Re: The Drowning Place - Beckenham Place Park

At the lake this morning: new fixed bouys (my guess is they are weighted) and safety signage. It would be reasonable to say these measures should have been in place before the lake opened. I absolutely agree parents must be responsible for their children's safety but you have to work with human natu...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

There's a lot of 'noise' on this thread - facts and theories jostling for attention. If you strip all that out, what are we left with? This: CB says he reported Nicola to the police for harassment. Nicola goes to the police several times to identify herself and be associated with that report. Each t...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

In my view, JGD's screed about narcissism adds nothing to this discussion. Indeed, I don't think one should speculate about named individuals' possible psychopathology on this sort of forum. I thought society was supposed to be having an honest conversation about mental health so that we can destig...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

To go back to sockpuppeting briefly - I've noticed a non-mod on the other forum making reference to editing titles of threads. Assuming that this isn't a standard ability, would I be right in thinking that's a CB sockpuppet? Edit: I idly googled the user name and found a matching Twitter profile th...

Re: The Drowning Place - Beckenham Place Park

Just returned from the park. It was so busy we had to queue for the car park for ten minutes. There were no special events on. Just people using the park.

Re: The Drowning Place - Beckenham Place Park

I was also in the park yesterday. I’d say there were more people than usual who were not dog walkers - dog walkers bring the vast majority of users up until now. Was it busy? No? Was it pissing with rain? Yes.

Re: advice about wasp nest

Yes, get expert advice. If they are wasps, they can be removed (which would be safest). If they are ground bees, they need to be protected.

Which site does he want you to remove data and clear out troublemakers from? I remember you passing on this site to the new admin several years ago.

Re: The Drowning Place - Beckenham Place Park

I also feel somewhat sorry for TPT Coaching, who were contracted to run the swimming and water sports. They are a very small local company and seemed overwhelmed by the task of running the bookings - their website was a homemade GoDaddy site that was a real shambles. And now it appears to be broken ...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

Please, Dick, if you can, persuade Chris to release the CRN to Nicola. There is nothing confidential about it. She has already presented herself to the police to try to clear this up. If she has the CRN it will really speed things up.

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

I wouldn't ascribe to malice, just yet, that which bureaucratic delay or inefficiency might explain Fair and not unreasoned comment. But here is something we can't work round. Several SE23.life mods have asserted that a CRN (their very consistent description)exists for the alleged presence of a rep...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

Nicola would be able to find a police record of the complaint against her name. But she couldn’t.

I assume it is computer generated...

Re: The Drowning Place - Beckenham Place Park

Just back from the park. It’s not closed yet, although the main entrance in was closed and areas fenced off to set up for a concert / festival. There were people swimming within the splash zone, I didn’t see anyone in the deeper water but there would have been nothing to stop them. It will be really...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

Does anyone know the legalities of misuse of data if any of this is proven to be true? I see that Chris owns Brighter Code Ltd and the user agreements for the forums are with this company. If there has been a misuse of personal data would the company or the individual be deemed responsible? I don’t...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

Agreed with all of that Stuart. There is another possibility and I should stress I have no knowledge of this. What if there is a police investigation but the target isn’t Nicola? The closure notice on the relevant post on SE26 Life states specifically that it is the email that is being investigated...

Is there updated information on the wetlands? It was always scheduled to happen after the lake was complete.

Re: The Drowning Place - Beckenham Place Park

It seems to me the problem is this is a new body of water in a public park and people are assuming it has designed to be completely safe for children and that they don’t need to take the same amount of care that they would in bodies of water not purpose designed for swimming. Personally I think the ...

Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

I’ve been saying for some time that I don’t think SE23 Life is saveable because the mod team have not, much to my disappointment, stepped up to do their job. That job is not to protect the owner. Nor is it even to protect the forum. It is to protect the members. Meanwhile, in Sheffield, THIS is how ...
