I went to reply to a thread about this only to find Satfreak had closed it , Phil reopened it and Satfreak closed it again.<br /><br />Originally there was complaints over Phil closing posts. Phil then stated he would not be closing any more posts unless they were abuse.<br /><br />Satfreak now claims he has a mandate to close whatever he wants to. The fact that he is a company representative and has stated that he will close/edit/delete anything he wants is in my opinion ridiculous.<br /><br />I personally think NO company rep should have Moderation power. Why do you need Moderation power to post company information ?<br /><br />Its simple , you dont and it is a major conflict of interest. It can also be used a s a powerfull propaganda tool.
Looks like I am not the only one that feels this is wrong.<br /><br />I would have no problem with Satfreak or any rep from UBI having " TV+ Rep/UBI Rep " etc under their username or similar , it would be good if the company reps would stop hiding under aliases and declare who they are for the benefit of everyone.<br /><br />That way , any official company statement can be made by the reps and we wont have half the bullshit rumours that appear on here.<br /><br />Edit : spelling<br /> <br /> <small>[ 20.

I bet Satfreak would never agree to that.<br />For me no company should allow to moderate any forum. Like I said I wont remove him its D Cottles problem.
Plenty of members havent voted , it would be appreciated if you could.
Yes I voted, you don't have to be a politician to work out which way I voted.
Mine was the fourth vote with 100% on it!
The question should be expanded, it's not just company reps with conflicts of interests, what about if your relative is a company rep, or your close friend, or you're trying to get a job there, or simply you're a fan of a company?
Well I live in Brisbane. and I don't have relatives in UBI And If I walked in there office they would probably think I'm a terrorist, the only fans I have <br />are attached to a power point.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 20. January 2005, 11:16 AM: Message edited by: Phil Debono ]</small>
Nick, Are you serious? You might have lost your mind! Its simply being suspicious for everyone like the Communism re-born here. You may probably have connection with FBI, CIA, KGB, MOSSAD etc...
I am from ASIO ( Australians against Stupid Idiot Organisations ).<br /><br />I think the question speaks for itself Nick , how far can you possibly take it ? Genetic blood testing for possible third times removed UBI relatives ? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />
Hey we're all related genetically according to the scientists.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />
Gee guys, I love these polls. I might have to get all the girls at UNI to join Aus-city just to vote. Now, which way should I vote? hmmmmm, I think Boring has a very good point.

All I'm saying is that we shouldn't discriminate against any company rep because there're others in this forum who're equaly biased and who don't fit the rep profile. For ex-Yugoslavs imagine having a Partizan fan being a moderator in a Crvena Zvezda forum? Wouldn't work well would it, the blood would flow.
No claret allowed on this forum, thats why problems like this should be removed
Well its obvious what members think , I think the forum owner should look at this.

Maybe Satfreak can have a Information Thread read only for people who may be interested about TV+.
