Why can’t Rog reply to PMs?
Something isn’t right, what’s going on?

sorry but nothing to do with you this is a private matter between Rog & the team

are you replying as a mod?
I pmd rog to ask for his help, another member told me he couldn’t reply to pm’s and gave me Rogers email address hence the email from him.

how can i reply as a mod as im not a mod

Like Scanny and Conor, he pops up on many different forums with information gleaned from “other sites”

I never had a problem with Rog in general but some of the posts were dragged out simply because he only read what he wanted to see. Remember the tribunal case?

I have had many PM’s some helpful, some asking for help, and the main problem was PM’s telling me to look or respond to a particular post. I read most threads on TruckNet anyway.

I don’t doubt a lot of his information was helpful to newbies, but he was acting as the omnipotent oracle on tribunal and drivers hours threads which if someone got it wrong, it was going to be expensive for the miscreant.

I have answered a few threads on drivers hours, but if anyone needs the definitive answers, listen to Coffeeholic, Tachograph, or Geebee45.

To burnie1 - (1) Sterling never ever had a centre in Leicester & (2)I was an employee of Sterling, not a decision maker who made the decisions who to employ or otherwise. Stick to facts not fiction about things you know nothing about.

To animal and Rob K and Coffeeholic - My post about joining the admin team was clearly made tongue in cheek. To educate you a bit LOL stands for Laugh Out Loud, something I am doing right now !

I’d decided not to get involved in this thread - but it’s beginning to get out of hand. If not slanderous/libellous some posts are still bad-mannered and downright rude. Character assisination is not what this forum is about - so far as I know.

I believe Rog has been a valued contributor and, for the best part, has given a great deal of help to readers. OK, there may have been errors - and Rog has held his hands up to this - but no-one’s perfect. He and I agree to disagree from time to time; it doesn’t make anyone right or wrong all the time.

I would like to see Rog carry on posting. Folk just need to realise that responses would be a lot slower than they have been. I’m happy to help - and have done my best several times - but I’m not as available as Rog. So, come on Rog. Do your stuff, go through the pre-mod bit, and provide the service that is, generally, much appreciated.

And, to everyone else, can we try to behave! :laughing: :laughing:

Agreed. :sunglasses:

I’ve just had an email from Rog, we all get things wrong and need help/advise at times, but to treat a very long standing and helpful member like this, is a disgrace.
I have a real problem with Bullies who throw their weight around and this is exactly what’s going on here. How is this guy going to ‘defend’ himself?

You are innocent until proven guilty, yes■■? By removing certain ‘site’ privileges you have found him guilty. Not happy I’m afraid but seeing how a long standing member is treated you ain’t gonna give a toss what we think. :angry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I agree totally with those quoted posts. Yesterday, I spent the best part of what time I spend looking through the daily input,–about 2 hours in total-- trying to find Rog,s final post;Which I assume would give the reason(s) for his , what is now being referred to as “self imposed exile”, to the Siberian wastelands of TNUK,s personae non grata department.I could not find the relevant post. Maybe some-one could give me a link to the relevant thread. I sent him a pm, asking him what had taken place; But he has not responded, due it seems to his apparent inability to send, or pehaps even recieve pms. That feels a bit “Stalinist” to me. But there you go! It makes me wonder which “Crime against the people” he has committed.

I make no apology for resurrecting this thread. About this time last year, Rog was on the receiving end of another major hoofing, to which I raised objections at the time.-- ( It is a “Locked” thread on page 6 . of my posts. and is dated 26th of July 2009)–.My main complaint that time, was that some of those who were leading members of the "Lets put the Boot into Rog " Cru, were moderators. The same thing has been taking place on this occasion. A couple of weeks prior to that keyboard assault session, he had asked if anyone could help him to get a job. He got little comfort from that request either.
FFS can some of you not see that there may well be under-lying reasons for his apparent inability to re-gain employment?. Those exhortations to “get off his arse and get a job”, may one day come back to bite in the arse ,those who are keenest to make them. One day you may be looking for a bit of sympathy and understanding. It is to be hoped that you then fare better than Rog is at this time.

I believe this is the last post ROG made before he decided not to post any more. A search of all ROG’s posts show that as the most recent.

Ok. Thanks for that link Neil. I had read through about the last 10 pages of Rog,s posts. (No mean feat). without finding any build up to this situation. I could see no reason for him to take exception to the correction you made on his “Digi-Card” post. He certainly did not make any public comment about it. If his exile is self imposed, then it may be for some other reason. I have always, from a young age,tended to fire-up if I feel that some-one is being “Got At”. I have always dived in to support the under-dog. Which is why I did so on this thread. We must now await developments. Thanks for the link. Robbo.

I have since learned that he now posts on TruckersWorld.He,s maybe just gone for a break, away from Gogzy. and the rest of the “Get off yer arse, and Get a Job” Cru. In which case. Who could blame him? :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

I think he only posts on TruckersWorld now :frowning: :frowning: :angry: :-

he broke his internet…hopefully

i know, the cheek of him :stuck_out_tongue:

I did wonder why ROG has seemingly dropped off the tnet radar, as there have been a few topics that would of triggered the red flashing light to go off ontop of his computer screen. Didnt realise anything was “wrong” until i stumbled across this post visa bullys and now it all makes sense…

ROG seemed like a nice bloke, never had any real problems with him apart from when he went into “mind driving mode” on some occasions and sometimes talked like he wasnt in the real work of a truck driver. he seemed to give good info on the newbies forum and would always try and help people on the main forum if it involved the dvla/vosa phones calls etc, o.k yes the topics on the safety and law forum gave neil and geebee45 headaches and endless trips to the counciler as they attempted damage control but can only think rog meant well…especailly when him and delboytwo got into arguments the dellboy&rog show was always a good pop corn munching moment.

have looked at his “last” post and it seemed rather abrupt in ROG terms…i guess we will never know what has really hapened, whether he banished himself to siberian wastelands of tnet, may be he’s gone to keep bigjase company or may be he was roughed up behind the scenes (im joking) only rog and admin know that and it will remain one of life’s mysterys. would be suprised he if banished him self for ever - i mean look at DAF95XF how many times did he walk off into the siberian tnet wildeness to keep bigjase company then attempted to come back in unde the radar hoping no one would remeber he final post…

Rog doesn’t want to cause the mods any extra work. He isn’t in Siberia, but he is on pre-mod and hasn’t thrown his dummy out of the pram.

He is poised with a raised finger over the Enter button to hit these forums once his pre-mod is lifted.

How do I know this? I couldn’t possibly divulge as it would be in breach of Truck-Net rules and an abuse of the PM he sent me :laughing:
