I see a sense of humour has been lost tonight. You're right Deano this forum has become hard work over the last few weeks, and I for one have stopped enjoying it as much as I used to, the main reason being that I/we (moderators) have been having to continually edit and report bad language in the open forums from long standing members. I can assure you I don't do the moderating as some sort of power trip, it's quite simply just to give something back for the work and knowledge I've gained from this forum. This isn't directed solely at you by the way, it's just a general point I'm making.

Getting back to Mr Tiler, i have read his last post about sell by dates on tiles.

Read through his grammar & spelling, he has got very good at typing all of a sudden, i dont know if we are getting taken for a ride or he is a genuine guy, he has enthusiasm, i will give him that.

Whats getting to me is his replies to some posts on here giving out advice & i think thats whats bugging a lot of the members.

I wouldnt go on the "Airplane Forum" & tell a pilot how to land a Jumbo. :sofahide:

I agree , if you are here to learn from scratch , which is what this guy is , then stop giving advice about what he has no clue about... or do we spend time trawling his posts and constantly correcting him... Me i have better things to do :lol:


Bri.... You and Neale are good mods , just a shame such a full team does not help out more.. i know more than any that it is a tedious task to trawl every thread/post and edit out foul language...

I have added to some risky words to see if a mod picks up and 99% zilch removed... there is more to modding than posting to internet pals.. :)..

Anyway back to Mr Tiler :)..

I'll go off topic for one last post. Dave you probably don't realise this but, I actually find it quite awkward and almost disrespectful to you , editing your posts, given your history on the the forum and the fact that you have played a massive part in its success. Also the support you have given me since I became a mod, editing your posts is like giving my Dad a bollocking that's why I don't do it and if I do see any that need editing I have asked that you do it yourself.

Dave, maybe your long standing input, and 60,000 + post, and the fact your ex admin, (and we know what your like...lol) might mean the mods turn the odd blind eye to some of your post..? don't worry though, i'll do a bit of effing and jeffing, see what happens..:thumbsup:........JOKE BRI, CALM DOWN!!

Firstly the full team all do their part. It is a fact though that sometimes words get missed and also the mods and myself dont read every post.
Getting back to Ash aka Mr Tiler. 1 he is very real. 2, its not a wind up, 3 I have stated somewhere before that he may have some kind of learning disability.
I have also told him that his Mr Tiler name isnt the best for him but he wanted to keep it.
If he changed his name to Ash Tiling etc would this make a difference to the posts he makes ???? No not one bit and it would actually make it look like he was a professional.
There are people in life who you try to help and steer on course by advising, which is what i tried to do, there are also people like Ash who want that help but will still blunder off and try to take short cuts...ie the B&Q cutter and the rest of his tools which are only fit for a job or 2.
He is not a wind up and he genuinely wants to tile. That said I doubt very much he will ever make it further than doing the odd splashback.

Never looked at it that way.... i shall be an upstanding member ... i promise :)..ish... :lol:


And just to say i wasn't i n any way having a dig at any member of staff... just when a forum starts to lose activity from a mod , it creates more for the others... if they cannot give the time anymore then it would be sense to allow someone who can to keep it running smooooooooth... but hey not for me to be involved in anymore... now back to the sunshine.. :)
