I thought the comment was meant that on this forum, there are some clowns as the words used in the posting implied that. I didn't think it was aimed at you at all.

Just goes to show how a misunderstanding can happen.

Obviously this forum is biased if you can't mention other competitors other than sponsors,  same with mentioning other forums as people have been banned for mentioning them.

Has anyone been banned for doing either?

I can only remember members getting banned for being too abusive or insulting, etc or in one case, putting a link up to a crude porn site.

Yes lee got banned for mentioning other forums by tosh tbh can even post a copy of the comment if you want :-)

Ok. Please could you post it and other previous postings by the same person that led to him being banned.

I'm sure Tosh will not ban me for just mentioning 'window cleaning equipment forum'. There is usually a history to these things along with context.

[windymiller]

He listed about 4 forums, will get the lidting off my email and watch me get banned

[windymiller]

here you are the forums he got banned for


Window cleaning forums .co.uk

Cleaning forums .co.uk

Window-tools .com

Delete the spaces.

[windymiller]

that was copied off the exact thread he got banned off

[rosskesava]

Sorry to say this, you havn't answered the question I asked or posted the 'comment' you said you would. I also don't understand what you posted. What exact thread? You didn't post a link but instead posted a list of forums?

As far as I can see over the years, most moderating on this forum has been pretty good on the whole considering it is a very well used forum. To compare it to other forums isn't really valid as each seems to have a different ethos about them. This forum is lively, a bit volatile but with an incredible amount of knowledge and variation of topic.

Other forums can be a bit more sedate but without the same amount of info posted on a daily basis. Some prefer the quieter back waters and some prefer the full on grand canyon. That doesn't mean one is better than the other, it just means they are different and some prefer one as opposed to the other.

Surely you're just buying some poles from China and flogging them on?

Isn't that exactly what gardiners are doing?  (except maybe that they add their own clamp that nobody seems to like)

We are all free to order poles from far Cathay if we wish. The skill is sourcing the right carbon fibre pole, marrying it to the right clamps, ensuring a continuous line of supply and most of all topping it off with the best customer service without being taken for a mug.

There are two or three posters who are at certain levels of pole supply (pipedream/doing it/thinking about doing it) and they come on here (or get a stooge to come on here) telling us how their poles are brilliant or are going to be brilliant or will change the market. And they have.

They have because the premier pole supplier keeps two steps ahead, improves his poles and reduces his prices. It's great for me.

The problem is the wannabe's cannot portray themselves in a professional manner - they lose their rag, spit their dummies out and get upset. And when the premier pole supplier (diplomat!) asks if they are prepared for their exchange of emails to be made public they lock their thread and refuse.

Also there is this envious sniping that comes across - they cannot yet produce and maintain service and back up for a pole that is better than the premier pole supplier and so they resort to unwise posts which show them up for what they are:- aspiring pole suppliers who haven't learned how to assemble and supply poles that customers want in volume.

As emails are private and confidential I didn't see the point of it being posted on here.im not here to put anybody down?I will be selling poles shortly and don't expect to sell thousands overnight but we will see how they do.
 Why shouldn't there be more than 1 pole supplier?
 Should there be only one van maker?
 I will tell you there are lots of people in China that make poles and they are not made in the uk.
 Me and Alex had a disagreement about me buying products from him after saying I planned to sell poles in the future.i then decided I wouldn't sell poles.
I made a order with alex,which was cancelled.
Which made me to decide to supply poles.
im now unable to buy from Alex which is fine so I won't be spending a penny more from him.thats ok.ive spent quite a bit in the past.
So what?
Deal with it

You decided to sell poles because Gardiner's cancelled your order? 

No I had already sourced a supplier a couple of months ago but put it on the back burner for a while whilst I get some money together having just bought a new van etc.
I was offered a affidavit to sign and be able to order aslong as I promised not to sell poles in the future which I wouldn't sign.
ive done the leg work with the suppliers and negotiated prices so why not sell them??
Do I need your permission???
