I understand there has to be certain rules put in place, but i personally dont understand why someone would complain about whats been typed on the internet or what theyve been called. What does it matter really?
I dont give a crap what anyone says about me or what anyone thinks of me to be honest, whether its face to face or on an internet forum. Who gives a shit!
I dont give a crap what anyone says about me or what anyone thinks of me to be honest, whether its face to face or on an internet forum. Who gives a shit! Just kidding

LOL @ this whole thread and PMSL @ Jays new name...WTF ?????
I suppose I am one of the sites biggest whingers but only because rules are not aplied evenly and fairly among all users and I always seem to be on the biased end of them.
Plenty of examples of it around and not just ones including me.
I like to help people with technical stuff and hate all the politics and arguing too but I wont be bullied by anyone. Admin or not.
I know the moderators have a shit job to do with not much thanks but there is a lack of consistency and nearly all the rules relate to keeping the minority number of members that are traders happy. (compared to the number of normal members)
"A reference site for Ford enthusiasts".... Really ?
All my opinion and yes I realise I am whinging again...LOL

I'm still here, but I'm personally fed up with people whinging and trying to bring down the site (yes that includes you Westy). This place is what you make it, and a minority make it shit 
.
FYI Spadge decided the same thing and moved into BMWs to get away from the whingers.
As to moaning about the infractions being given out, this is down to YOU lot. We're not omnipotent, so the MAJORITY (95%) of the infractions are dished out due to the reporting system that alerts us to problems. Before this was in place, there were lots of posts / comments that slipped through the net, but because of the new system NOTHING gets through, and the only difference being, the mods now chose whether action is or isn't required from YOUR alerts.
Basically you're the police, the mods are the jury and Stu is the judge. If you think things are too strict, stop acting like cunts and giving people cause to report you. Treat people as you would want to be treated and the forum will be a much nicer place.

This place was getting far to stupid, argumentative and immature. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter, but in my opinion all the people who were banned or have had a slap on the wrists and moved on are not missed at all.
It got to the point where no matter what you posted some one would want to become a keyboard warrior with you. Which in my opinion is where a lot of the members decided to leave, not because of the now stricter rules.
Also to all the wingers.....dont forget there is a life out side of passion ford!!!

Most people have got fucked off with all the winging and whining , decent threads being turned to shit by the usual retarded fuckwit internet gangsters .
As far as the "its only the internet " comment goes yeah i agree when its in the muppet room as thats the kind of shit you expect in there (and eveyone likes a bit of banter sometimes) but when its an interesting thread and a few of the usual suspects jump on and start calling everyone cunts etc etc it lets the whole site down imho.
you wouldnt come into my local and call someone a cunt because you wouldnt walk out! so why do it on the internet ?

There is a world of difference between you and almost anyone else (there are a few more like you, so don't feel picked on
), it's nothing more sinister than the fact that you (and the few others) always like to push the envelope in making the rules work for you as best you can, so you're always hovering dangerously close to the edge (where you seem to like to live ). Obviously this means that the Mods have a heightened awareness of YOU, so when you do step over that edge, it's picked up upon instantly. As an example, once this title appeared, bets were placed by the mods as to how long it would be for you to add your views (yes, you're THAT predictable ).Compare yourself with someone who sticks WELL below the radar, and then makes an HONEST mistake, it can get missed if no-one sees it soon enough. So where you feel picked upon, it's only because the way you conduct yourself, which brings attention from the powers that be.
Perhaps you should just put your head down, and stop trying to find the limit's of the site's tolerance?

Yes i reported someone for calling another user a cunt for no reason and reported Mike R for being gay. And the person i reported hasnt got an infraction, hence my comment of fucking infractions and there utter uselessness. I couldnt actually care less who gets called what name, i just wanted to see what gets done about it. Mike R is a cunt. Lets see what happens

). Once reported, the mods have to believe it warrants an infraction or a warning. If the majority feel it's a bit 
, then no action is taken. If the complaint is believed to be justified, then the relevant action is taken. Given that I know I am a cunt, I can hardly report you for your honest and well founded opinion
, and I doubt anyone else will bother either, so you've got away scott free like the bloke you reported .

Mike,
Perhaps I need to become a moderator to have radar shielding...LOL
I reported the same person and nothing has been done. !
It wasnt banter and the users concerned have never interacted before !
(it was me he called a cunt...!..lol)

Mike,
My perceived cunt status is irrelivant..LOL
It was an unproked insult that was reported and no action taken.
The banterous "fag" comment was jumped on yet a serious insult ignored....????
Doesnt matter who the users are and what others think....rules are rules....lol

Certainly wasnt me who reproted you Westy. You can call whoever you want a jumped up little cunt as far as im concerened.
And Mike - it was for said person attempting to ruin the thread with his use of language as i clearly stated you mong. And i notice you didnt agree about my gay comment towards you , but i am sure you are in agreement

No-one, you're under the same kind of scrutiny as Simon, as your posts are ALWAYS intended in drawing attention to yourself regarding the "unfairness of the system" etc . By doing this, you put yourself in the firing line, as every mod knows to check out what you say, as you're usually spouting shit about how bad PF / Mods are . In fact, this seems to be the ONLY thing you post about 
.

So some are under scrutiny, some arent, some people are allowed to use absuvie language, some people are allowed to post that things can be obtained for free for 10+ pages and then the post gets locked, and to top it all off we have a blonde haired chesney hawkes look-a-like as a super mod. Brilliant
