Think he's setting up his own blog called the Pointing Slong.

He didn't like the policy on duplicate accounts and asked to be removed.

I guess a few more will be following his lead later this week  ;)

He told me he came off because he did not have time anymore which is a contrast to what admin is saying.

There are a few of us on these floors of 130 people that have accounts, probably all from the same i.p.  If I get my account closed because of it you can shove Planet Jersey.

Thanks for that :) 
As long as it's carried out properly I don't see a problem, but as someone who had there account deleted without being given reasonable warning and incorrectly I do have reservations.

I sent an e-mail to admin because I work with PH even though I do not agree with his views.  But if admin cannot even have the courtesy to reply I have reservations as well Newmac.

A notice of amnesty was posted on the forum towards the end of last week.

I accept that certain individuals may have duplicate IP addresses as they may share a common router or PC with other forum members. I have asked those who are aware of this to email me with their details, to date I have received 1 email.

Mod-1 disagreed with my approach, however from the forum records he shared a common IP address with one of the culprits so I can therefore understand why he took the stance he did. It is also a forum rule that there should be no duplication of accounts. He wouldn’t accept that moderators should follow the rules that they are imposing and set an example.

As I have said above I am aware of certain duplications and accept that in some cases this will be down to the sharing of equipment. However it is too much of a coincidence that the same certain forum members log on within several minutes of each other, from exactly the same IP addresses (even though those addresses may be different to the last one used) on a regular basis. Yes this may happen in a work situation, but from 3 to 4 different IP addresses and at times quite late into the evening somehow I doubt this.

So I’ll ask again, if you are aware of other individuals within your organisation or home that log onto this forum drop me an email and I will ensure that I take account of this.

Mod-1’s other argument was that the forum was pandering to the observation and comments posted on “other” forums. Even though he had regularly noted on this forum he was not interested in what other forums had to say.

You do realise that Mod-1 is known personally by a few people on this forum.  If you continue to write posts like this you can delete my account and I won't bother coming on here anymore.  I have already spoken to Adrian about this.

Whether he is personally known to people on here or not is irrelevant, the forum rules are there for a reason.

I object.

Delete my account, I retire from this forum.

Unless I hear from Adrian I am no longer posting on here.

If that is what you want then I will comply later this afternoon.

Would you like your other account deleted as well ?

WTF?

Delete my account as well then together with all associated posts.

I also know who Mod-1 is, I think its time you gave us all your name.

If JTM or PH isn't posting on here anymore you can do the same to my account.  I will go back to CI Forums.
