DaveK Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I searched this morning to see why - and it seems fair enough to me. We were asked to cut down swearing, so telling a mod to F* off seems to be asking for it. And he was asking too much for his car anyway. It's a fact of life that mods you make to a car rarely (if ever) increase the resale value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 After reading the thread it seems he had every right to get annoyed... unless there was something more inflammatory in his first post originally? No, there wasn't anything bannable (new word?) in his original post but his reaction to Mawby was a fair justification for getting banned! I know his thread was hijacked with chit chat and people questioning the value but surely just telling people to mind their own business would have been sufficient! H.

No I'm sorry, but mawby's post correcting the use of your/you're was condoning Ric calling him a cock. I'd have had strong words for him too.

I'd have had strong words for him too. I actually think Mawby was trying to do it in a humerous way and we all know the real meaning behind the message, rather then a 'telling off' as he was getting enough flak. And anyone who read it and laughed knew what it meant otherwise it wouldnt of been funny to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I feel abit sorry for him. If that was me i would of felt cornered. I guess it went abit over the top but the guy was just fighting his corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it went abit over the top but the guy was just fighting his corner. Point taken Daz, but there is a way of fighting your corner with out telling people to f**k off!! I have always argued in a firm and aggressive manor but if you start f-ing at people it normally ends in fisticuffs!! As you can't have fisticuffs on a website a ban seemed fair to me. I class Andy as one of the people I have bonded with well since my arrival here but you can't get away with telling mods to F.O as much as you'd like to at times.!! H.

Branners Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Its not open to discussion folks. He was banned for not listening to a moderator and telling him to fk off when asked to behave. Yes, people were giving him flak on a for sale thread but all he had to do was report it to the moderators. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Are we allowed to tell mods to eff off BEFORE being reprimanded? Or is it just afterwards it's a problem? Just so I'm aware for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to mods, you never know if they are a little frustrated and might take it out on the first person that pops their head above the parapet JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB What did he do wrong, obviously before telling you to Feck off? its understandable him getting annoyed with everyone flaming him I never used to feel as policed as I do now on this board but hardly post any conflicing opinions/views or say things for fear of a ban nowadays, I never used to feel like that on here, it was always a wicked place to come on and share technical tips and have the odd constructive heated discussion with fellow enthusiasts without things getting nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Having just read the thread, my first opinion was that the Mod was joining in with the mocking. He should have banned some of the other folk as well, especially the fella that called him a c*ck. If i was Geneb i would have reacted in the same way...lets face it he has no chance of selling his car on here now, how would they have felt if it was them?
