Despite your claims of bravado, Virgin Media will not be able to identify anyone posting on here unless that individual has made their identity known by other means.

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?

Try re reading his signature as it is virtually identical to mine.

RichardCoulter; can I ask whether or not you've been a VM employee before or even been in contact with heads up top at VM at any point prior to this?

I have never been an employee of VM. I frequently speak to a member of senior management in a social capacity.

btw, I think that your reply was fine too.

Apologies re the sig, my mistake

Good, because it will get you nowhere.

He does not work on here, he gives up his free time as a moderator (not an admin) however he is on the team and if he decides something is not appropriate then his decision will be abided by.

I'm sure you feel proud of yourself for being so upstanding in your civic duty. I wonder if you go after politicians in the same way.

As in this case too. No further action will take place.

The subject of getting VM staffers in trouble over what they post on CF ends here and now.

Any further discussion on it will see posts deleted and infractions issued.

I maintain my view that work is work, paid or unpaid. A lot of work is done by volunteers and this does not make the work less valuable or important.

I cannot see any posts that Hugh deemed were not appropriate and have thus far never questioned or appealed against any of his moderator decisions.

Proud is not a word I would use to describe my feelings after being left with no choice but to take appropriate action against an individual. I was, however, happy that the public face of VM had been improved and, hopefully, that the individual concerned had been given a chance to develop their personal growth and development by way of an attitude adjustment.

I agree with your view about politicians and that this subject has run it's course

To clarify, I am a supporter of this forum and have offered both donations and sponsorship to help it continue long term.

Regrettably it seems people don't know when to stop. This thread which was supposed to be about a new VM employee asking about their potential role at the company has been unecessarily diverted. Time to close it.

As I recall, this was after your attempts to have certain posts removed failed.

To further clarify - while we are always pleased to hear that people wish to support us, we do not accept donations or sponsorship from any members, and havent for many years.

I see you reported my post, the report has been dismissed.

I refer you to the following clause in our T&C's

Site Owners Prerogative: You will acknowledge and accept that while we do have these established site terms of use here at CF, it is important to remember that this is a privately owned discussion group. Any requests and/or demands made by the OWNERS on this Forum AT ANY TIME must be obeyed, including those that countermand other established rules and regulations including those displayed in the rules or FAQ. Failure to do so will result in termination of one’s user account.

I hope this makes things clear for you.
