I love it when VM staff are so worried that they can not possibly post on the VM forum without somehow saying something that could get them in trouble or put their jobs at risk. Shows a great deal of faith in the company they work for :)

They may have good reason. Back in the .com days when NTL owned it even I was told by several people not to post on it, despite it being public knowledge that I was a mod on there. Some members of management tried to take action against me until they received specific instructions from NTL HQ to allow me to get on with the site. Watching them get frustrated and being able to do nothing about it was extremely satisfying :D

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

If members only offer help and do not whistle blow or slag off the company what have they got to worry about? It almost sounds like they will find it impossible to post in a positive way about the company they work for lol

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

I have no such worries lol

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

yeah I have seen you doing a sterling job over there :tu: I should have said some staff :)

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

I have never ever posted negatively about the company I work for and nor would I have any reason to, if I did then why would I still be working for them.

I enjoy coming to this forum and others in my spare time to try and help people or read various posts on varied subjects, but I know that the is at least one company plant on here who has an hidden agenda against staff posters.

If Virginmedia can start a forum of their own to try and emulate the many varied forums already in existence you would expect them to welcome their own staff posting on there and other forums, but as seen in the post by Russ the is no way I or most of the other staff members on here would trust them to be honest and open and to let us continue to do so with no action taken by management.

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

I cannot work in a place like that and if I thought that way it would show in my posts;)

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

In which case you would be fine posting on the VM forum

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

I would but it is still the question of trusting them who are higher up, I would have to see something in black and white and that is never going to happen.

So would not touch via a dirty stick even via http://www.bypassfirewallnow.com/

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

but if you said nothing against the company and offered support what would they do to you? the only staff with anything to worry about would be whistle blowers and those who bad mouth the company surely.?

It would hardly be seen as a bringing vm into disrepute if you offer support and champion the company woudl it :)

its like Mr Bossman giving you a verbal warning for being efficient and helpful lol lol

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

You hear things from people in work about people who have posted all nice and proper and above board and have been dragged over the coals, so not willing to chance it.

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

fair enough :) their forum is doomed to fail then imo as whats the point if they expect none staff to be able to fully help what a waste of time

Re: Virgin launch Customer Forum
 

No-one I know has heard anything like that
