Default why is this place so strict all of a sudden...?

Can't help but notice all the bans being handed out left right and centre...

I posted a pic of a BMW with a knob on it and recieved 5 infraction points because ONE person complained, which led to another ban (likely to be BM08 as it was aimed at him as he never shuts the f*ck up about his poverty spec BMW and how Ford are wank in comparison..!!)

Personally, a bit of banter now and again does not harm IMO but it would appear as this site is so money orientated these days, the rules have got stricter..!

Shame, ruining a good thing if you ask me..!

FPMSL... If you mention a re-post you are now liable to points which ultimately leads to a ban..!!!

Bit much isn't it..

If you have seen it before, move on, other have not and likely never will if people keep complaining and trying to make people feel bad for posting.

The picture was a topic entitled for FAO BM08 (A member on here)

You then proceeded to hurl abuse at him and it was binned, and you given 5 points. The fact is, 5 points is nothing but a warning for most members as it takes ten to get banned, but guess what, you already had 5, and i suppose thats our fault too eh?

Grow up.

I guess its one rule for some and another for others... No consistancy!

SteveH - you are the super duper mod, so go and look at the banned list or recently banned and compare it to 3 years ago... No doubt I will be correct as usual

I cant compare it to 3 years ago unfortunately. Though do you expect zero progress on this site in 3 years?

Westy, you got a short ban, you're back now so learn from from your mistakes instead of heading in the right direction of getting a permanent ban.

Just enjoy the forum, the rules are there to keep the place running as smoothly as possible for everyone including yourself.

Oh and as for the "super duper mod" you will notice we all have it under our names, and it means we can moderate any part of the site, not just the rooms we have names under.
