Guys.
I can understand your sentiments regarding inormation being freely available. Especially to those who are new to window cleaning and in particular WFP's. I run a major window cleaning company myself but I well remember feeling like I was in a minefield a few years ago when I was researching the options available to me. There was far less info available at the time however it's now very different.
I have been doing a great deal of reading back-posts on this forum during the last week or so because I have a major decision to make and have found a lot of helpfull posts.
Bearing in mind the number of members of this forum it surely has to be the most used one here in the UK so I think that the site is doing a lot of things very well indeed. I found it on the net and am glad that I did. I therefore think that the site owners and moderators are doing us a great service probably at a considerable expense on terms of time freely given and of course the running costs.
I am absolutely sure that a ban is not made lightly and that there are very good reasons for it.
I think that this post and JohnL's are very apt.
Matt,
I think your site is great too; it certainly helped me; not just with the kit, but with understanding the process. (I subsequently found Alex G, Gardiner Pole's site, which is also excellent).
I know it's not rocket science, but unless it's explained, like it is at your site, then it's difficult to make sense of using a WFP and all the paraphanalia in the beggining.
Remember, I did make a donation, which you spent on pizza.
Anyway, I think you did go through a phase of heavily advertising your thread here, which pee'd Mike off a bit.
I reckon if you just suggested in posts, where appropriate that they could be better off with a self-build option, and to e-mail you for further details; that'd work.
Context of content in any post is relevant. I have seen many instances of uninvited comments and pushing of the site in question.
Perhaps this is what has led to this situation.
Also why not just email the site owner or a moderator for clarification?
That is what I would have done. Bringing this subject into the public domain is inflamatory and were I Mike I would see it as such and take appropriate action.
