We've had this situation several times in the past and each time it has amounted to nothing.

The admin team will decide what is and is not appropriate use on CF.

I'm sure that made you feel very good about yourself. However no VM employee should be concerned about their employer finding out who they are on CF. However for balance, that is not a licence to be abusive towards other users (we've had to have the odd quiet word in the past but nothing serious).
As previously explained, it is not correct to say that VM cannot identify personnel without information from CF. In the overwhelming majority of cases this course of action would not even be considered. I have nothing further to add on this matter.

Hugh IS a member of the admin team and I find it bizarre that he should want to stir things up on a forum that he works on

Re: the individual who was reported. It wasn't a case of doing it to benefit myself, it was a case of doing the right thing to protect the reputation of the company (and at the same time the jobs of the hardworking and loyal majority).

I agree that a quiet informal word is initially the best way to deal with problems. In the vast majority of cases, no further action is required.

There is currently no evidence to confirm that the OP is, in fact, a member of VM staff.

I do not see how any of this is relevant to yourself as, if you behave appropriately towards VM and it's customers, none of this matters.

Additionally, you have not declared that you work for VM on your sig. This leads me to believe that you are either not a VM employee, or, are failing to comply with the forum policy. Which is correct?
