Would this be an odd set up?

Admin/Moderator, look at the link below what is in the public domain. The persons name in question is on the "Information" tab of their DiyNot Profile, not to mention the "Home Page" link listed on the page linked below goes to their personal website (what also contains their real name) what in turn links to their YouTube Channel!

I frankly don't see how what I posted was in issue anyway when one can easily find out what I posted as in the public domain. Was not like I published anything that was not already known publicly.
Can you please restore my original post.

Eveares, please stop using "what" when "that" is the correct word.
I don't mean to be a pedant, but it really does make you appear to be far less intelligent than you have already proved to be.

I had a read of those rules and they are very incoherent, a random mixture of
To post those as a link to justify removing a post is surely embarrassing for whoever wrote them and certainly not productive?
PS this thread is very funny!
- best practices such as good quoting and keeping things on topic,
- commercial roles like don't advertise,
- warnings such as don't rely on information, and
- actual rules about harmful things like don't abuse other members or post their personal information.

I try my best, but correct grammar has always been a weakness and struggle for me. I personally feel it is more important that one understands on what I am trying to convey.
What I am struggling to grasp or comprehend is why it is not acceptable to post a members name in response to a question, when not only can that be found out from their profile page, but in addition it is very likley that their name has been mention on other DiyNot threads in the past (i.e. some way saying something like: Thank you for your help **** ****.) without causing an issue.

Agree, I suspect that the moderators have as little information about their job as i have gleaned from reading the rules linked above. So I'm not sure you can blame them for struggling! Blame the system not the player

I think the French use plug sockets, where on the wall the line and neutral are sockets but earth is a pin sticking out
Re the Video:-
It seems that the term now preferred by manufactures (and others) is "Socket Outlet" (https://www.clipsal.com/Trade/Produ...Socket-Outlets-Standard-Range?c=1&ms=1&mg=314)
There are, of course, "Socket Inlets", used for Caravans, Mobile Homes etc. (https://www.officially clipsal.com/Trade/Products/Catalogue/Industrial/Schneider-Electric-Electrical-Distribution/Electrical-Accessories/Switches-and-Socket-Outlets/Socket-Outlets-General/Sockets-Inlet?c=1&ms=1&mg=336&g=3362354)
A combined "Plug/Socket" similar to the item shown towards the end of the video is here known as a "Socket Adapter Plug" (but, colloquially, as a "Piggy Back Plug".)
In New Zealand it is known as a "Tapon" plug. (https://www.showtechnix.co.nz/store/pdl-940/)
Maybe, but even that introduces some uncertainties/ambiguities, since some use "socket outlet" to refer to the actual "outlet" - such that a "1-gang socket" ("single socket") has one "socket outlet" and a "2-gang socket" ("double socket") has two "socket outlets".
This has caused ongoing arguments about the current 'rating' of MK double sockets. Their documentation indicates that (other than 3-gang ones, which are fused for 13A total) their sockets are 'rated' at "13A per socket outlet" - and, despite my attempts to get definitive answers from them, there is still discussion/debate/argument about what the rating of one of their 2-gang sockets actually is.

Rules don't have to make sense.
Indeed - and I presume that such is part of the training of those who create rules

I seem to remember any socket with a device be it a filter, a RCD or any other made by MK is rated 13A per unit, but those with are simple double sockets are 13A per socket.
Well, you may 'remember' that from somewhere, but it's more than the various MK tech support people I've spoken to have been able to tell me.
It seems all a bit daft (aka almost certainly wrong!), really. What is written in MK's data sheet ("13A per socket outlet") can only really be interpreted as meaning that the max total load on double socket is either 13A or 26A, yet I don't think hardly anyone believes the former, and a lot don't believe the latter!
Kind Regards, John
