message boards are for debate ?
« on: November 19, 2012, 07:23:31 pm »
It seems Clean it up thinks otherwise, unless the debate is in favour of advertisers ?

from all the Andy Willis threads

Andy has yeat again renewed his advertising campaign with us which allows to put towards the costs of running, maintaining and keeping on top of this forum for you guys!

That's enough now - LOCKED.



Does this mean that advertisers have ' Carte blanche ' with topics they feel uncomfortable with ? or do mods / admin feel they need to protect a income stream and lock messages ?

Interesting quote here from David@st-ives

Mr Willis is no more protected than any other user - FACT


Does Dave still stand by this quote ?

why is it that a moderator or forum admin can decide when a topic has "run its course"? Unless there are personal abuse, bad language, personal insults going on, surly a topic has only run its course when the forum members decide they no longer want to post on it, and its not for a moderator of forum admin to lock it.

The Andrew willis topics were lock for no other reason then he is protected because he is a site sponsor, the topics had not run their course because there were still questions unanswered.

This is getting comical. Seriously there really should be more fulfilling experiences in your lives than how a two-bit Internet forum is moderated. Come on girls, get with the programme, there's daily life going on out there once you stop picking the fluff out of your belly-buttons.

E.mail admin and ask how much a advertising campaign will cost, you can then see your post run course

Hi Guys

I am not happy with the locked posts

After 3 days of reading every impact post, and trying to keep order and not letting things get too personal, I feel I have been undermined and the posts have been locked.

I didn't lock or delete any posts as did not want to be seen to protecting suppliers, which I never have done,

I like to think that if suppliers come to Cleanitup to advertise then, they know what they are walking into, so within reason they should be open to scrutiny by posters.


I do feel certain posters have forced admins hand, certain people are just hell bent on taunting Impact. even though I don't agree and I am not happy about it I can see why they might of took it onto themselves to lock them.

Fair play to you Dave, i mean that


you made a post about suppliers not being protected and they put that to the sword and made it look silly

Read my earlier post or did you miss that one 9th post down from the top

No supplier has ever got protection from me.

If you want to carry on calling me liar, that's your perogative.
