As far as I can see, this is not possible.

Thank you and understood.

 

A new question: If he writes that I made statements in regard to important policies of the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs (The DVA) which I in fact didn't make (I have had serious very detailed dealings with the DVA in regard to my personal war disabilities) can I ask for him to be reprimanded in some way?

Why should any of us have the power to punish other members with specific penalties?  Imaging the chaos, especially from some irrational members demanding "retribution" for perceived transgressions!

 

Of course, you could apply for Moderator status if you wish to throw punishments around for those with whom you disagree.  I have to emphasise that I am not, of course, suggesting that any current Mods would do that.

I've just been alerted to the fact he's reading my posts and replying (I don't see that because I put him on ignore). Other members tell me he's responding to my posts with inappropriate comments. Again I don't see his comments because i put him on ignore.

 

Further,  2 or 3 weeks ago he wrote a 6 or 7 line summary about me, with numerous errors, and with mistakes about Australian Centrelink and the Australian Dept. Of Veterans Affairs benefits policies.

Let me please make a further comment. My initial enquiry (of the mods) was not meaning that I WANT THE PERSONAL POWER TO BLOCK MEMBERS. That was not my request, not at all. It would absolutely not be appropriate. 

 

I repeat my initial post, as follows:  "A new question: If he writes that I made statements in regard to important policies of the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs (The DVA) which I in fact didn't make (I have had serious very detailed dealings with the DVA in regard to my personal war disabilities) can I ask for him to be reprimanded in some way?

 

As above my concern is members submitting posts which contain comments which are completely incorrect re the policies of the Australian DVA. (In fact the poster submitted a comment / statement which is the reverse of the actual policies of the DVA, which are easily accessible on the DVA website). 

 

My real / ultimate  concern is that a war veteran may read the posters comment and assume he / she has no entitlement to receiving a permanent compensation transferred abroad every 4 weeks for a disability suffered in a war zone, when in fact that war veterans (if the DVA accept the disability as being caused in a war zone) is payable as a permanent disability compensation payment by a 4 weekly international banks transfer to any country in the world. 

 

This could mean the incorrect information posted by the errant member means that a war veteran is not receiving an entitled disability compensation payment for life. Surely this is very unfair and very unethical, and it's a serious matter.

 

I know that if the DVA accept the disability as being caused in a war zone) is payable by a 4 weekly international banks transfer to any country in the world because I have been receiving an Australian war veterans disability compensation payment every 4 weeks into my K Bank Thailand savings account for many years. 

 

My message to the mods is really asking whether in a situation as above Asean Now has any policy to sanction the errant poster involved?

Maybe you could unblock this poster, temporarily, and start reporting his misleading posts, or ask other members to report those posts.

I guess the mods will dish out some posting holidays.

Point taken. However I believe most posters here know the name of the errant poster and my posting more won't change that scenario.

 

On the other hand I'm disappointed that the mods won't take some action; to perhaps get a little more info (and I don't expect them to do a serious professional investigation).

 

It's not just my opinion, his comment is false / dangerous information and his comment can be proven to be false / dangerous by checking the DVA website).

 

Seems to me that posters should not be allowed to post false / damaging comment and reported errant poster should be informed that further similar complaints / reports could mean the errant poster blocked from Asean Now for a week or similar.

 

I do fully recognize / respect that it's not appropriate for me to tell Asean Now / the mods how to run the website.

 

I'll not be posting again on this matter.

You are hell-bent on seeking punishment of another member and do not seem care about giving the correct information to the readers of the topic in which that other member has posted wrong information.

 

There is nothing to stop you from posting the correct information in that topic with a link to the source, without referring to or quoting from the post ot the member you are ignoring, ie as if you had not seen that post. This is called replying to the topic, not to the poster. If you go this route, you will earn the appreciation and respect of the readers and they will be able to judge by themselves what to think of the member who posted the wrong information.

 

Replying to the topic, not to the poster is generally a good habit; I do it all the time in situations where wrong or misleading information has been posted. Try it, and you will see how well it works.

Quote from above:

 

"...You are hell-bent on seeking punishment of another member and do not seem care about giving the correct information to the readers of the topic in which that other member has posted wrong information...."

 

I have already done that.

 

As said no further posts from me.

Anyone who takes on board pension advice from a forum nutter deserves what they get.

“especially from some irrational members demanding "retribution" for perceived transgressions!“


Already happened to me.  Some real losers out there.

Mods do not, and cannot, read every post. We rely on members pressing the report button when forum rules are breached.
