I am Obasa, one of the SMT Admins on the FFOC who is deeply involved in the operation and running of the club.
Having taken the opportunity and time to read your remarks and comments, may I say I am quite disappointed.
You will note that I was the first one to post a reply to your post on the ffoc forum, and I asked just a simple question. Solely because normally none of our forum users actually display personal discussions on the open forum, and this is why I mentioned the PM system.
I also noticed that you decided not to even take the time to respond, and of which I found quite strange, and I was highly disappointed, and in all honesty I found that uncalled for and rather rude given the situation.
I except that the ffoc has introduced stringent rules and code of conduct over the years, and if you were a position, such as myself and other FFOC Moderators, I suspect you would appreciate the reasons behind it.
I can also except that ALL car forum operate in different ways, such a yours, and before I registered I took time to bring myself up to speed with your own forum rules, as I believe it would be in my best interests and yours for me to abide by them, as I am sure you would agree.
It would be indecent of me to stroll in and make unnecessary comments about the manner in which the Moderators on Passion Ford operative I am sure you would find that unfair and rather rude of me.
I prefer to calm situations down rather than add more fuel to the fire, but unfortunately I was not available to do so as that thread continued - never mind.
Finally, I sincerely hope that the handling and conversations between you and our FFOC Moderators has not caused any unnecessary animosity and it can be put behind us, and perhaps re-commence communications on a better footing for all.
You are welcome across the ffoc at any time and if you or others encounter any grievances, please do not hesitate to contact me, in private if you wish.
All the best!

and I suppose an attempt at public humiliation on the board by yourself before banning with no warning is part of your "situation calming" I take it? even for a subject that caused no harm to no one, other than your sheer paranoia of losing members.Oh well Obasa, heres my opinion to your "stringent rules" anyway

Thank you for your very mature response - much appreciated 
I take it the only way you are able to get your point across - is to be rude and insulting, of which you will note I have not been at all. - You are certainly humiliating yourself on your own forum 
Oh I do have to laugh and I suppose an attempt at public humiliation on the board by yourself before banning with no warning is part of your "situation calming" I take it? even for a subject that caused no harm to no one, other than your sheer paranoia of losing members.

Having just read this all from start to finish certain people are being over critical of “ffoc.co.uk”. It is a Family forum for one.
I saw the post on FFOC that “GUZZLER” posted and I saw nothing wrong with it, but if you compare the sizes of our two forums, FFOC is somewhat smaller than Passionford. So FFOC admin removed F.O.A posts:
http://www.ffoc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73333
It was only to cut down on the size of the database used.
I Couldn’t agree with you more Ron. We have people as young as 12 viewing our forum and with no offence to anyone on here If I was a parent to a 12 year old I wouldn’t like them to see some of the material on here.
Careful Ruth us Northerners are slightly out numbered.
Mr FordFans……
I remember when you joined FFOC and sent the entire member database a PM advertising a new site. Would have been better to just post a topic in General Chat.
There is no need to slag anyone off especially Olu. Now run along and be nice and mature
What has anyone on there done to you? Sure you aren’t just jumping on the bad wagon…
I for one use both Forums and see no reason why we cant all get on like adults and be friends

Some of the comments here I feel are people jumping on the band wagon, all the posts removed are seen by the admin team (If there are any questions then please feel free to email/pm me
).
So I can see why they were removed etc, Like all forums there are rules, Street racing is one of them but if Andys post was about brunntingthorpe then I would be more than happy to look into it for you .
As the Focus is a "family" car we try to keep it family friendly, so people do think some actions are a little tough, but you can't please everyone.
