lads and ladies,
looks like i have started a bit of a shit storm, this is not my intention.. i have been applying the rules, some of you may not agree that a postcode is not important, but its the rules.. the post earlier on was a bit of a balls up, and i could have handled that better, at the end of the day being a mod here is volunteer role and can be demanding at times.. we all do the best we can with what we have.
we all need to keep the forum moving and on a level that all users can understand, if you would like a change to the rules please email admin or post in this thread which is the discussion for the new rules
http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=83616, i will continue to apply the rules as they are written.
so can we move forward and just get along

well handled I think Barls.
If you have simply been enforcing the rules and people are stirred up then the rules should be looked at.
In my opinion the post code this on its own should not prohibit a post as long as the place is named in the post or in the location under members name.

Perhaps we could incorporate this sort of template when clicking on a 'new topic' in the for sales section? Similar to boostcruising.com?
If that came up straight away, I believe it would cure 99% of the "please add this...." to all sales sections.
Just my 2c 🙂

the form you are asking for has been asked for and is in the works. but it is a great idea

Ah sweet, and maybe also the ol' "FS:NSW" etc - hate searching posts and not knowing what state it's in....
but then again I'm just nit-picking 🙂

It takes a big man to stand up and help out and a bigger man to look at himself to improve to add valve.
don't worry you will always have the people that like to take down the umpire... because you know how much you get payed to help out around here.
Keep up the good work Barls
Let's all hope that this settles down now. A few minor rule changes may make it more difficult for those that want to snipe at each-other, via this forum, to do so.
A bit like your analogy of the countries fighting in the bar - if not nipped in the bud, it could get worse. I'm new to this forum, but not to life, and from an era when you would settle disputes quickly - often behind a shed - and not let things 'drag on'. My attempts to add a bit of humour didn't work.😢 All things considered, you have done well, Barls.
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
Dion , I will commend you on admitting that you have made a mistake and that you may try to do your job a little differently in the future . This was not the first time I have had a run in with you and have had my adds deleted or modified , but hope it will be the last . I think it is all caused by a reply to one of your posts that I replied to , to make you aware that when you were selling a used set of wheels for the sum of $ 1200 , I asked you if the price was correct as I sell the same item brand new for $ 700 . Since then you seem to be annoyed at me supporting this forum and selling different items at a good price . To suggest that I have been hijacking numerous threads is totally unfounded and simply not true . To also suggest or put the idea into peoples minds that I am importing parts illegally is really offensive and again simply not true . An apology or proof of these actions of mine would be a suitable resolution for me . I do not reply or add anything to this forum that does not help fellow members or concern me . I will continue to support this forum and will continue to supply the vw community with reasonably well price performance parts and accesories , ROD.

rod as i said in that post, you have thread hijack a few separate posts in the for sale section of different members and this has been noted by more than me, but thats not the argument here. also i have never said what you did was illegal nor did imply it. go back and check all i said was you were using different channels.
how about next time i do something like this you just pm me and remind me not delete every thing and go off on a rant about power tripping.

Maybe forum membership should include a valium script, would solve a lot of issues!
Dion , I think you are still on the power trip . Please supply me with the details of the so called indescreditions as these alegations are a concern of mine and are of an issue to me as you were the one to bring up the subject. This is the 2nd time I have asked for this information and if you make statements like this you had better back them up . I do take offence to this type of alegation as I know this is something you have pulled out of nowhere . I read a reply of yours that put the words ILLEGAL IMPORTING in peoples minds . If you have some proof of this I would like to se it . I do not have to justify to you on how I import or price out my stock . I have been importing for over 15 years and have never had a problem with customs or quarantine and have no idea of where or why you would use this term . I dont know if this is your way of becoming famous or not , but I will be taking this up with the administrators of this forum . ROD.

Hey, hasn't it been a bit cold lately?

Why should Rod have to cop this in silence?
Every time Barls, an Admin for christ's sake, that should be setting an example, post's he is allowed to make allegations and infer improprietry?
But Rod is supposed to please let it go and PM his issues give me fucken break!
Hypocrite??
If I were Rod and an Admin treated me the way Barls has and has treated so many others I'd pack up and leave!

As obviously out of the handful of threads made in the last 48 hrs full of banshee screams and gunfire the issue has been stated yet people are still on fire running around with their hands in the air...
What would calm everyone down...?

STOP TALKING ABOUT IT
❗ It just adds fuel to that fire.
The weather is more important.

x2...stop talking about it, and stop deleting posts, then it will die its own death.
Continue deleting unoffensive posts, and you add fuel to the fire.

Stop talking about it???
It's a forum isn't it?
I suppose we could all just sit around and look at stuff.
If it's offensive delete it.
If it is contrary to a Mod's viewpoint it should be left alone. A good mod will let the conversation flow and we will all be better off for it. Trouble is there a too many who type big, but when the pressure is on to put up or shut up the delete.
eg: any thread over at the KC that a couple of the aforementioned big toughies take a dislike to.
jhp1, RodPenrose and Barls.
I am PM'ing all of you. You will all know I am very level headed and mature. All I ask is that you keep any personal thoughts about each other out of the forum public view for a couple of days, I can be a mediator, and any solutions that come out of it will be the best possible for all concerned.

got my vote,
does not have the decency to respond diplomatically to others that dont agree with him, also starts careless threads / sh-t stirring that should not come from a person in that position,
just read under his title for clues
