Hardly a Tory attribute either. Like how 50,000 more nurses doesn’t mean the number of nurses at the beginning plus 50,000. Or counting up to 40 ‘new’ hospitals.

Yeh, Conservative supporters have had their day with that tired old trope. And even if no one else can do maths, I’ll take that over shameless liars with no respect for the system.
By the way, topic blending a tad, but did anyone watch “Partygate”. I nearly exploded…

There is a difference between ‘monitoring’ and ‘reading’ …sometimes

Yeah. There’s no perm staff member who’s ToRs state they need to monitor this website. But there are many senior volunteers and perm staff that do actively keep half an eye on what is going on here. One could argue that is monitoring… (And I have written proof of that too)

It’s definitely not accurate.

Send it to the ICO, linking to the FOI!!! 
I suppose the difference is whether they monitor it in a personal capacity and use that monitoring to inform their “professional” direction, or whether the monitoring is directed for them to undertake.
The first would be out of scope of the FOI, the latter would be within scope.

That’s from a perm member of staff. I’m not saying who, though it’s probably fairly obvious! They even used the word monitor
Isn’t this all very off topic…
Yeah, but to be fair, the point of this topic died a long time ago.

Is it me or is 100-1 a pretty good whinge to gem of an idea ratio?

Doesn’t sound like a bad ratio to me either. Afterall if the idea occurs here it’s pretty easy to gauge average response to it too. Not surprised at all some staff use it as a bit of recon/idea generator.

“Under Section 16 (Advice and Assistance), it may be useful for you to know that Air Cadet Central
is a privately funded website, the Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC) do not monitor Cadet Force
Adult Volunteer activity on this website or any other private social media sites.”
So senior RAF staff again being disingenuous. This year you have had Wigston, Byford, Jennings and two 3* all called out publicly for honesty and integrity. Not a good look!!!

it all depends how the measure of a whinge is calculated.
at the time of writing ACPS -cancelled-another-kick-in-the-teeth thread has 429 comments.
this could be 400 (repeated) whinges to the situation and 4 good ideas which are offered - this i believe is likely a fair and accurate ratio - as many of us have added our whining comments thus adding to the 400 tally, with some suggestions of ways to do it better amongst it all.
if however a single thread is considered one whinge and it therefore requires 99 other whining threads (note threads not posts) to be “pointless” i think that is unfair.

You can have a ratio of 1:1 …but if the good idea is not implemented / investigated further then it means nothing!

Semantics, not being disingenuous.
(Assuming an honest statement in the FOI) HQAC do not have a formal monitoring programme for the purpose of applying discipline or censorship, or indeed taking action against individuals, or something else with direct operational motives.
It would be naive to think that individuals aren’t free to look at whatever website they wish to and if that garners ideas or insight which influences actions…
And if, while doing so, you find something problematic then it would be remiss not to act - freedom of speech, not freedom from consequence. Perhaps someone shares something protectively marked or is otherwise secret information (weapon locations, tidbits of info not public that was heard in an area where people hold a certain clearance, etc), perhaps someone makes an accusation or disclosure, maybe something potentially illegal happens…
We’re all obligated to respond to certain situations a certain way, but for others the duty-bind and the consequences are greater.
It’s a politicking type distinction, but I’m happy with that compared to the idea of an HQAC Wg Cdr Volkskammer.
Sharing weapon locations you say? You mean like a certain RC uploading photos of various armouries across a Wing, showing what’s stored in there and how? Yeah, that would never happen…

It’s as if my examples were deliberate.
Anyway, until there’s more news or opinions on CV, we’re way off track.
Time to get back on topic.
