More relevant to this thread, what are the NED candidates views on the Weighted Voting case?

Is this forum/thread "public" (indexed and searchable) or "private" (in terms of only available to members) ?
 
TIL helmet and acorn are still around :ROFLMAO:

Is he still allowing homophobic abuse on there and censoring people who call it out, rather than booting the dodgy people? (Then removing posts/threads to cover his tracks...!)

public (indexable), and accessible to anybody with the URL.

Noted. I felt it may be worth considering the "distribuition" of posts/comments - perhaps the Nominet forum is a more appropriate location for specifics about members/membership as it directly affects those than are (or can be) part of that forum.

This particular thread is public, but there's a private members-only non-indexed sub-forum here: https://4m.uk/forums/members-only/

You might also want to address @Ree's half-allegations against you. He's so vague that I have no idea what he's talking about, but I imagine you know.

IMHO he should either spell out what's troubling him so you can respond properly, or delete the offending posts. As @GreyWing points out above, the current state of affairs is not fair to you.

I agree. As someone running for NED, it’s important you are transparent, even if this random username is talking nonsense. Not that he’s given you much in the way of anything to respond to, as you have no idea who he is.

What makes you think he has no idea who I am?

You are right Jeff, He might want to address my comments before he loses the opportunity. I haven't forgot my promise to clarify what is going to happen between myself and Nominet over the next few days.
 
Just a quick note: I promise indexing wont be escaped on this occasion and if any attempts are made to obscure my posts. I have a forum myself but I like it here so I will be sticking around as it is such a friendly place and we have a few things to resolve.

Hello Rees

It can assure you not a case of blind loyalty to anyone, in the 10-15 years he's been around, nobody else has flagged an issue with Rob - and this is a small world.

I do know the background to this and have for sometime, if there were truth to it, I would expect other avenues for resolution to have been taken, which they weren't. It's not something that should be discussed or even hinted at on a forum in my opinion, this is very unfair to Rob who is rightly not fanning the flames in public.

All I can do is repeat what I said previously, I'd have no problem voting for or recommending others vote for Rob.

Good afternoon Graeme,

Again, I appreciate you direct and straight talking regarding what you think is factual and I appreciate you engaging me on this. I say 'what you think' because you have only heard one side of this issue. You heard it from someone who ran in a panic to his 'friends' to get a very distorted set of facts (BS) to protect himself in anticipation of a backlash from his very own premeditated conduct. Now, I find this interesting because the 'friends of Rob' society have no idea what evidence I have in my possession. I would also like to respond to your comment regarding my actions being 'unfair to Rob', Rob is solely responsible for any grief he is getting and going to get. I'll DM you the reason why nothing of a legal nature hasn't occurred up to this point but that may can change at anytime.

I would appreciate a DM letting me know what Rob's version of events are so I can respond accordingly but knowing his character I am sure I can figure out what BS he has been feeding you. His panic driven attempt to get in first raise suspicion in it's self?

Your opinion and views are respected , however, I disagree very strongly with your last statement so I will make my own and caution any hasty alignment with this creepy individual.

I strongly recommend others DO NOT vote for Rob Golding and urge Nominet to kick him off the ballot immediately.

Sorry @Ree, but this isn't the clarification you promised. It's just school playground stuff.

And although Rob's legs aren't visible in his profile picture, I'm going to hazard a guess that he doesn't do ballet.

Thanks for pointing that out and this is not your clarification as it is a response to Graeme. Your clarification is coming regarding Nominet allowing this individual to be part of a supposedly respectable organisation. Nominet will get a call from me (again) voicing my very serious concerns. If they choose to not respond or just ignore it the there will be a major escalation which will effect quite a lot in the members directory. I am not fucking about on this, I promise. Now, I will be fully justified in my actions due to Nominet not responding to Meskonis, when he called them to warn them about Golding and nor did they get back to me when I rang them to back up and confirm what Meskonis had told them, so, they had the opportunity sometime ago when the clown first ran ran for the post and lost. This time it wont be so easy to ignore.

Could you clarify your comment and be a little clearer with your point. Hey Hook, are you one of Rob's friends???

And your reasoning for this is? For all the wider members of the forum know this may be that once Rob refused to hold the door open and you've been bitter ever since.

As of this moment in time all any of us who may be voting can do is vote based on what's been shared by the candidates for their opinion. Until such evidence as to why Rob is no longer a viable candidate has been presented he, at least from my perspective, remains a viable candidate for someone to vote or.
