Hi Sparker,
Sorry but we at ODK have a duty of care to follow, thus it's best to stop it before an uncontrollable situation starts.
This is why we have Moderators, because if we didn't all hell would break loose and we don't want that.
What you guys do in your sheds is your business but we can't be seen to encourage / promote any risky practices which would reflect badly upon us.
Just as an example, We've just recently had a situation where a whole company here in South Australia was burnt to the ground and the loss of hundreds of jobs because of a bad welding situation. Just imagine had we given any advise on that issue prior to it happening. No thanks.
You can call it a Nanny State if you like but unfortunately litigation is rife in today's society and using the terminology of "a Nanny State" just doesn't cut it as a defence in a court of law anymore. So we must defend ourselves from it to begin with.
Hopefully this clears this matter up.
Cheers,
BB.
