I have only just had chance to catch up with the message board antics after a few weeks away.... Keep going it is all very interesting.
One thread that stirred me to respond was that linked with the 'shocked + dissapointed'.
I used to post regularly on the message board, before I was banned! I was given no notice, no second chance and no opening to back up what I had queried. I was not even informed that my ISP was blocked.
The post which got me banned was an Anon one questioning the employment practices with a named company, and how they had a higher level member of the IFA on their staff and ignored IFA pay guidelines. In the post I 'questioned' if this was true and asked for anybody who had more information to respond.... Diggers were being give a very raw deal!
The results were
- My ISP was blocked (another person with the same ISP was told by BAJR that BAJR 'knew' who it was and they would unlock it for them as it was not their post).
- The staff at the named company were warned about who they spoke to in the pub.
- The staff at said company were told about a malicious thread and then informed that it had been removed by the managers mate (BAJR).
I am not against BAJR, in fact I am an avid fan of the whole website. It is just worth letting people know that not all posts and information is filtered with the mesh. Posts of a far more inflammatory (and legally dubious) nature have been allowed to rest undisturbed since.
