Perhaps it's time one or two hung u the ban-hammer so they can enjoy the forum without conflict of interest, I don't know who would want to be a mod anyway! Nominate NF though...
Yesterday I had to correct a mod because he thought he understood how umbrella firms work and the relationship between a contractor and their umbrella (he didn't).
Likewise I've had to correct a different mod for similar reasons in the recent past.
This isn't a matter of rough and tumble, it's a simple case of talking completely inaccurate codswallop in a professional forum about things they don't actual know enough about to be able to accurately talk about it - and given their position (alongside how other professional forums work where the mods are experts in that field) it's rather dangerous.Last edited by eek; 4 November 2021, 12:44.

It's just frustrating that he won't learn. How many times does he have to post the same moan, get an exasperated comment from a mod, have it closed yet will do it again before he learns. It's very frustrating. He's pissing off the very people he's trying to ask for help. It's just ridiculous.

Yep - 1 is a 1 trick pony obsessed by money.
The other is just plain thick

Or, God forbid, have different views at certain things.
You put yourself into small box of your views and attack everyone outside it.
Lame to say at least.
