jaycos,
im saying stu that the cam thread should have gone before it went out of control it seemed to be ok to stay there as long as a person was gettin shafted
As ive allready stated, the topic was deleted before i got to read it so i cannot accurately comment, but if it was full of arguing, then yes, it should have been moved, but im led to believe it actually WASNT. As well as this, Neil @ carwise could have asked me or any member of my webteam to remove it or relocate it at anytime, he did not. So tell me, what have we done wrong other than allow freedom of speech to a valued member? I would like an answer to that please.

as soon as it was linked to another forum thats different bcause it ruins pf and ur stature
Your joking right?
External links to popular topics gains us more members and bandwidth and thus all the advertisers also gain business. I fail to see how it can affect me or my stature personally in any way whatsoever. PassionFord is a website that allows an unusually high freedom of speech, nothing more nothing less.

but it aint finished so what did it achieve and what is it going to
It seems since this topics appearance that Cam has been contacted directly by Neil with a view to meet and bring an end to all this. Cam is the only one who can comment on wether the topic itself helped him or hindered him. End of story really.

Do me a favour!

The guy posts saying how awful the website is, and you agree with him.

When I question the fact that he doesn't appear to be much of a contributor, he replies that he doesn't really care about posting on here - can you not see the irony?

Further to that, several people have claimed bias on behalf of the mods, I've asked for an example, and am still waiting.

Okay Jay, but then explain this.

Mr Y says that this website's moderaters are ruled by bias, to which you replied:

aint this the truth it didnt matter because it wasnt wreckin there favourite cossie shop and prob found it quite funny in a sick sort of way
Since you were so vocal on the subject, can we see an example of this bias, and moderators laughing at the situation?

If I was a mod, I'd find that quite insulting. Despite their tuner alleigances, nearly all the mods do an excellent job of remaining impartial.

Absolutely right, Stu ...

Although a delicate subject was aired in public .. It provided a space for everyone to have their say. Only threatening and suggestive remarks regarding retalliation would necessitate the thread's removal ... or removal of the offending items.

Whether any party was "getting shafted" or not .. Both of them actively involved themselves from the start. So I can't see a great deal unfair there.
Personally, I would look for a way to draw a line under all this, and ask the parties to keep us informed.

Jay, It's really up to Stu and his Administrators to run things as they see fit.

Regards .....

Al.

The poster Y has multiple user IDs and also posts as Santa's Little Helper, so given the rules, should be banned anyway .

I agree, if thats what it contained then its dummy room material and should have been put there. Had it still existed i WOULD PERSONALLY have put it there. However, the webteam, like myself all have jobs as well, none of them are paid to look after this internet website and do it in whatever free time they have available to them. Believe it or not, we wouldnt all click on a topic called "FAO Carwise" although i believe its name was also later changed?

Anyway.... enough. Lets just agree to disagree if thats what we need to do.

So you only take issue when you get to be a whinging twat, not when you get to put your hand in your pocket and help out everyone on here?

I personally feel that anyone piggybacking FOC on the forum should just be greatful the administration here are kind enough to let the leech off the rest of us in the first place

Chip - no need for that.

Narrinder is a top fella, and a real car enthusiast - I'm sure that wasn't his intention.

Fair enough Rich, ive obviously misread the situation then.
Apologies Narinder if that is the case.

But i do still feel that anyone who cares about the forum should help fund it.

After all if we didnt, it wouldnt be here to whinge about anyway!

Where on earth did I say the site was awful ?, the reason I visted it so much is because its genuinely very good!

As I have seen a lot of on PF you basically think my opinion is not important because I am more of a viewer than a poster.

There is bias on here, I have tried to search for some without success as the serach facility does not seem to go back very far.

You're opinion is certainly considered less important than someone who financially contributes.

So back to this bias that you keep claiming to see - any chance of that example?

I bet if "Itsmeagain" has posted an opinion you would not have replied with that comment, the problem here is my low post count and how important you think you are. Viewers may not seem very important to you but this site I imagine has many and needs them in order to honour its trade advertisers.

As I said the search falicity don't go back that far!

Yeah (well unless its a IP used by someone else too) he must have done, cause otherwise he would have to be a liar.
