SS7

[Scott Beveridge]

Subsea7 buys some new subs.. Fookin Whoopee 🙄

Did anyone mention the crew of cheap ass n*****s and flipflops they gonna employ to run them ? Low pay and shit sandwiches all round.. No thanks.. I’d rather work with a 15 year old sub and get paid well for my knowledge and ability… SS7… wonder who will be the last white fella out the door ?

Don’t stop there DJan, you are on a good roll!!! Just think, we can go follow them around and collect the missing vehicles!!! Nice dosh there!!!

It will be Brazilian crew of course. I’m sure there will be a "witty" racist remark about these guys too.

The dealers got the contract i hear 😉 should be enough said about who it is

[Ray Shields]

Yes, DJJansen, there are limits, and levels of abuse, and making racist comments will do nothing but bring the website into disrepute.

Racist?
I think not… after all if they are working in Brazil good on them.

[DJansen]

Racist.. I think not…

I don’t think a useless white guy is any better than a useless black fella..
There are just as many former commies from europe working for peanuts as there are ‘non reflective’ types.. It’s more about attitude than skin colour..

Brazillians?… Nout wrong with them… Great barbeque, cheap coffee and the women have well rounded bottoms 🙂

DJ, im no fan of cheap labour but Racism has no place on this site, i have worked with plenty of people from all over the world of different colors and different creeds and evidently by your post you can be a complete cock and be any of them. Good on the Brazilians for looking after there country men and taking care of jobs for locals. I honestly think admin should be involved in this tread as these comments are extremely offensive to myself and others and do ROVers as a whole no favors at all. Im a white Scotsman by the way!!

Peace.

I am an admin and I am involved, plus I have been reading this thread. This site has loose guidelines but, by it’s very nature, it will not ever err towards being politically correct. It’s not a UK council website is it? You know…

‘we are an equal opportunity employer.. we accept people from all minorities religions and those who are physically challenged etc.’

That having been said we do not encourage posts that may offend the majority of our membership. However, minority rule does not apply around here.

I don’t want to get into a full blown racist debate, as this is not what the thread is about but, I feel that, unless a remark is directed at an individual or someone continues to post with a racist/hatred slant the odd comments should be taken tongue in cheek.

If you do not agree with the level to which the site is moderated then I respect your opinion and you may leave if you wish, but I can assure you that things will not change much on that score around here. There is always the option to leave and not force yourself to read such remarks that may offend you.

Remember people.. this website is not some official government site. We are a couple of offshore people running a website because we want to. I will not allow people to put pressure on us as to the way we run our site, and neither what we do, or do not, allow to be said around here.

Round of applause there James. :tup:

The comments on this post show a lot of ignorance. The facts are on the www.

SS7 were the winner on the PetroBras drill support tender. It is a huge contract with high local content. I am sure there will be lots of work for the locals, and quite right too – given the chance, they are as good as the best.

So DonF, what happened to the complete address pse?

🙄 🙄 🙄

[Robert Branch]

Great white Scotsman..You shouldnt insult people on this website by calling them Cocks..Its Dickheads mate..Where the hell did calling people cocks come from.You are the cock Jock…If anyone has a rascist view it is their right to have these views…

[James McLauchlan]

For F’s sake people… What’s wrong with you lot?

For the sake of forum peace and common sense please give up on this who said what, name calling, racist or not stuff. It’s totally irrelevant to the topic.
If you want to get into somebody about something do it off-line or via PM.. but not openly in the forum!!

The thread is about Something somebody heard or read about SS7…

That’s a good point.

What I’ve noticed is there is a lot of garbage that seems to develop out of a normal thread on here. Why? I have no real idea, other than it may be indicative of the types that work offshore. Generally though it only takes a minority of members to screw up a good thing.
