Any problems reported

My mates internet is down, but the DSL light is green?.

Nothing's been reported on Netters.

Got an email from Miriam. Major outage on the exchange BT working on it. Good job I'm now on sky or we would both have been off

BT seem to have had a number of these exchange problems of late.

It may be related to the latest batch of 21CN downgrades (I refuse to call them "upgrades". They aren't).
One of my clients had a leased line down for hours: "a problem at the exchange" according to BT, but looking at Samknows BT have enabled their exchange for WBC on the same day...

Can you explain please? You are on Sky? Who got the email from Miriam, you or 'your mate'? Can't 'your mate' deal with things him or herself? What does anyone else who has a problem do, contact you? Surely the problem could be resolved by 'your mate' simply contacting IDNet and not sensationally you taking up the cudgels on his or her behalf.

Are you a disgruntled ex IDNet customer?

Don't know you from Adam, but your post leaves a lot of questions unanswered to someone who has not followed your previous problems.

Could you please enlighten us to what has gone before and answer the questions posed.

I am more than happy with you disagreeing with my post and siding with wingco1, that is open and fair.

I am not so happy with you as a moderator, for that is what you are, ignoring the poor language and gutter tone offered by wingo1 in his or her reply. As a moderator you are in a positive position and should, firstly, be completely impartial and not take sides on a public forum.

If you wish to air your views on a public forum then they should be made as a non moderator or you weaken your position as an impartial moderator. You are the referee not a player.

You have made no comment whatsoever on the poor tone and gutter language presented by wingco1 which I feel are completely and totally unacceptable on a public forum even disguised with the use of asterisks etc.

You cannot have two roles, moderator or contributor. Make up your mind what you want to be, a moderator or have an impartial input to threads as a non moderator.

Oh yes I can... you should be able to tell the mode in which I'm posting without any difficulty.

You obviously do not visit free chat often.

What a cop out for one of our moderators. Answer the points raised and stand up for your actions (or lack of).

Face up to your moderator responsibilities. Answer the questions posed. You are a referee not a player.

Probably not. But my comments are still valid.

In my view Bill has as much right to give his opinion as anyone else here, I didn't realise when becoming a moderator you give up the right to post in the forums.

.

Do you agree with the poor and gutter responses by wingo1? Nobody has problems with people disagreeing with you but surely the manner in which they respond is a different matter.

A moderator is in position to monitor posts and 'moderate' (that is their job) contributions. If they participate in posts their moderating power loses strength.

They referee and not play.

Trolling again???.

My views on his post are irrelevant I was only commenting on Bills rights to be a moderator and participate in the discussion at the same time.

I do not see how his "moderating power" loses strength, if he was abusing his "powers" by locking or deleting posts I would agree but I honestly don't think that's his style.

As I said in a earlier post I've always been amazed at the number of non IDNet customers who congregate here, I have often wondered why this is.

Monaltrie is a large troll and unfortunately he has been evicted from beneath his bridge so is once again on the loose.

I seem to remember he got a weeks ban for trolling in this very forum.

Well, the OP has got his answer, the thread has quietened down, nobody has been banned, seems a good time to make sure it all stays that way.

Closed.
