it's not faulty goods. Your statutory rights aren't affected.

Look, this is how it works:-

Tosh n' Dave are moderators so they're like Captains Darling and Blackadder - they run the show (Ian Giles is AWOL in no-man's land at the mo') at a low level and if Lieutenant George or Private Baldrick (us lot) get out of hand or bleat about something against "da rulz" they lock or remove our threads and posts.  If, like Nurse Mary, we really goof up we might even get shot! (Banned)

Forum Admin is yer actual General Melchett - Division belongs to them and like General Melchett what they says goes.

General Melchett doesn't care what Captains Darling and Blackadder think he just goes his own sweet way and rather cuckoo way and if a supplier of army uniforms gives him a free outfit with all the brass hats, dress uniforms and a nice Chateaux to live in for the duration and that supplier is upset by Private Baldrick saying they don't fit properly then who is going to be sent over the top? Private Baldrick or the owner of the biggest uniform factory this side of the River Seine?

Occasionally you'll get Squadron-Commander Flash-heart (some forum clever clogs who irritates everyone and whips up a storm in a teacup) flying in for a quick visit to take us to heaven and back but he soon disappears in a cloud of glory to turn up in a different guise.

Look, if Forum admin act like a tin pot dictator and you don't like their Mercedes-Benz rumbling through the countryside then skip over the border into M'bata-Land (another forum) and take yer chances over there. Mind you, do they have running water, medicine and doctors (good advice like wot I give ;D) to go along with the more lax style?

What if we all accept it and advertisers have free hand to spout rubbish and the members who cannot think for themselves will just go along with whatever the advertisers is saying, prime example is this H&S course and cordening of the area you work

People need to stand up at some point in life

You sound angry, James.  Have you ever considered letting Buddha into your life?

Let it go, mate, you can't teach pigs to sing, you'll just end up frustrated and angry; and it annoys the pigs too.

Metta 'n' all that!  ;D

James, it's a funny thing, but you will get frustrated if you try to change the World to suit your own view.  Why?  'Cos it can't be done.  All admin need do is ban you for being a bore.  So a few folk delete their accounts - like they've always done - and the World still keeps on turning, mate.

And here's a little bit of knowledge for free; never ever trust an advert; try to find someone who you know is impartial and has had EXPERIENCE of an item/service, and trust what they say about a product.  So now you know you don't have to trust any of them.

Also, don't let forum admin (or anyone else for that matter) annoy you.  You cannot feel annoyed and happy at the same time, so by letting forum admin annoy you, you're letting them control the level of your happiness.  Now, man up - be responsible - and take control of your own feelings, instead of letting others control them for you.

You remind me of my dog, when I chuck him a stick he has no choice, he's got to chase it.  He doesn't easily let go of bones either.

A quick but brief tour back through your posting history James illustrates someone who has a long-term dissatisfaction with the forum, how admin operate it or its members.

Or if a man says something in a forest, and there's not a woman to hear him, is he still wrong?

No.  We've debated this at some length in the off topic area, and it most certainly doesn't. 

And it's all quite logical and rational too.

The answer to all this cordoning off working areas is obvious. Cordon off the whole country then everyone can work safely.

To be fair to them, it was all legitimate apart from ONE account - that 'Gordon' one.  The rest were all unique and honest member accounts.  So it wasn't like some big conspiracy or nowt.
