Re: post 1557

its 'insomniac vampire' though seeing as you Keep referring to me as 'insomic' im beginning to think your quite funny now

"no i didnt yikes it the phontom yiker strikes again"

im gonna back you up there cos unless youve recently obtained a pc you cant yikes them can you, no you run off telling someone else to do it

"i dont belive i have broken the house rules???but hey what can you do mate"

well nothing as a matter of fact cos some of the aces can get away with breaking the house rules, seems acceptable on this site

"i never followed insomic vampire around h2g2 i have been to her page becouse i know that awol will post there"

im gonna have to check the backlog in this thread cos i dont 'think' thats quite what you said before

"insomic vampire doesnt want people subscribed to her post's or if you have an ace badge within 500 meters of her i saw awol in there talking to insomic vampire"

i have already told You Intern, in this thread, Dont misquote me and do not presume to know what i think, i dont have a problem with people subscribing to my posts to chat to me, my problem is being spied on and as has already been established in this thread its about 'some' aces Intern so dont give a false impression of me intentionally or otherwise to anyone subscribed to this thread!

"i went away to ask for the post to be yikest becouse he is a baned researcher the when i get a message some one had posted it was isomic vampire telling awol that i had grassed him up she was lurking in my space(i wondered how many times previous she had also lurked on my space or glanced at my messages something that she wants stoping the bookmarks becouse they was trying to get into an argument with me to go some way to comeing onto this thread and say an example i didnt want that but wanted to know what further insults would be cast against me or the ace group so i bookmarked which isnt against the rules"

so you had infact whilst spying on 1 of my conversations also subscribed to it at that point, you seem very offended that i have called you a grass, but isnt that what you are? sorry if the word offends but i call it like it is, yes i did go onto your page as i explained in here prior, you knew Awol was online because you was talking to him in this thread at the time, so why the need to go into my other thread aswell? you say Awol likes to play the game but i dont believe hes the only 1 is he

trust me Intern i have not lurked on your page even nearly as much as you'd have people believe, im really not that sad

i was not trying to get into an argument with you Intern, as i recall i said it was bad enough being spied on by 'some' aces but to have them jump in to aggrivate a situation was out of order or something like that, i asked you to leave the thread, you didnt so you continued to post in it, after kicking off, (as you have come to expect from me which is why 'some' of you do it), i said i was going to unsubscribe which i did, have you unsubscribed from my thread yet?
you or anyone else, aces included, is welcome to check the thread, i think its under 'hey vampire' under my message box, oh but you know that already dont you

you dont remember speaking to me on L.D? been over this before in this thread havent we? lol yeah ok whatever..and as for holding grudges, well me, you and your pals will have to agree to differ on that wont we

by the way since you feel the need to point out how nasty i can be, try to remember whilst you are intentionally clouding peoples judgement of me that i was not the only person in that thread, and i was not the only person that opened my mouth 'so to speak'

insomniac vampire...

oops <sorry typeo about the typo

well nothing the aces get away with breaking the house rules seem`s acceptable on this sit...

that is nothing more than conjecture and her say seen there no proof


i will have to check backlog becouse i dont think thats what you said before...

you check but i think its more or
less what i said....

i told you not to miss quote me

so now you are saying that you dont mind people visiting your space and messages then but when i weant into your thread you cause alarm and said it was arrasment??????.....

so you had infact been spying on me..

No i wasnt spying just haveing a wonder around and called in at your space to find awol there messageing and seen as he is a baned researcher needs to be yikest im afraid i will check becouse im sure that was a different name and was the day after that as a matter of fact becouse he came on every one of conversations bookmarking

hes not the only one who likes playing games...

im afraid you are wrong again see im a adult now and gone passed the point
where i play games so yes he is the only one

trust me iv not spied on your page....

hummm i will do some checking becouse
1)you havent spyed on me
2)and not subscribed to my posts

ok so how did you know that i had sent that message and previouse in the thread when we was haveing this disscution the first time arround didnt you say that you was on my space thats how you saw what i said

l.d

yeh i think we will have to agree to dissagree here

clouding peoples jugment....

as i said before you was what kow
was talkng about you so i used one post as a example that you posted that related to you i know there was some one els in the thread but they are not so much involved in the conversation so there is no need to bring them into it

any missquoteing you is not done intentionaly but accedently and no offence is meant

so i am to stop missquoteing
you i will

then untill you obtain proof of any wrong doing by me/other aces stop makeing conjuctor/her say comments to
cloud other peoples judgment about me/other aces
and make out that im/we are h2g2 police which is a untrue staitment and also untrue that i/we "grass"people up yet again a fales staitment becouse Aces
(untill you prove other wise) try to insure it stays a freindly site and do try there best to stop others breaking the house rules

so please refrain from any more derogatry/defemation of my name/other
aces name untill you have proof that i/we have done any thing to break the house rules

Intern....so r u admitting its YOU who gets the posts yikesed ??....or is it tit for tat ???....(which seems the case to me)....

A while back u unsubscribed to this thread,but keep poppin in incase ya see more users posting about u...thats a guilty ccncience !!

Question....what did these posts say ??...& because they wern't inteneded for your eyes u thought u would get em hidden....I belive that to be "butting in"..or..."spying" !!!


tut tut

Biriyani.....

so you are admiting you got the page yikest......

what post did i get yikest under the "hi vamp" yes any on here no
i have never deinyed geting the post yikest but my reasons are the ones i have said before he is a baned researcher he couldnt follow the rules when he was onsite wh was on the cooling off period he made up false names to continue attacking people on site which the rules say you are under no sercemstance meant to do like i said im a adult i dont do games.....

a while back you unsubscribed to this thread but keep`t popping in...

im not guilty of any thing as far as im aware there has been no proof of any wrong doing to any one i unsubscribed for my own reasons and my reasons alone then i had a think about it a decided to do some thing a lot of other aces have done subscribe to keep abreast of what has been said seen i was in from post one
but the ones who have just subscribed
have they a guilty concience then i dissagreed with something some one said and in true h2g2 spirit wanted to add mythats why started posting again....

what did the post`s say

dose it realy matter what they said that is jus a subtext to the conversation at hand h2g2 rules/some aces code of conduct to which im sure
we dont want to be side tracked any more

they wern`t inteded for my eyes...

but h2g2 is meant for every one with very few limitations so any one passing through it wasnt for there eyes but they would still be able to read them researchers as young as 12 use the site if its not sutable it shouldnt be on h2g2 and needs to be yikest no matter who wrote it what thread it is on

who covered beefys page up? turned up to find something about house rules buisness. dont bother bully and bully wont bother you if ya know what i mean .

IS THIS MATTER EVER GOING TO BE RESOLVED ?
Cos if this was just researchers on this thread ead the whole lot would probably have been yikesed well before now..why don`t you just unsubscribe then avoide each other this is an en enormous sight and i`m sure you can all just carry on with normal conversations and put all this bickering behind you especially since the introduction of `Ican` just go on there have a "private"(?) chat and forget it all..I did
UNSUBSCRIBE

Re: post 1555

intern, i have asked you before, dont misquote me, that is not what i said, if you are going to quote somebody quote 'exactly' what they say, if you cant remember dont make it up! do you understand what it means to libel or slander somebody? i would suggest you find out

"so now you are saying that you dont mind people visiting your space and messages then but when i weant into your thread you cause alarm and said it was arrassment"

i wish you would 'read' my posts properly before you reply to them as it gets very frustrating having to explain everything to you over and over, if you dont read them properly you wont understand whats being said
ok '1' more time just for you..i have no problem with people or aces for that matter coming into my thread to chat to me if thats the reason they are there, what i object to is being spied on, goaded or followed around this site, theres a word for that..since you are so fond of perpetually quoting the rules perhaps you know which 1 im referring to?

"no i wasnt spying just haveing a wonder around and called in at your space to find awol there messageing"

thats rubbish! you know very well Awol was online because you was talking to him at the same time in this thread, there was no need to come on my page, you chose to because you seem more interested in my conversations than anyones!

do you seriously 'think' i am subscribed to any of your conversations? have i ever said i was? why would i want to be subscribed to your conversations? im surprised by how often you have been on my PS you do not already know the answer to that..i can assure you if i was subscribed to any of your conversations it would be completely unintentional believing them to be someone elses, but to satisfy your confidence go take a look, bring your book with you

"ok so how did you know i had sent that message"

i have already explained this but yet again you want to go backwords in this thread, go read my post again i have explained my actions already, seeing 1 of your posts hardly constitutes to spying

"as i said before you was what kow was talking about you so i used one post as a example that you posted that related to you i know there was some one els in the thread but they are not so much involved in the conversation so there is no need to bring them into it"

no this was a deliberate attack, as i said to cloud peoples judgement of me, i was not the only person in that conversation, and i was not the only person to have posts yikesed in it, you have stated that that researcher is not so much involved in this conversation, look 3 or 4 posts up to the post i am replying to, she has been reading the conversation and when she felt it necessary she has contributed, i cant remember all that was said in that thread now except it did get silly and we both pretty much said things we shouldnt have, however, i am not here to defend myself, i know ive said things on site in the past i shouldnt have and admit to them, the topic of this conversation is the aces code of conduct not mine

erm how could i cloud peoples judgement about the aces or staff for that matter? thats rather patronionising dont you think researchers have a brain of their own? they can look at examples on this thread and around this site and come to their own conclusions about what is going on here and if the ace/staff are abiding by the same rules they expect us to without any help from me

Re: post 1569

'Ican' is not strictly private, any staff can read it as i understand and guru's, if those guru's are also aces then some aces can read those 'private' threads too

re post 1556
whos in charge in these parts? theres got to be summat sorted i come for a a gentle peaceful chat .and the bosses are fighting like an leave bully alone ?

No I think you are mistaken on the Guru and private threads matter. I'm one of that happy band and there has been no announcements in our Yahoo group to the effect that we can go snooping, nor the release of any buttons or tools to do the job. As far as I know it is only BBC staffers who have that set of privileges.

Sorry, I missed out the referencing etiquette that seems to be the norm in this thread. My posting 1574 is in reply to Insomniac Vampires's posting 1571.

Greydesk

yeah i could be, but i heard from someone who seems to know what they are talking about..i can always ask again to make sure

if they are termed 'private' can i ask you whilst im thinking of it, why is it necessary to have anyone else reading a private msg? surely its not necessary to yikes something in a private msg that could hardly offend other researchers if they cant see it? cant think of any other reason why staff/maybe guru's(who may also be aces) would need to read it

its a private message but only their terms eh? dont see the point incalling it private then

IV

I just did a quick scan through the message log in the Guru group. Apart from saying it is very quiet over there these days, I can find no mention of gurus being able to read 'private' conversations.

As to your point about who should be able to, or want to yikes private masseages. Well I have no great problems over the staff being able to do so. I mean the BBC does need to maintain a certain amount of control over what is said and done on sites that the Great British public are paying for.

Others who could yikes a private post, well that would be those invited into the thread - though why they would want to yikes and what it would gain for them is beyond me. One thing I am sure of though, a yikser won't be your common or garden Guru, as they don't have access to snoop in private threads.

Greydesk,

you cant find any mention of it? ok then, perhaps i have got that slightly wrong, perhaps

thanks for answering the question but i dont see why its being called a private msg if it isnt

ive read somewhere that this is a public site and the bbc doesnt necessarily follow the opinions of the people that use it unless they specifically say so, (yeah i know i havent got it word for word but you know what i mean), if somebody expresses an opinion in a private thread that is between 2 people, why would the bbc feel the need to control it? nobodies going to know its there, im not being argumentitive, (i feel the need to make that clear in a lot of my posts nowadays), i just dont see the logic behind that

'Control', maybe that's too strong a word. Though I do think the BBC have the right to see, and if need be, take action over any posting that is made here. It is their website, they are the ones paying for it and politically they carry the can - despite any disclaimers on site - if it all goes tits up. Just think, we could be plotting the violent overthrow of the state, or the seizure of Greg Dyke's collection of garish ties (). I'm sure they would want to know if that were the case.

Why call it 'private' if it isn't? Well it is for all intents and purposes, and I'm not sure that private-ish is a word. My personal take on the whole situation is
1) This site is a benign dictatorship. You can do what you like within some pretty lax limits. But there are limits and you'd do well to remember that they are there.
