Have I upset Screwfix?

[ericmark]

There was a post on the Screwfix forum were I guy went on about racialist comments on this forum, I said I have called myself a gog which I suppose is racialist, but that is only time I can seen anything racialist on this forum, and I am proud of being from North Wales.

Ever since when I try to get on it I get

Sorry, we're currently unavailable. Please check back later.

is that how they throw you off?

 

[DetlefSchmitz]

No, I see the same message at the moment (only tried because you said). Simple paranoia...

 

[whall3y]

Nah, the site is down you gog, has been for past few days

I too thought I had upset the Moderator, Peter, again. I feared suspension too. Luckily I have an inside informer

unfortunately, when it’s back, it still won’t include an idiot filter.

I remember sheds being on there many moons ago

The ban-all-sheds seen on here, screwfix, and Ultimate handyman has gone, there is some one who calls himself banallsheds who has turned up on screwfix but reasonably sure not same person. Ban-all-sheds was no where near as bad as banallsheds.

Yes, Winston1. How twisted is that.

 

[ericmark]

I was told it was same guy, but not seen any proof.

Annoyingly I have two notification showing when I login, and no way of seeing them

Screwfix Peter is a complete knob and I have vowed not to spend money with Screwfix again due to his actions.

Screwfix wanted to see my qualifications after which I was allowed extra discount with Electrofix, but then it stopped, now same price as everyone else, they send me a catalogue, but there are cheaper places, so still buy some LAP grid stuff, which is not sold anywhere else local, and socket spacers, but very little else there too expensive.

Only modulator problem I have had was with DIY Doctor, they said I had given dangerous advice, which since no one can see my posts until after passed by modulators is a bit strange as they should not have allowed the post to be viewed if suspect.

Had some problems with sysop when using packet radio, he did not like me sending 7Plus which I used for pictures. Hard to believe now we used a baud rate of 1200.

I try not to upset people, but we all make mistakes, and being dyslexic I some times don't realise when I have upset people, and tend to read what it says in English and don't read between the lines.

 

[Taylortwocities]

Yes, Winston1. How twisted is that.

Especially as he was a key ingredient in helping the real BAS having to leave this forum

I was told it was same guy, but not seen any proof.

The evidence is there. The same posting style.
The same reaction if anyone uses the word transformer.
the same reaction if anyone suggests having a BS1363 socket on a lighting circuit.
the same mantra that manufacturers instructions are wrong - he had posted the same image example of an MI from Cooke & Lewis as Winston and banallsheds on both forums.

it’s the same person.

it’s the same person.

That also sounds an awful lot like GeorgeCooke on the electricians forum...

 

[Taylortwocities]

Yes, him too. Although he’s not been seen on there much recently.

here’s his image on here

Can’t post his input from SFX ‘cos it’s down at the moment!

I couldn't agree more!

He deleted posts of mine, claimed I'd said things I hadn't and gave me "warnings" for them, then banned me completely.

Tried to complain to SF head office but clearly they're his mates as they refused to even look into it, needless to say my accout hasn't been used since, they've lost themselves in the region of £5000-7000 because they wouldn't deal with one jumped up moderator!

Glad to have joined here, good to see some of the old SF names are here!
