well this forum is so retarded. i knew there was plenty of members around that had brain issues but didn't realise it had spread to the mods too. i got a 2 day ban for having the same username i've had for ages, all because they decided to change the rules without making it known.

thought this thread was for discussing the idea not that it had actually been implemented given there is still members with fake names, but then on top of that how stupid a 2 day ban, not even just a quick message to say change your name please.

if i was an advertiser here i'd think twice knowing how ridiculous the mods are here, why pay money for the mods to ban users from even viewing the place because of a simple rule change that was poorly dealt with.

no, this thread was to discuss the proper "avatars and real names" locked thread at the top of the carpet cleaning section.  ;D ;D ;D

there is nothing to hide behind if you have to use your real name. i want to post about something bad that happened? well i can't now as you'll all know who i am and so will my competition.

i've never minded which is why i've got my details in signature and website etc, but others may and anyone who suggest you HAVE to have you real name is showing disrespect for others privacy. this forum no longer respects members privacy. next we'll be having members address, sexual preference, etc so we can work out if a poster likes men and can ignore them as they aren't real men and therefore their opinion is of less value.

if you don't want privacy fine but others may. this forum is for sharing ideas, and allowing people to be anonymous with their ideas of course mean you'll get rubbish "fake" ideas, but at the same time you'll get better honest ideas, it's then your job to sift through them and use your brain to work out which are good and which aren't. i guess that's what it comes down to, if you can see a bad idea from a good one and are smart enough to work it out.

A ban on name-changing and multiple logins would be a better idea I think.

the whole real name issue is slightly misleading, I don't care if someone uses an alias as long as they are identifiable.... what we want to know is who we are talking to

its easy for me to tell you Alltec are  a bunch of robbing crooks who shouldn't be in business and they misused my credit card and took money out of my account if you know who i am and i can be held in account for what I say.

 but......... if I say this anonymously then it is wrong.


if i tell you that.... Prochems new portable is the best machine on the market. It is better than the Jaguar, alltec & Amtech machine put together ......... then it would help to know I don't work for Prochem and my opinion is not biased.

this is why we need to know who we are talking too, they we can make a better judgement call whether to believe what they say.

Firstly, you are a member of Cleantalk and registered under your real name, so that negates your first point.

Secondly, this is an open forum, if you want privacy join a closed forum.

Thirdly, your final paragraph is complete nonsense - I don't want to sift through "fake" information, I want to be able to trust the advice offered by knowledgable posters. As far as not being able to post about something "bad" that has happened, there is an easy solution - phone someone up directly for advice, that way you don't have to air your dirty linen on an open forum.

Last year, I was verbally abused on this forum during the launch of CLEAN by some big brave boy, who registered under a false name and then disappeared. You want to have a pop at me - fine - but grow a pair and use your real name then we can have a straightener.
