[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

With regards to the thread: FAO Matt MB Windows
What grounds did you lock this thread on?
First of all Ian this is a forum isnt it?
secondly it was admins that decided against personal messaging!!
thirdly how many WC's on here look for subbies to cover work within an area?
fourthly Russ stated he would email, no different to when Dave Morris asks for Sub contractors in specific areas and the thread is full of posts stating they have emailed him.


Regards

p.s. Why do I have the feeling this thread will be locked because someone disagree's with an admin.

Ian is Russ's post different to this post?
"Does any one cover Pulborough area"
 

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

To Dave Morris, Sorry, I shouldn't of singled you out as alot of other guys on here ask for subbies too, I just couldn't recall their names.
My apologies Dave

This thread has nothing to do with Dave, it was Ian who locked a post directed at me. so it is between Ian Giles and myself.

I thought that was what forums were for ?   to share information and help customers out by putting them in touch with window cleaners in their area ?

[the bfg]

and to help other windows cleaners by putting work their way ?

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

I thought that too bfg.
It has to be one rule for everyone, not one rule for one and another rule for someone else.

For this place to get like this and hack so many respected and regular members off and to get so paranoid is a new low. I've been on here about a year, and all I see lately is a clique of " confortable members" being able to post what they like. Matt has a point. One rule for some, another for the rest of us. It's got so bad that CIU's best posters have opened another forum where nobody is looking over your shoulder ready to hit the delete button.

No wonder CIU has to rely on new members asking "Safe" questions that don't rock the boat. Congratulations to the mods. You have this so called forum (Mates club) totally under control. You must be so proud. Now I just need your undercover mate (Tosh) to come and fight your corner. You sad bunch of non paid mods. What some people will do for recognition.

Funny, I saw it locked earlier & couldn't understand why?

Dave Morris sorts half his work out through this forum.

Has Giles turned into a numpty overnight?

I have considered myself a 'comfortable member' for quite awhile on here and have posted the odd comments (amongst relevant info) which i've never had a problem or been sanctioned for.
I like this site but think it will lose the cutting edge for upto date information, if what mb says is right. There is inconsistency on here and while it hasn't been to my own disadvantage, it isn't a good thing to see.

I'm not taking sides here, but i cannot see why anyone needs a FAO (name)  all you have to do is look
at the profile to get an email addy.

and to be honest i've seen some cr@p threads when its quite clear the people starting the thread speak or
see each other outside the forum - its just a stupid waste or time.

However i agree with Matt that this goes on with Moderators and other members - therefore Matts thread
should not be singled out if it concerned work.

Some guys dont have their email addy in their profiles Smudger

[cozy]

Not all people have their e_mail on their profile Smudger. Shame really.

[Smudger]

Cozy - perhaps you cant be a member unless you show your email

Darran

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

They use to be instant messaging facility on the forum but for reasons I don't know the moderators/admins deleted this facility and flattly refuse to reinstate it.

well I am buggered if I can see where to add my e-mail address. Did not even know it was not on here 

[Spencer Priory]

This place has turned into a boys club. If your in the club, then great, if not, lock / delete are order of the day

[Susan @ MB Window Cleaning]

To add your email

Click on profile at top of page
then on the left, click on modify profile
then Account related settings

Then untick the box that says hide email!

I haven't tried it yet

But I'm guessing that it will work

[richard jagger]

Why not look around for a better forum were you can post and not be deleted.

[chopsie]

cheers susan, could not see it for looking  :

[Ian_Giles]

It's very simple, the forum is NOT for private messages between members.

The info was exchanged, the thread was locked, quite simple really.

Also, an FAO to an individual is a very different thing to a thread asking if anyone on  the forum covers this area or that, as that is an open enquiry for all of the forum to participate in.

I agree that it is a great shame this forum does not support PM's, but Admin had good reason at one point to remove it.

No one gets favouritism from me, I don't care who you are, if I see a transgression I deal with it, you don't like it then complain to Admin direct, if they also believe I've done wrong then it will be ME who gets my knuckles rapped.

Many decide to keep their email addresses hidden, which I know means sometimes the only way to get someone's attention is to give a thread the 'FAO' treatment.
You have to accept that if spotted it'll get locked...no use getting the 'hump' when you get your wrist slapped for breaking the rules.

And these 'FAO' threads soon turn into a free for all with every tom, Dick and Arry' putting their own replies to what is in essence a private conversation between two people....as in, "please read all of the replies to this particular thread."

Thread not locked (by me at least) I'm more than happy for others to see the reason why a thread may get locked...one of the reasons anyway.

It also makes no difference to me if someone complains about a thread...might be a bit 'judgement of Solomon(ish)' but if I don't agree with the complaint then I don't interfere with the thread...that isn't to say  either Dave or Admin might act differently of course.
