Is it ok if I post your PM to see if it is a reflection of what you are saying above?Alan Burke wrote:I did mention to the moderators that I thought it not within their remit to use someone else's name without their permission and stated I would be looking at taking proceedings about that situation unless my name was removed as the author.

Re: Off Topic Stuff
I believe my PM said:Alan Burke wrote:The first solution by one moderator (Carl Hibbard), rather than taking any action against the "hacker" of my name, was to suggest that he delete all my posts and my account from the forum;
Carl Hibbard wrote: If you still feel strongly that your account (or your computer) has been compromised security wise then there is an option in this software to delete your account and all your posts
Do you wish me to proceed?

Whilst this is possible (and only be me) Ernie the option has never been used and was not the cause of the issueErnie Lazenby wrote:Crikey if we cannot trust the moderators not to use a members login who do we trust? Please tell us this is not what happened or is the last post by Alan another hacked job?

The Moderators do a difficult job – not one I would volunteer for.Carl Hibbard wrote:There is no logging in or hacking as you seem to suggest?Alan Burke wrote:However, I think everyone should now be aware of this situation of a moderator using someone else's name in this forum.
If a moderator splits a thread apart into two as they are quite entitled to do then whoever is the first person in that new thread is listed as the author of that thread
Nothing sinister it's the way this software works?
I'm sure a lot of threads have been split off this is an important part of the job to make sure that they are in the right place and I have not seen any complaints before.
The forum gives a lot of us a portal through which to express our views and without Carl, Jack & Sean we would not have a forum – food for thought
Re: Off Topic Stuff
Carl Hibbard ... why should I give such permission when you failed to even answer my question regarding your warning for ignoring a moderator's request as well as then posting your above comment concerning legal action when you knew such proceedings were not going ahead ?

Re: Off Topic Stuff
On the bright side, at least this is all now being posted in the right thread.
I told Alan to go ahead and issue proceedings. I like a bit of sport, but Carl has spoilt that.
Can I complain?!
