Member's attitude in forum posts

[SimonG]

Sorry Puddle I do not agree.

His signature can be taken as an insult and he changed it after words (posts) were exchanged with other memebrs. I would class his posts as crusading and I stand by what I wrote in the dishwasher thread. There are a number of posts that arrive with a regularity with regard to people asking how to do illegal work. The responses range from help or get a qualified engineer in to your having a laugh.

I was not bullying just merely pointing out that his signature could be taken the wrong way.

If with regard to this that my opinions are not that of a trusted advisor then please remove that status.

I shall look into his signature

I think the rest should have been in a pm and not on the public forums

If you see a post that is a problem,report it and we will sort out,we can not have members picking on other members on the public forums
I shall go through his posts ,I have before and found nothing that bad in all fairness

Fair enough Puddle, no arguments from me on that. Its probably better I just don't reply. There does appear to be a few times that posts from members appear to cloud issues whenever a professional is trying to ascertain a problem, this is not helpful and seems to be point scoring. Maybe its been the way Ive read his posts.

The bit that gets on my wick most is his avatar and his attitude which, to the uninitiated, can make him look as though he's something to do with the trade.

Just help us mods out here guys,report something your not happy with,we will look at it and it is easier for us to act if picked up early

I have asked him to change his signature and told him not to keep chastising and criticising fellow members,I will keep a close eye on him but please think of the good of the forums when posting on the public forums with have a great place here lets keep it that way

That yoshi chancer has been winding people up and looking for a reaction. And he got one off of one of the more helpful and decent guys on the forum. The helpful guy is banned, the chancer is free to carry on offering advice on things he has absolutely no experience in.

I repeat his posts should have been reported and this situation would not of arisen

The other member in question has been temporarily removed for insulting The administration of the forums,he has had warning before and it is his lack of communication that has lead to this

The will not continue to offer any bad advise or wind anyone up,as I will personally monitor all his future posts and have removed his signature,I repeat if established members had reported the posts when they first saw them,this situation would have been avoided

Would add the good of the forums overrides all of us and we need the established members to help us to achieve this aim

 

[desrob]

who says whats unfair and what isn't,can one play god in these situation..i think not.

 

[Nostrum]

For christ sake don't let him have access to here after 300 post's, you may end up with members on suicide watch.

Mountainman would make a great Samaritan IMO!

What do we do about someone who's coming a cross as a bit of a dick but hasn't actually done something to violate the terms of service? I can't pm a mod and say I just don't like him.
Some people just don't jive but i'm not going to be scared off from topics because there's a contributor who's desperate for attention and insists on being contrary.

It's a difficult balance to strike. The forum needs real tradesmen with their wealth of knowledge but in our working day we're used to straight talking and mickey taking. If there's someone a bit above themselves on site you knock them down a peg or two, it's character building and it's happened to me in the past lol!
