Good idea.  And to clarify why warnings were not issued first.  when these people have to come back as newbies, they lose their posting history

Read what Jason posted at the top.

If you go about your business without fuss, then you will have no problems.

All new members have to use there real names.

If you cause trouble you will be asked as a first option, to change your name.

It is a s simple as that

Dave,

Thanks for your post,

I think the issue is not around the name changing as such,  it is the fact accounts have been deleted without warning.  I think it need investingating properly.

Also are we ok to use nick names providing are profile reads our correct names in the text somewhere ?

C and B

From what I remember I think you had a run in with Jason, so he asked you to change your name from what I can remember, i could be wrong ?

Everyone else with a change of name will also have a story to tell.

If anyone feels a name change was unjustified, please feel free to email me and i will do my best to rectify the situation.

I said I could be wrong.

Have you tried emailing Him to sort things out.

I can tell you deleting accounts is not the norm and there is usually a reason behind it.

I know you did Dave, Im not having a poke at you. God forbid being a mod.




Dont be like that, I think I am very fair.

I am like the good teacher at school who turns a blind eye to the smokers corner   ;D

 I could enforce loads more than i actually do.

For some this is the day that the dream died.

Many years ago someone said to me "this country will never be right untill the hammer and sycle is flying over buckingham palace."

I never thought that this would happen.Some one somewhere is having a good long last laugh.

Hi Tom, ;D

They have now revealed peoples "usernames", which at the time of creating the account, I am sure they stated that they would not. :-\

This is the only change I can think of really!

I had to create a 'fake email' to get in back in here after I deleted my old account and tried to get back in with my normal e-mail.

Unfortunately after not hearing from CIU in over a week after re applying for membership, my paranoia kicked in and I created a fake e-mail to get back in.

The lengths we have to go eh?  ;D

It's not about having anything to hide, it's about protecting your e-mail from 'spammers'.  If I wanted to be naughty, I could copy your e-mail and put it into various places on the internet and you would be overflowing with spam e-mail in a very short time.  And I mean you would be swamped.

And 'spammers' harvest e-mails from sites such as this.

It's not about hiding, but protecting yourself from idiots.

That's your choice, but I've already cut 'n' pasted it into various 419 scammer areas where they harvest e-mails.

In a few days you'll be having more lottery wins than you've ever dreamed of!  ;D

Shuuuurly not!!!

Squeaky went through a phase where some idiot was phoning him up after he'd posted  a pic of his van with his telephone number on it.  It annoyed him!  

After that I thought I'd be a bit more careful about my personal details.  I have nothing to hide; many people on this forum know me 'in the flesh', but I personally don't like my personal details floating round the tinternet!

Quite agree Tosh.  For the very same reason I'll not put any more on my profile.  It's not a bout hiding it's about protecting.

as stated before - accounts arent being deleted simply due to nicknames

Paul formerly known as Hitman - you know as well as i that you deleted your own account when you got involved with some negative posting with other members and i seem to remember you reporting the post many times asking for our help which you received! You also had prior warning of some of your conduct before you got into that last post

please dont act in one way on the forum and then act in another via email to me as it wont wash - all i am asking is you treat others with some respect, thats just called being an adult!

also be aware that the Mods have more power over your accounts as they should - they run the show and police the forum to keep you all safe! i will always fully support their decisions and know they would not delete someone without having full reason

if any of you have any issues - why dont you email me direct and i will sort them!
