I'm not saying that I personally think this; just that they run the risk that others might. This strikes me as being a "really really good reason" for wanting to set the record straight ... assuming it's not true of course.Comment

Hi,
Thanks for the queries Wary, sorry for not answering this sooner but running the forum is not a full time job for either myself or any of the admins. It really is a superb place for contractors to get information and feedback about their situations but we do not have the resources to monitor all posts and also to give feedback like this so apologies for missing your initial questions about this but I just tend to skim posts like this when they are highlighted.
The post was reported by a forum user (and I know enough about the person to know they are not a brolly employee in disguise) to say that the company name was being reported. We have had legal threats from many companies where they have been mentioned so it is something we are wary of. When a post like this crops up I usually try and go back to the original poster and ask for some sort of proof as to their claims, an email trail or scanned letter etc. If these can be provided then we are happy to let threads run, if not then we do tend to either delete threads or remove company names. If company names are hidden then there is nothing stopping you using the Private Messaging system to contact the thread starter to ask who it was.
I do not know why on this occasion I did not ask the thread starter for evidence. As I said earlier, I and the other mods also have real life jobs to do and the forum is often the last on our list of priorities so I expect I was in the middle of something and the quickest thing for me once I saw the post report was to just remove the company name.
I will keep an eye on the thread so feel free to reply here or PM me if you have any more questions.
