Simon,
Tony simply misunderstood the rules, was badly advised and received a warning and had his post deleted. He has not been a moderator for long and is learning as he goes. He is also spending very considerable amounts of his free time helping the members out by moderating this busy site and receives no payment and very little thanks from the members for doing so, he continues to slog on for the good of the site, as do the rest of the web team. On this occasion I decided a warning was sufficient and handed it to Tony personally by way of Pm.


You on the other hand seem to spend a large proportion of your time on here making anti establishment posts, remarks about site funding and various other non productive postings about me, IB or indeed even Petrucci who hasn't even been here for a long time, thus proving beyond considerable doubt that you have an excellent grasp of the rules and how they work. You also spend a great deal of time campaigning for the user name SECS back, which led us to believe the company still exists and therefore you have received an infraction.

Its not the end of the world, it will expire 24th July 2009 so as long as you haven't done anything against the rules before then, you will never receive a ban. Perfect.

Off topic, and on a more personal note:
I also feel that if you spent as much time actually doing work you had already promised to others and less time on here causing trouble or giving things away for free, I wouldn't have just had to tell a customer his L8 conversion for his I4 was now a no go as i have finally given up waiting and reminding you about the phase output simulator you have been making me for, what, 2+ years now? I wont mention the WS test unit or the uprated tacho output we are still waiting for after the same length of time as its very off topic, but i feel it was worth giving my thoughts as my customer is very annoyed and likely to not use me again for tuning.

It somewhat annoying that the very same day I have to waste time on here talking to you about your behavior on my website as well.

Why have i put that on here? Because you ignore it by PM and E-Mail but seem happy to discuss things in public for some odd reason...

Will leave this open for one reply from Simon.
