Ryan and Ian, I'll put your tickets for Japfest in the same envelope which you should get by the weekend

Oh Kev, I am so sorry to hear that. Good luck with your chemo treatment though

Wow, that was certainly a career shift! Is that be at Addenbrookes?

I bet you can't wait til Thursday!! I drove one on Saturday and I must have I'm very jealous of those picking theirs up this week

I've not met up with the Cambridge guys for a long time, I'm sure they're still around though.

All good ta Kev

Oooh, very nice! When do you collect her?

Are you still in the "trade" or moved on?

Hey Kev,

I wondered if that was you who had joined the club

How are you? What's that you're driving then?

Kim

Is it a closed event Pele?

Your link isn't working Pele.

Shame I'm so far away, would have been great to catch up with you

I might pop along

The best of luck Floz. If you need any help then you know where we all are

I never mentioned that kim, its obvious that you are a grudge holder and feel the need to drag stuff up to assert authority, sorry but my respect has to be earned not granted freely,

I hold no grudges Scott, life is far too short, it was in fact you who brought up the subject of warnings and bans. No body has been banned from SIDC for a few years. All warnings recently are totally justified.

A point I must add is that many people have stopped posting here for fear of warning or bans because the banter is not understood due to it being scottish slang

Your warning was for a duplicate profile which was created solely to be used for flaming threads & discussions and trolling the forum, in which you pointed out it was to "wind Chris up".

I'd like to address all comments posted by Eddie that mention the current "Chair" of the club so I'll quote and reply inline.

I have been in the chair now for over a year and i can categorically say that i have never been contacted by any SIDC head staff about bringing the two clubs together, a few members and an RO contacted us about sorting joint meets and they kind of fizzled to nothing. we have the charity day next month which we are happy to attend and support which may be a start.

I personally contacted Frenchy about sorting the relationship between the two clubs which was not met with any sort of interaction, the jist i received was we are SIDC, what do you propose to how you will better the relationship.

Your first contact made with the club was with Andy on Sat 28th July 2012 - email subject was "Domain Registration, Scottishscoobies.co.uk" in which you enquired as to if we would be renewing the domain. If we weren't then you'd like to "purchase the name to go along with the .net and .org addresses".

You received a bounce back from Andy's email address, you the contacted John S who responded to you on the same day to advise that I would be the best person I deal with your query. I replied on the 10th August firstly apologising for the tardy response and advising you that we would in fact be renewing the domain.

I stated in my email to you that I would in fact like to see SIDC/.net form a relationship and yes, I asked you to have a think about how best to move forward with this. You acknowledged my apology and went straight into "So to get down to it. We are looking to secure the Scottishscoobies family of addresses".

Not the best way of attempting to "build relationships" don't you think?

I also offered my services when you were going through your current transition where the site was down, was more snubbed than acknowledged.

You emailed me on the 11th April 2013 - subject "Domain Registration, scottishscoobies.co.uk" offering assistance with our forum/website issues. At which point I replied on the 13th April thanking you for your offer and explaining our issues. How is that snubbing you? Surely you can understand the importance of safe guarding our website/forum/database content and information. We have a not so great host who we pay to deal with this and have done for a number of years and are in the process of securing a new host. We also have stum450n and ScoUK who assist with the maintenance of the databases and servers our side of things.

I personally do not know the history of the rivalry between SIDC/.net so I can not comment on this issues raised. However, these types of posts do not help to improve situations.

This is the second or third time you've mentioned these contacts with me in various threads and whilst you see it as "not cooperating or snubbing you", I personally do not feel that your contact with me has been in relation to "building relationships" between the two clubs. I am a patient and approachable person and am willing to help anyone out where I can but I cannot do everything for this club which is why we have a Committee, Regional Organisers and Moderators to all work together. I certainly won't make decisions that will reduce member numbers and traffic away from SIDC to another site for the sake of £12. I will do whatever I can to protect our members, their data and the future of this club and if that means "snubbing you" then so be it.

I'd be up for the Christmas party Floz

December 7th - Midlands Christmas meal, Leicester.

Sorry, won't be able to make this. Have a good day peeps

Sorry kim I only did it to wind up chris for a bit and it got out of hand wont happen again

Scott

Thanks Scott.

Sorry don its not in the rules that 2 people in the same household cant post on the same forum

No doubt it soon will be now....................

I post from 3g as well so its the network cartiers ip address

As I seem to be the butt of most of the jokes I don't think there has been any harm done and if anything it has been entertaining reading and I found myself in stitches reading the latest posts on the train home today. We all need a bit of light hearted humour now and again.Hats off to both of you for the laughs.Chris

No, having two accounts is not against the forum rules. However I find it difficult to understand why a paid member would have the need for two accounts.

I have been monitoring the posts made by Scott and specdogger since Sunday evening. I even have evidence that the account of specdogger was created by the same i.p address as Scott's.

We also know that he's not the only person from the region to set up a second account and introduce them self as a newbie before replying to them self.

Chris, you know full well it's not two people. Whilst you might find it amusing, the rules apply equally across the club. You yourself have been one actively calling for openness and consistency across the club, regardless of region. Being an RO, you surely cannot condone spamming and trolling of the forums - unless of course, you wish to release yourself of your role?

Without wishing to single out particular members of the Glasgow region, evidence states that recent activity can be seen as trolling of the forums which IS against the forum rules. As a general point, any such behaviour going forward from ANY member from ANY region across the club will result in an immediate removal of posting ability.

This is the first and final warning I am going to give. If you do not like it here then I suggest you go elsewhere. This club is for all members of all nationalities, not the reserve of a few and I ask that you respect other members and I ask that you respect the rules as they stand.

If you do not abide by the rules set by the club then I suggest you leave now and resign your membership.

I hope that this is the end of the matter and we can move forward.

Any update on this guys?

Thanks Kim.

Maybe worth putting this somewhere so people know what to do in future and will hopefully make life a bit easier for the committee members.

I forgot to mention thread pinning and complaints. Would thread pinning go to membership email address or pm to a moderator? Would complaints go to membership@sidc.co.uk? Not that I would expect anyone to have to use it.

Cheers

Chris

All contact info is here: http://www.sidc.co.uk/?page_id=77

Complaints depend on the nature. If it's membership related then membership@sidc.co.uk is the one to use, if it's shop order related then it's shop@sidc.co.uk

Any other complaints can be sent to either kim@sidc.co.uk or enquiries@sidc.co.uk

As for pinning of topics, where did you request this?

Just to clarify Kim,

-Support tickets get raised for any technical membership or forum related problems

- any suggestions or questions regarding club or forum should be sent to membership@sidc.co.uk

- anything to do with advertising goes to rachel@sidc.co.uk

- anything to do with truegrip articles goes to matty@sidc.co.uk

I have probably missed something out.

Chris

Almost Chris -

Advertising goes to advertising@sidc.co.uk

TG related items go to the Editor. TrueGrip@sidc.co.uk

hey kim . I havnt been near a laptop to raise the support ticket yet. Once i get to one i shall. Its not a big issue about my badge as i didnt even know my badhmge was showing as i use my phone to access the site mainly. it was just i noticed i still cldnt access the members area thats all. Not in any rush yet as theres not much that goes up in the members area and i dont frequent it that often. Only noticed i couldnt access it when i clicked a link on fb and it said it was restricted . So just thought id fire the post up stating as such.

thanks for the feed back and response here though.

Should get to a lappy in the next day or so.

Your problem is already fixed.

I suspect Don may have done this for you

The membership control panel (where you renew your membership and update your personal details) has overall control of the forums. RO, Moderator, Committee, Supporter badges are applied from the forums. Should anything be changed in the membership panel by either admin or the user then any changes made like RO badges are then removed.

Chris made changes, which he advised was amending his email address. This has resulted in the RO badge being removed by the system, the membership system does not know he's an RO - it only knows that he's a paid member of the club. It's not a glitch of the website or forums, the membership control panel is merely doing what it is programmed to do. It's just a case that the RO rights need to be re-applied to Chris' profile.

I also understand Pablo's membership status didn't update when he renewed his membership. In the event that a membership is allowed to expire, the system is supposed to know that upon renewing, his status needs to be changed to "member". This isn't happening as the software is out-of-date so it's a manual process. In the event that a member renews before his/her expiry date, this is classed as a future payment so no disruption will occur.

No support tickets have been raised for either Chris' or Paul's problem and therefore weren't dealt with. All support tickets raised recently have been answered or dealt with.

In future please do not rely on pms as I don't have notifications turned on to be notified of pms etc and I'd been away from the forums for a week or so which meant they weren't dealt with.
