Colin James Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hereford Times - Someone Using Same Name As Hereford Voice. They have registered using the names Herefords Voice and also Hereford Voices (Notice the S) I have written to Clive at the HT as someone has registered as Herefords Voice on their website, notice the S on the end of their name. We are: Hereford Voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Lloyd Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I read it and thought that's not Colin then I saw the s. It could cause upset amongst posters. There are some truly very odd people around nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin James Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yes we have an idea who this is already, nevertheless, it may cause some confusion. I have sent an email to all our members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragwert Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Get them removed asap Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin James Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Get them removed asap Colin Well I am not that bothered but it is confusing but we have an idea who it is anyway, quite flattering really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I saw it and think that although technically probably within the rules' it should be removed (or adequately changed) to avoid any possibility of confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Thomas Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Comes to something when someone has to start using names so close to other members, all I can say is you must be getting to them and yes take the flattery lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Lloyd Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 And on the Clehonger PA report in the HT for 90 houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 And on the Clehonger PA report in the HT for 90 houses I think the poster, who seems reasonably intelligent to my untrained eye, is being deliberately controversial. But fair enough! He/she has a point tho about housing. There is a chronic shortage Nationally and so do we try and protect a rare newt or meadow flower/hedge or get people housed? That said I wouldn't want it by me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Lloyd Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 One comment by him/them has now been removed by the Editor at my request. Off topic totally Roger Gladmans are a particularily ruthless development company and 70 plus houses have within the last couple of months already been passed in Clehonger.

Denise Lloyd Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Roger it was not the content of his comment everybody is entitled to their opinion it was the fact the he was using the sign in Herefords Voice. He has also been very busy on another article the one with the cyclist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has also been very busy on another article the one with the cyclist. Yes I have also received an email and Denise is right it is their name not particularly what they are writing. The editor has advised them to change the name, which is really appreciated as it only leads to confusion (which was their obviously intent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippyhippy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 There are a lot of posters with similar names, over at HT. Wyecider and Wyesider are incredibly similar, and there are lots of Mr Hereford/Mr Herefordian Herefordian07 etc. I can't see HT banning a contributor just because they have opted for this name. It is different, if only by a little bit! Most regular readers/posters will have spotted the difference immediately.....I honestly don't think this is a conspiracy!

Seems like half baked amateur hour moderating just to delete a post as opposed to suspending the username until he/she chooses a less confusing one ...

You may end up eating your words dippy, someone is already using a name similar to yours http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/14205583.Two_men_who_continued_to_attack_man_at_Hereford_flat_despite_him_being_unconscious_avoid_prison/?action=success#comment_15219497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippyhippy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Blimey. You may be right there Alex! Perhaps this is a deliberate attempt to confuse folks about posters! I wonder if this is the same person?? If it is, then they would appear to delight in mischief making! What next? Combo, Dennise Lloyd, ?? I guess the possibilities are endless....!

dippyhippy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Or Jesse Normal! Greenknite?? Twowheelgood? We could have a competition! It's either completely harmless... and somebody just doesn't have a very good imagination...(I had given them the benefit of the doubt... Hereford's Voice is a nice name!) Or, it's a wind up! I guess we'll have to keep our eyes peeled, for impersonations of other posting names! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Thomas Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 HT is becoming a joke, that just would not happen here because the admin would not allow it. HT should really have some rules and common sense in place. I do not post over there anymore for this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Smith Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I honestly don't think this is a conspiracy! Changed your view yet? I agree with Bill, it is not what it used to be. No moderators in place almost a free for all. They just delete posts that are reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippyhippy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Err, yes Frank! Hence posts 26 and 28 above! I'm always happy to hold my hands up if I've made an error in judgement! As I said, giving 'whoever' the benefit of the doubt, was perhaps not the wisest decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
