It looks like Chesterfield Forums have banned me from sending Private Messages to one of their members. :o
I was invited to participate in a Jam Night by a member on their forums - and not wishing to post openly about equipment, PA, etc we communicate via private message. But this morning I got an email saying that this member had sent me a PM, so I signed on only to be told that I am not allowed to send or receive messages...
So, true to form, they are censoring members once again, for whatever petty reasons I don't know. Talk about Big Brother! They have gone from being the best forum in town to some sort of right-wing fascist forum where free speech is just a memory.
You couldn't make this crap up... :(

is there anything i can do Pete? As in tell the said person where to contact you. Annoying i imagine from your point of view and just find it ridiculous.

Don't beat about the bush Pete, say what you think!! 8)

Thanks for the offer Em, might take you up on that, but I would feel rather guilty if it caused you any grief.
'appen best leave it flower... :)
-
Why don't the said person join this forum ---- problem solved and maybe just maybe they have also had a similar message to yours.
Pleased I'm out of it!
-
Goes without saying my PM's have been stopped on there a while.
A Mod told me they were member privileges.
In other words, they don't want us contacting other members.
-
@OC - I don't want to persuade folks to join this forum and have never tried to convince an existing member of CF to defect, so to speak.
@Flyboy - I'm still a member there and have PMed the member that wants to jam last week and I had no problems.
-
Obviously admin on there have decided to extend the block.

So, you calling us ex CF members defectives? ;D
-
Yep :P
-

I would have hope the person would have thought that out for themselves,maybe they will in due time..
Ok I don't mind being a defective.
Yours Sincerely
Defective Old cruiser ;)

I suppose it would be childish of me to make jokes about rusty bottoms... :o
-
I can only presume CF don't want the 'Popular Competitor' contacting their members. Sad :(

Do you mean brown arse?
-
@ Fly - Yes, they are sad.
I made a rule for myself never to contact any CF members about Chesterfield Online when we set it up. I only wanted folks on here who had made that decision themselves.
Pity CF aren't as confident or as honourable as that. :(
@ OC - Steady on... ;D

What's a rusty bottom then ;D

A rusty bottom is when a ship needs a coat of paint below the waterline.
Whatever did you think? ;)

Are you one of them dirty girls my mother used to warn me about... ;)
-
I am ;)
-
mmm...interesting...... and they have a description on the main Portal web page .....
forum • A medium (as a newspaper or online service) of open discussion or expression of ideas.
-
hmm indeed, its not open in any which way now over thar....
-
its petty to be honest!

As a representative of the Chesterfield Forum I can categorically state the following:
We remove users rights to PM when they abuse the facility. Pete and Fly both abused this facility by attempting to draw members away to a different forum. The offending PM's can be produced from the database if necessary.
I'm not sure why it's necessary to keep slandering the ChesterfieldForum on here, we're more than happy to co-exist as with the other Chesterfield based forum websites. Obviously, it's your forum and you can do as you wish with it, but please don't post mistruths. The forums can easily move on together without the unnecessary 'warring'.
I won't be posting again, if the users wish to see the offending private messages I will happily pass them on via private message or email.
-
At last, I wondered whether CF PMs were private or not.
Now, if your members want to stop coming on here under false names, we can all move on.
Thanks for posting Prospero.
-
Private to everyone but the Administrator - same with your forum. Same with any forum software to my knowledge. If you know how to access the database you can read them, they're only read if something is reported or there is some concern over the potential content.
No problem, just wanted to clarify the situation. I know there's an element of bad blood between us but i'd rather not air the dirty linen so to speak.
-
Oh, furthermore, I can't stop the members posting under false names but we did try to deter it once we heard what was happening.
-
Prospero, I've PMed you.
-

May i just add to this, I being a newbie to both sites have recieved a 'sarcastic pm from one of CF members when they found out I had posted on here. No one elses business but my own where i post and because of the offending pm I don't use the CF anymore. Shame really as i enjoyed posting on there as i do on here, but i won't be bullied!
That's all I won't post on this again.
-
Good job me and someone else hadn't been having cybersex via PM. The shame :o
@Prospero
PM'ed you
-
I regularly post on both. Don't see why that can't happen.
There should be no political undertones to free forums whatever is proposed to be discussed.It's a free forum, therefore any subject is available for discussion.
If the admins remove the posts for whatever reasons, then that is not free speech.
Its free speech, but I don't think its appropriate, so I will censor it, which is wrong.
If that element of free speech then gets a constructive and informative reply by people who disagree with its content - fine, but still open to discussion
Just because an admin thinks your comments are inapropriate is not, in my opinion worthy of deleting it.
-
I've never asked any CF members not to post on there instead of here, AFAIK :)
People join and post on this forum by choice. Not pressure.
-
See my comments on t'other site. Practically word for word.
Open discussion time.
I'll either have access to both or neither.
Not bothered either way :P :P

Re: ChesterfieldOnline/ChesterfieldForum
I just don't understand why there is animosity between two Chesterfield based forums. As I've said I'm on both, and find them both very interesting.
It's just sad that folks can't get on with each other.
Thats all really.
I'm just a simple person, but think all the "politics" between the two sites (lets face it I've seen lots of comments), its about time folks grew up a bit.
My final point/ comment.
Not saying anymore.
Probably said too much anyway.
-
At least people can continue to discuss this issue on this forum ;)
-
IMO, a place where you are not allowed to comment, or say what you believe, is not a forum. I might pop in for a quick read, but won't contribute. Their attitude seems to be very childish to say the least.
Credit to Pete and Fly for getting this forum off the ground so well, (and anyone else involved, Slacker??).
-
I stopped posting because posts were getting chopped if the moderators disagreed with what was being said. Not really bothered what people write on there because I don't read it any more.
-

I disagree. Credit to the members/posters of this forum.
The good people of Chesterfield and surrounding area's who want to voice their opinions freely.
Prospero still hasn't anwered my PM ::)
And no animals, posts or threads were injured/deleted/locked during the time it took me to post this :-X

I didn't get it off the ground, just gave it a bit of publicity on Facebook & Twitter

All over now folks - Chris and I are OK again.
Lets let this one die.
-
Pleased to hear that Pete :)
-
Pleased to hear that as well ,i do not post often on either forum but like them both and have a nosey round most days on the two.
-
Here's to the future :)
Time to drop the past.
-
I'll drink to that :D
-
See you at the next xmas meet if not before :)
-
