STM Statement - Page 9

Virgin Media or Virgin Mafia?
Grr.
Sorry to hear it Trax. Truth hurts.
What a bunch of pathetic Cyber Cops.
Sort everyone else out on Be and go public.

:edit: Ought to make it clear I didn't see any of your posts so can't comment on what you said.
I have seen the staff there disconnect someone before though - though it's within their AUP to do so, I thought that was damn harsh too.
I think the staff have the capability to stop things before they get to this stage & from what I've seen of AB's attitude in his posts, he doesn't exactly promote harmony. Pot, kettle, black to an extent, perhaps.

Edit : Also been told i am not allowed to release any info regarding any STM trials as well.

Did they threaten you about having to have a tattoo consisting of just numbers?

Your comments were pretty harsh, mate!
Not that they justified such an arrogant, bullying and potentially illegal reaction.
I was rolling around in fits but I can imagine Alex would have been furious!
(But far too cowardly to engage you in open debate, I note.)

I wonder if the CF mods would be willing to set you up with a second account for, let's say, your more controversial posts?
I mean, it's an issue of your right to free speech!
(And ours to hear dissenting views and leaked information.)

Don't stop your posts, just shuffle identities?

So Mr A Brown visits this site does he?Well how come he's not listening then?Or making his presence felt. Or actually engaging in a conversation with his customer base?

Sounds rather cowardly to me.

Sheesh!
I think he only popped into VM's newsgroups to try to justify the new STM statement -- haven't noticed his royal presence since.

Yeah, but you wouldn't want to repeat that in vm.feedback!

[QUOTE=TraxData;34530900]I wasnt on the official trials, i am ex staff...and was put on area basis trial (there is practically staff in every area testing connections for load balancing issues)QUOTE]

and they left you on when you left the company... that seems to be a bit of an oversight... what modem do you have to use for the 50Mb?

No but I'll state it load and clear on a site where VM have no right to dictate what is said in a PUBLIC forum..Provided no insider secrets are given out...and it's hardly a secret about STM after all.Or Phorm.Or price increases.

Quite a good read that on the newsgroups, nice one for standing up.

If (sorry when) it does go 24/7 I think I'll have to leave the BB side of VM and look elsewhere.

Would have liked to have seen for myself but appears to have been deleted from the server?

PeteTheMusicGuy · 17-04-2008, 16:34

I'm guessing no one made a copy of it as I would have liked to have seen it too

Yea...it's still there, just a fair few of my posts have been deleted.

Grabbed all new (24 hours or so worth) headers and bodies earlier and couldn't see anything. I'll try a reset.
Cheers.

If they have been deleted a reset won't bring them back

There should be 248 posts in the thread, and 9 of which are from Darren.
