UPDATE PLEASE READ: How we now handle people asking about Gas

View the thread, titled "UPDATE PLEASE READ: How we now handle people asking about Gas" which is posted in Gas Engineers Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

yea there fault codes (gives them what parts it may need)

shouldnt be fitting a boiler if he isnt gas safe no ifs no buts, and we do

Get a gsr in. You are neither competent nor qualified to open a boiler up. Removal of the case is classified as gas work.

Right ok hope you understand, as we don't allow gas repair advice on an open forum for safety reason

Get your post count upto 10 (non spamming)

Then you need to pm a mod for further details (croppie, applumbing or gasman)

again posts from members

thing is you cant direct them if there not qualified, you can ask them where they are to see if a memeber is close to them but you cant please everyone and some just throw hissy fits becuase you said then cant do somthing
 
hmmm!!
dont we have a rule where it says
'' if you have nothing constructive to say, then say nothing'' ?

if a member offers advice then it is their name on the court order, not yours!!
 
Mine, the forums, Untold Developments Ltd (the owner of the brands), or the forum member providing the advice, is a loss in my eyes either way. We helped somebody get advice that shouldn't have done.

What I'd like to do is avoid the questions in the first place. And section off the two types of member. The people who can discuss gas and fuels etc. And those that can't.

I'm even considering hooking up somehow with the database of GSR. Something I'd like to meet with them about. So that if a member registers with the same details they have on their database, by using an API, we could perhaps automatically send them to a whole different type of forum for them. And keep the normal one for the normal guys, and erase their threads not just close them. As if we're a forum about Pets or Space and they're posting gas stuff here. Like whaaaat? Why would we know that? Type thing and get rid of their questions.

I'm thinking out loud still here. But I'm working on it.
 
Clearly a debate for the mods to sort out between themselves, Just by being polite in our response will go a long way to helping the forum's longevity & reputation.

I love the fact you're willing to help the team sort this out. 🙂

Are you a Trusted Advisor?
Edit: just looked, no you're not by the looks of it.

Not sure what the terms are to get in TA here. But you should try and be one. There's a new thread I just posted in the arms. We want more people like you on the team. I'll have a word with the staff see what we're doing about that. I'm quite new here I'm sure you already know. But hopefully here to take the mundane tasks off of the staff so we can get things done quickly.

Don't you worry about what we do and don't do with the mods. It's above your pay grade lol

Back to the topic.

I was trying to compliment you FFS.

i know you were, but they make or break the they are a forum key and respected part of the forum
 
Not sure you want to stir that one up mate I'd wind your neck in if i were you.

Can't thank you enough for having passion for the place.

But you're going way off topic now. And also possibly contributing to a staff member talking about another staff member in an area that wouldn't look cool in the future.

I'm sure all the staff will back me up on this.

@BOD @croppie @APPlumbing @gas man @steveb @Plumbstar Tom

We have this sorted don't we lads.......?!

I'm sure you respect the fact that we need to sort the forum out, and members chipping in just delays us doing that.

What makes you think I don't respect them, or the forum?

Do you not think what I'm doing is for the forum? And need staff to back me up on this?

Tell them to come chat in this thread with us for me mate. I'm struggling to.

I don't mind you replying at all, and want you to, with the right stuff. But the managing of the forum and the mods (and who respects who) is and can only be your assumption. So that's not fair on me, us, them, or the forum.

So just don't do that, that's all I'm saying.

We roll this word respect around a lot, then go around clicking like on loads of posts and not actually contributing to the threads, that's disrespectful TO THE FORUM and the making of it, in my eyes.

Some mods have an issue with me saying 'wind you neck in'. Are you alright with that, it was a tongue-in-cheek way to say just leave it pal. What I wanted to say was way worse to be fair.

You're talking loosely about a forum a care a lot about. And without actual suggestions or proposals in your responses, it's not really warranted to just point out things and give your opinion etc.

Think before you speak and all that.
 
This is how close we are as a forum team.

I asked the lads to back me up and say we are chatting about this in our own staff forums. And 2 replied and didn't back me up, the rest liked their posts lol

Cliquey or what?
