Secret experiments forum?

[Tony]

i hate the words "risk assessment" makes me queasy!

Thats 2 votes for Bob then,he doesnt have to agree,we just say see/sue

So we're gonna call Bob "Risk Assessment Sue" then?

[1958steveflying]

There's quite a differing of opinion on this,
but the general surgestion is it should be kept from public vue until testing has proven it to work.

Now I think we also need to risk acess all methods before going public,
think of it this way if we advocate something that could quite easily blowup in someones face if they got it slightly wrong,
causing blindness and major burns, who could be held responcable, the forum owner ?

Ps. my spell check isn't working for some reason.

I don't think there is any risk of anyone getting sued as a result of forum post's.

i have been asked to try some secret ways to get rid of hmpe's, i haven't tried as yet, but I've not hit 50 posts on this forum, only the veg one,so a bit unfair i think, maybe only post the secret if u know it relatively safe.

Risk Assessment Sue doesn't have the same ring to it as resusianny.

I've been trying to make my mind up on this one. I can see the benefits of both arguments but overall I think that private discussions between a couple of people, then going public on here is the way forward.
This worked very well for the titrated acid wash where Paul shared his ideas with a couple of those that he trusted, then when the results were in, we went public here and on the wiki.

At this time, Biopowered seems to be the enthusiasts corner compared to VOD anyway. Maybe in the future that may change and people will get flamed here too for a new idea but at the moment it works well and I think we should leave it that way.

I tend to agree but the moment someone gets flamed is the time for a secret forum,i would hate for it to end up like that.
I think all the existing members need to jump on anyone who dismisses a new idea out of hand as its the lifeblood of this forum

I really think that this place is great for new ideas and should be kept like it is.
If it does end up with new ideas being flamed then it will just drive any new stuff underground and the forum will just turn into a general chat forum

Completely agree.

With all this openness, I'm going to have to post up some pictures of my 6 core stainless steel condenser and my current work in progress, the "Uber-Ejector".

Please do.
Have they been tested ?

Maybe if we had a "new developments" section with a disclaimer at the top warning encouraging or constructive criticism are welcome but flaming posts will not be tolerated and will be removed.

Plus the usual try this at your own risk ect ect.

My worry is that the H&S police put so many warnings everywhere no one takes any notice nowdays.

....but we are forced to take notice Mark. It seems a shame really that legislation for the stupid and the careless should be forced upon those who can risk assess themselves. We are then channeled into taking part in activities that we would ordinarily think beneath ourselves. I see it all the time at Triumph. Dumbasses at the top legislating for dumbasses at the bottom for the sole purpose of not being sued...not for an improvement in H & S.
