    Pedantry

    the character, qualities, practices, etc., of a pedant, especially undue display of learning.

    Can't argue with the learning, thanks.

    Just trying to find out a few facts here and there, be interested to see the answer. Sorry to upset you all, by trying to inject a troublesome question into the general gloating.
    Carry on as you were.

    What a useless points system that is. It doesn't tell you how many you need to get a set of tumblers.


    Yep but it also wipes the slate clean every 12 months, which renders the whole system about as scary to any PPC as a fake PCN is to any parking board MSE regular.

    The BPA are just paying lip-service to a sanction points system, rapping the PPCs on the knuckles then forgetting it 12 months later.

    Also, bear in mind that CPS are still listed as AOS members even though they have just got an instant temporary ban by the DVLA. Misleading for any victim trying to find out a bit more about their fake PCN if they see that CPS are AOS members.

    Even more astonishing - and surely a huge can of worms for the BPA - is the fact that Mike Perkins is newly-elected onto the AOS Board. How can they ignore that situation? Who is going to tip off the National Press, Watchdog, Private Eye...?! And if MPs are told about this just when the Freedoms Act is coming in - it's another nail in the coffin surely. I predict the whole thing will be blown apart within a year.

    Ironic though, that the 'cleverly-worded legal signage' that Perky used to come on here and crow about has been his downfall here.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I have to ask, do you set out to destroy every thread ? Have you actually given any useful advice on here ever ? I ask as your posts always seem so argumentative.

    You don't have a concern about a poster having access to the ip addresses of other posters on here?
    I've emailed the team to ask them if it's true, and if it is, why they're releasing data.
    Otherwise, it's hopefully as real as the number of cases the PPC's see in court.

    Good grief - you've already had the explanation that he didn't have the actual IP address just confirmation that a number of posting accounts shared the same address. I really do wonder why you use this forum.

    EDIT - and no I have no concern about people knowing IP addresses. They are easily available and traceable and not actually owned by the user.

    Let me clarify this for Mikey

    When the fake court claim papers were posted up by the user "flash7flash7" i became sus when they wouldnt give more details or post on pepipoo

    So i said to the forum team, "i believe this user to be fake/troll/perky. If this is the case please delete this posting after checking his IP address with previously deleted fake/troll/perky accounts.

    This is exactly what they did.

    I then had a discussion with the forum manager about the banning of such trolls.
