ok. [picks up the soapbox]
what the hell is going on in some other parts of this forum?
i thought that the specific models of cars found further up the page example DISCOVERY forum headings was for technical advice. for example if someone cant start their disco, or how to change a cambelt... techy more precise questions where those with the knowledge from previous experiences can give their veiws on the matter.
not: "how to make my truck sound louder"
or: "how much KKK have you spent on your motor"
or: "how many lights is it right to have"
or: "massive tyres the next big thing"
[Edited], these questions are for the bar or not at all. personally i think some of those are NOT AT ALL questions... but hey, if the particular person wants to post them so be it... but not in the technical advice sections.
now i know what i am going to do and probably some others are already doing is not posting into these threads, but they shouldnt be there in the first place???? :evil:

we are monitoring the situation closely,  the best way of dealing with inappropriate material is to bring it (and the reasons for it's inappropriateness) to the attention of the moderation team using the report post button, from there on we'll do what we can to address the situation accordingly.

Rob, whilst I'm sure everyone shares your frustration dont put yourself in the firing line to make a point. The admin team isnt daft, well not in that respect anyhow.

Aha! At least he didn't mention the Moderators!

Wha?  :?

Being serious for a mo, we can handle people pointing stuff out. What kinda sucks is when people take moderating and such into their own hands. We've had too many threads degenerate into petty slanging matches just because people don't like a topic. We'd be really appreciative if that was to stop.

Cheers

I have to say it might be better looking at the cause rather than dealing with the symptoms. I know you guys are keeping an eye on it but the guy is setting himself up for it and a look at his gallery has him passing off another members motor as his own. You have a large number of members here fed up with this guys behaviour and now they are getting vocal. How is he getting away with this when someone who acidentally lets slip a naughty word gets pilloried.

Leffe - Blonde I hope, as the black isn't too nice  :lol:

I agree with what every has voiced above and I have been chatting with a modorator via PM'ing on the subject as i'm sure most others have been as well.

The situation is being looked at guys by the mods, so we've just got to tread carefully with what what we say. As Evilgoat said 'don't put yourself in the firing line'

I'd hate to see a fall out from this guy with good quality members who post constructive critisms and actually know what they're talking about leaving, as its you guys that make this place the way it is. This is our club and we shouldn't let anyone drive us out. It looks like Xtremeteam has felt like that judging by his post above, can anyone have a chat with him and entice him back  :?:

Shall we all, for the time being just agree not to post any comments on this individuals threads in the hope he might get the message ?

Ok guys...

The situation is being watched and posts like this is not doing anyone any favours.

If you have a problem please don't rant about it, PM a moderator or use the report post function to the right of all posts.

I'd like to ask you all to end it here please, If you don't like a certain topic / thread / user, the simple answer is to stop reading and replying to them.

Thank you
