You disappear he appears, you then reappear answering on his behalf obviously from a notification @admin can you check this please, if folk are having multiple logins it makes a total mockery of this I could check registered email addresses and IP addresses if I had the inclination to do so. I don't. To be clear I find the desire to provide an actual name to an internet pseudonym quite unsettling and I'm aware that you know who I am. Personally I'd prefer if we all posted under our actual names but that's not the nature of the beast on these kind of things. I'm as 'guilty' as others in that respect. I'd much prefer that people didn't have multiple logins, if indeed they do, but provided they stay within acceptable limits then as strange as having multiple user names is then I'm relatively relaxed about it. Each to their own. What I have a degree of difficulty about is people trying to 'out' posters. To be absolutely clear if we are happy for people to post under pseudonyms, and we clearly are, then I will protect anyone's desire for anonymity provided they follow the fairly relaxed rules of the forum. Regardless of what any given poster's position is on any given subject I refuse to indulge any conspiracy theory. Your request has been useful as it has provided me with a opportunity to draw attention to something. Any attempt to try and provide a name to an otherwise anonymous account will be viewed less than favourably. I'd urge posters to post under one user name and one user name only but I will not get embroiled in dealing with accusations of people posting under multiple user names. I have zero knowledge of anyone actually doing so and I'd rather not have to spend time investigating that further. It's that kind of thing that makes me more and more inclined to delete this forum altogether. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having them separate allows checks and balance and ensures true fan representaion and holds both to accountability The only difficulty I see with this is that the club will then be owned by two fans' organisations. Fans will be able to join one or both organisations and therefore the checks and balances could be negated. Perhaps if the two organisations had different roles. one fundraising and the other management it could work.

Companies act gives minority shareholders protections rather than relying on the drafting from scratch of a new fans organisations constitution. to use the protections that are already there in companies act seems sensible to me as a check and balance.

allyo 1,593 Report post Posted Sunday at 09:44 AM Admin... I'm fully in agreement with your post. I don't like the calling people out, or personal accusations which are generally speculative. But the whole pseudonym thing seems a bit outdated and silly. I don't suppose we are able to change our user names but is there a facility where we could voluntarily add our names to our details? If so I'd be happy to do so. If this site is being used as a medium for fan ownership discussions (which I don't think is a great thing but is probably inevitable) then transparency is going to become increasingly important. By the way my name is Alan Oliver. And I'm not related to Jim, though I met him in a fish and chip shop once and he seemed very nice. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
