Accepted that you may not directly have access, however I am interested in the webteam directly based on the quote above from Eamon that individual PM's can and have been viewed and the comment from a member that a PM was viewed by a moderator prior to him reporting it.

I have no desire or interest in specific pms that you have or have not seen, I am however very interested in the policy or rule that would allow you to do so if you so wished. I am interested in where that policy is clearly stated for forum users.

I know I am not a paid up member - but if I was I would be calling for the MT/Web Moderator to be sacked and a new set or at least a modified set of "rules" to be written + I, as a paid up member would want to be voting in a new member of the MT if not the whole MT itself - cause at the moment they all seem to be a little on the power-crazy side!!!!

Stop bitching about what HAS happend and do something about what WILL happen - its your club - isnt it???

Both areas are subject to the same rules and regs as stated in the "Forum rules" section seen on the menu bar above.

I do agree with the first part of your message.
But I'm really really sad to read the second one.

It's a shame, a real shame. In no way you can apply the same set of rules to a public forum and a private messaging system. Whatever you think people are using those private messages for.

I always try to stay out of the politics as much as possible. I always think twice about the outcome before writing anything on that message board (or any other message board). But now it will be very difficult for me to support a MT which don't respect my privacy.

Yes it bloody is. Weeksy your comment is rubbish. If I am rude with you by PM, then forward the said PM to whoever may take action. But you should not tolerate anyone having a look at it without you prior consentment.

This place is going crazy.

you're pushing against an open door as far as many members are concerned. it is however just not that easy.

Unfortunately, I was abroad and arrived home quite late Saturday night. As I was out all day Sunday with the DSC Sussex regional meet I have still not had time to catch up on my e-mails.

Other than saying that statements were communicated to me that were not public, I cannot be more specific Eamonn.

I am not aligned with any group, I have moved against any action to split the club whatever the source. I want to see fairness from all parties and responsibility to the membership in general, only then can we, the MT, expect the membership to respect us. I am extremely disappointed that the MT would see fit to authorise such espionage on a fellow MT member and even more disappointed that the WebTeam would be a party to it.

As previously stated by myself on page 8 of this thread....."Imagine if Hitler had the web back in WWII I doubt it would be much different to this" shockingly truthful it seems.Couple of sites that maybe of use here:-http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1998/19980029.htm http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk./ http://www.webforum.org.uk/legal_and...protection.asp

Sorry for the rubbish mate, I couldn't control my feelings. I still can't believe what I read though.

I'm way further of my country that I thought before... I may even already be on the other side of the Atlantic ocean...
