You may beat the software, but the mods? I doubt it

All we want is for people to be able to enjoy the forum, ask questions, learn stuff and contribute, and we try to keep it clean and decent enough for your Mum to read too.

Im curious I didnt see in the rules about this but, I posted a question last night about a company called treequip, I was looking for some information as I have just had a expensive encounter with them on Ebay. This morning I had a rude reply here in my private messages and my posted question from last night has been deleted...Ok so censorship of valid questions is a little to Autocratic for my tastes, and Im still none the wiser as to who this treequip is, Im a new starter to the Arbiculture business Im finding it expensive, exhausting and a little intimidating am I now to understand that its exclusive too, I love this work but dont want to put up with "old school boys" who piss on the new guys...

 

 

Since you are naming names and making accusations I will let the facts stand for themselves. Below is the (rude) text in question. I think is a measured response in light of the posting that the moderators found offensive enough to delete.

 

The time for talk was before you went on a public board slaging me off. You don’t know much about this board do you. I suggest you grow up and stop making a fool of yourself in public.

Don’t be to hard on James, he seems a nice lad, he's very enthusiastic about the industry and I hope all the negativity doesn’t put him off using the forum.

 

Treequip, I understand and empathise with you but if you run an arb related business and use the forum then you should expect feed-back from time to time, be it good or bad.

 

I hope James gets the problem sorted out and the negativity is dispelled....Life is too short.

I am quite prepared to accept bad feedback but only if it’s deserved. In this case an unhappy customer went straight for the jugular without using the procedures in place to resolve any such problems. I believe he had an ulterior motive for this and that motive grew out of a situation made by his own errors.

As a computer savvy guy I've issues with the search engine on the website. I have replicated an already asked question twice and had a gentle knuckle rapping. But give it a go. "Knot" has 3 results, "First Aid" 1 and "ISA" a big fat zero. IF it's the search engine at fault (I may yet be to blame) then there will be replication. So please to avoid replication how do I find the subject matter without trawling through all the threads? Is there an alternative to the Search cookie?

 

Give it a go. Try ISA for instance in it's many guises isa, ISA, I.S.A., i.s.a. Or "knot". I'm sure 1 link to "knot" is a little conservative for an arb' forum.
