Is CAGbot on commission?

[gyzmo]

Just logged on and found NINE new messages in my PM box. OOh! I thought I was really popular all of a sudden. But nay, they're all from CAGbot. At first, I thought my new avatar had caused offence, but the last one was simply changed by an administrator (fair do).

 

A whole string of posts on one particular thread ("GM Group being dodgy") has been unapproved. Can someone enlighten me as to why? Everything I posted was factual. Had I not deleted the recordings from my mobile I could have even provided proof of everything that was said. Ex-employees have been on, as well as other recipients of phone calls from this company stating the same thing.

 

I thought the whole point of these forums was to provide information, help and advice to others. I believe I did that on the threads by warning people of the tactics used by that company as well as others.

 

Has a complaint been made? If so, I would have thought that CAG would have some backbone.

 

Yes, I am annoyed. If a valid reason can be given, fair enough. if it is just that some director is upset at his company being highlighted, well we might as well remove 90% of the threads on here, and I might as well leave.

(EDIT)

 

:o and you have only just realised ??

 

in all seriousness we all get Cagbotted at sometime or other ( me more then most lately ) but try looking at the reasons behind it .. as I can say all my moderated posts were justified .. and I'm sure if people got off their high horses then they too can see the reason .. if they can't then just ask the moderator concerned and they would tell you ...try looking more deeply ...... and if my sense of humour displeases you then don't read my posts .. you do have an ignore button

Ignoring the flippant nature of Janet's comments, it is only right that Gyzmo should have been told the reasons why his/her posts were moderated, the person concerned is not availble at the moment, but I wil lget back to Gyzmo by the end of the day if possible.

[gyzmo]

Well have had an answer. Seems a complaint has been made by the company. should be interesting outcome....

[Janet-M]

Sorry , Gyzmo for joking about before .. wrong time and place

 

I am glad you have now been given the reason

[Castlebest]

I await the arrival of CAGbot for my Citi thread in the General forum then

[magix]

It would seem fair to me that if a person has been cagbotted, then an explanation should be swiftly forthcoming. A newbie cagbotted in such a manner is not going to stay around.

[gyzmo]

Well Alanfromderby did email me an explanation following my post. I think an entire thread being deleted would mean that something serious was happening - I suspected a complaint made.

 

The thread incidentally has been re-instated with a caveat and some edits by Bankfodder. It seems to be to be the most sensible approach to the situation.

 

It look slike most comments against the company were fair on a factual basis, but CAG, wishing to protect itself, removed the more, ahem, less factual comments.

 

I think that is a definite one-up for CAG and for the consumer voice.

 

Thanks to Alanfromderby for updating me and especially to Bankfodder for not being a wimp in the face of the corporation!

[Rooster-UK]

Bankfodder for not being a wimp in the face of the corporation!

That's one thing that Bankfodder will never be. If he were, then CAG would never have existed.

reason......perhaps......maybe......possibly......alledgedly...

[gyzmo]

FUD jargon

/fuhd/ An acronym invented by Gene Amdahl after he left IBM to found his own company: "FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering [Amdahl] products." The idea, of course, was to persuade them to go with safe IBM gear rather than with competitors' equipment. This implicit coercion was traditionally accomplished by promising that Good Things would happen to people who stuck with IBM, but Dark Shadows loomed over the future of competitors' equipment or software.

Not sure whats inappropriate about that?

 

Where shall I begin to tell you ? ..

 

maybe (by PM ) you could explain how your version of what it means translated to what you said to me

 

or you could try looking up the meaning in a scottish dictionary

 

or I would be very willing to call you my version of what FUD means , of course by PM only .

 

 

Now stop acting like a little innocent when it was very clear what you meant ..

[gyzmo]

This is lost on me. Just checking alternatives of this acronym....

 

[gyzmo]

Just before this FUD thingy gets out of hand:

1. No offence taken as I didn't even know what it meant

2. There are quite a few definitions of this acronym

3. If I thought it was one of the more naughty ones, I probbly would have jus laughed anyway.

4. I have found a website full of my favourite smilies and have also learned how to put them on this forum - expect to see lots of smilies for no apparent reason other than I think they're funny (see above post)

 

Can we please now stop cat fights and remember we're all

Otherwise I'll

Even if you did, it was adressed towards Janet!

4. I have found a website full of my favourite smilies and have also learned how to put them on this forum - expect to see lots of smilies for no apparent reason other than I think they're funny (see above post)

Remember that you can only put a maximum of 6 per post (to save you the disappointment of putting loads and then finding you can't!!! And I hope you're not hotlinking direct from the site where you find them, cos that's naughty!

If you were, you should upload them to something like Photobucket (create a sub-folder just for your smilies) so you can then link from PB, which is what it's for. See my dummies' guide for how-to if you don't know. ;-)

No offence Stevo, but you always come across as one of the LB crowd - slate CAG, run off back to the motherland - then return when bored.
