MERGED: Plz tell me this is a joke - Page 2

There's nothing wrong with .com really, the admin team seem to be a good bunch (I know one of them personally and have spoke on the phone to another 2) but their latest recruit comes to the team with a past which has more than a few people feeling uncomfortable. My guess is AshG put him there.

I get on well with Neil from .com and will continue to do so (hopefully!) but that's about it.

I was gonna leave .com some time ago, but Neil talked me in to staying, but putting Fraz in the Admin team was a HUGE mistake in my book.

Probably unrelated I'd say.

So I take it that this individual isn't very popular over at .com? I haven't come across him to really comment.

Russ · 29-10-2003, 22:52

Some people find him to ok.....

What I think should be realised is he would be the first person put on the team by NTL, as opposed to being voted on or invited by the mods/admins. That in itself should be noted.

Shaun · 29-10-2003, 22:53

I'm surprised that they made him an admin straight away, thats not normal practise is it Russ?

I wonder who'll be next, Kerry Ann?

My opinion would be that NTL have been thinking about this for a while and have been waiting for the right time to 'spring it on us'.

correct - fraz, in himself, has never seemed to me like a bad guy, he does post, with respect given, on all 3 main "hell" forums.

However - he is (correct me if I am wrong?) - associated with the security/legal side of NTL - given the recent data protection thread - in which fraz had an opinion, is this benign?

- I have an open mind - it doesn't affect us here

I don't think there's a connection there - from what I can see the decision to put him on the team was made before any of the current DPA issues came up.
