Default which monkey deleted my turbo post.....



i can see where a rule was possibly broken,....

however,...the turbo wasnt technically for sale,....

and if it was so displeasing to you, why couldnt ou have just moved it, instead of deleting it,....

Paddy deleted it and i just deleted your second one.


If it wasnt a for sale post then why (and i quote) did it say "Reasonable offers" after the sales talk and the picture?

I saw it and did wonder

IMO it was a blatent for sale post and IIRC it says in the rules that it is down to the moderators descression whether he/she moves it OR deletes it!

Also, you have no gold member logo showing, so one would assume you're not a gold member (although you may be, and just not have a logo). Therefore they're not going to move it into the parts for sale are they

I removed it initially.

If the turbo wasn't "technically for sale" why was the title:

Then "reasonable offers" underneath a picture ??

No-ones made a fuss about this other than you, I personally couldn't give a f*ck but there's a lot of paid members that do

That's a very fair point so next time you see it, PM a mod as that's how 90% of things get noticed and sorted

Yeah, but banter is a tad different to genuinely calling someone a c*nt.

sometimes Im not sure on some peoples comments, Im sat here thinking, fook, thats harsh, when its meant in jest.

sometimes comments dont come across very well, if you are just bantering, use smilies so people know that.

If I dont see smilies, I assume its a serious comment.

I'm sure Stu + Petrucci - who have had to change the structure of the site as it's grown to accomodate new laws and regulations [with regards to exactly how much freedom of speech you're allowed on the internet before opening yourself up to any legal actions due to copywright or civil actions] - would LOVE to hear your suggestions in the contributors room

Don't even know why I'm wasting my time but as for not having the interests of the board at heart, all the Mods on here are part of local groups and attend shows throughout the year spreading the gospel according to PF - I even have flyers made up advertising the site if you want to hand some out yourself

You sound like a 15 year old kid that has delusions of coolness because he knew some band before they were on top of the pops.


you started off with some very good points that made me think that there are cetain lines that cant be croosed for the good of the wider audience,....i was even lured into a sense that this was turning into rational, worth while debate.....
then you make a comment like that...

so being a mod means that you have to put other people down to give yourself a higher status ?

i was trying to put accross that when this board first opened, it was the banter and such that made this board great, and now it seems people are banned for comments if they are directed to a mod, but not another member of the board,.....


you mentioned stu and pettrucci, and how they have adjusted to the changing climate of this board. well i for one, feel that they, stu especially, handles differences of opinions on his board in a far better manner than the majority of the mods on here.

banning people "because you can" is not on, and if people spoke up instead of sitting on the side lines, you as a mod would see the how long term members of this site have become displeased with the way it is being run

i agree that in very extreme cases, it is better for the board if someone is banned, but in many other cases, theres no need

Westy has been crossing the line over and over again for the past 6 months, just purely disrespecting the mods and ignoring signature and goldmember rules.

To some of you he may be a laugh, to me hes a royal pain in the arse, always shit stirring with me and trying to get me wounf up and then when i do he goes "I was only joking". hes joked for the last time and will not be coming back. plus ivebeen asking him for a week to remove that ebay link from his signature, so he was dues a ban anyway!

this to me included

a)
anxiety
b)
distressing
c)
general nuisance
where do you draw the line,...
so according to the rules you so strictly stand by , if i was to make an official complaint, would action be taken against paddy,...

if he was another member,......ever so slighlty.....
as hes a mod,.........not a fucking chance,....


mods stick to the rules when they are directly having the piss taken out of them, and when they feel their status has been compromisied

Ofcourse not, mainly because you can tell paddys context was not in any way serious and you would be complaining just to make a point.

On another note i have just your locked your turbo post for a third time

Pay your goldmembership (a whole 20 fucking quid ) and advertise it OR advertise it again and join westy. I am not wasting anymore of my time deleting/locking and editing your posts because you wont pay 20 quid.
