Why was the supercruise thread locked

Why was this thread locked
the Moderator says there is too much insulting, Apart from one or two lame insults directed at me I can't really see any
I am not bothered by any insults
are the moderators over zealous
throwing their weight around

as i said the thread was going nowhere. i was actually asked to do something about it by another member.
as for the insults i was taking action before it became an all in brawl.
anyway its been done, it maybe unlocked later after being tidied up.
on a side note im suggesting that you be a bit more positive and productive in your comments on events that happen.

so now my opinions will be censored
did you not notice the ideas for a VW event topic?
where did that come from ? it was produced as a result of the spirited correspondence
in the thread
so it was productive
positive well that is a matter of opinion

barls wrote:i was actually asked to do something about it by another member.

did you read all the posts there is not really any insults as for predicting an all in brawl
that is presumptuos
can the moderators be puppeteered by members? It should be on your own doing not at the behest of others
Beer can cloud ones judgement

no they are more like arse hole, everyone has one its just that some times you dont want to see it.

so who does that bother??

if so delete the offending post do not lock a thread

Well there's a productive comment if i've ever seen one.
Almost as good as telling members to get back in their box.
What a role model. Leading AVD with fine standards.

it has been locked awaiting review by others to decide whats to be done.
if i had of just deleted the posts in question we still would be having the same conversation

Just checked the post it said A hole that could refer to air holes or A pillar rust holes everyone has them too
the arse hole bit is yours Moderator

you have i believe jumped the gun and made an error

Good ask the grown ups

ok well while we wait lets just leave it alone.

So who moderates the moderators????

This is a FORUM is'nt it?

I can't believe the post above.

barls wrote:ok well while we waitets just leave it alone.

this just confirms my suspicions that some of the moderators may not be of a standard required by this forum

I though the original post was ok. If someone wants to stick their neck and say what they think good luck to them and good on you for saying what you think "silver"

I agree! even though i have risked alienating myself to the mainstream, i believe mainstream is so yesterday ( so is that word, but you know what i mean)

Maybe we should have a vote to see if we want Barls as a moderator??..................now there's a good thread !


P.s. Silver, can you please put your postcode up.😂

Hey Barls edited his comment in the post above Matt Berrys and the quote in my post hows that done?
moderator privileges ????????

ahh yes a latot tnuc good for the job

In my view the affore mentioned moderator has to much of a personal opion as to what get said here. there are not too many posts that he does not interfere with and he needs to get a life. The last post I comented on about his compalaints about "the rules" I was pm'd and told not to post again.I feel this is way over the top and should be rained in by those above him with a bit more common sence.
As for the post being locked I along with Silver were stating fact in our view about the SuperCruise and its location and in my case the club that hosted it. What ever happend to free speach as long as it doesnt get nasty,personal or liable? but then again its sets a fine example to others when moderators start calling other posters aresholes.
Seems to me if they cant handle the job step down and let someone with a brain have a go.By the way I dont want the job as I have a life and could not be bothered watching every post and telling the posters about "the rules"

I said a moderator was a WANKER, and I was told I would be banned..................still doesn't change the fact that the moderator was a wanker though 🙅

Ah well I guess they are only dong their job...........and this will be deleted😏

P.s. Lardo can you please put up your postcode 😂

RRRRRRRRRRRRRR
its a mutiny Captain
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This appears to be the same in all clubs,organisations,etc,a few want to bag some one for doing a job that no one wants to do,over the years a lot of these clubs etc have closed down after this few got rid of the "offender" because no one will take a place of responsibility.Everyone has opinions and these forums,clubs etc all have rules which some seem to take exception to.

in before the lock

im going to put forward that i have never called anyone still on this board an arse hole and the post from me was in reference to opinions not one person in general.
as for the rules i posted i just updated a former post by brad. go back and check if you really must the original post was 2 years ago.
as for free speech this isnt america as much as it may look like it.
the thread in question has been closed move on with your lives.
as for all opinions of me as a moderator, feel free to email me with what you really think about me, i just dont care what you all think.
you all might want to go back and read the rules you agreed to when you joined the forum.
ps ive had two other mods agree with me on the post it stays as it is for the time being

As I said in the previous thread, 'This is PATHETIC'

The fact that this thread exists tells me that we need moderators, or at least baby sitters for the kids!

All this friction and nobody even had to mention 3.1415927 * (94/2)^2 * 69 * 4 / 1000. I think we have all progressed a long way since the early days of the forum.

surely this thread is insulting and going nowhere ?

Until now....=1915.3788

RE : A........
IT WAS MY POST AND IT HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT
Sorry for using my opinion........i was right though, not everyone wants to hear from.........,
as evident in this slanging match, funny posts by some of you,

Feel free to censor / abuse (just PM it so that it doesn't get deleted ) or laugh at me,
i really didnt think anyone would be offended by it,

or maybe it was my reference to AVD at the beginning, ( aahh AVD, everyone has an opinion....)

Who really cares ?

Nath ( PMOWYA)

this thread is far more insulting and inflammatory than the supercruise thread!
How then has it survived??
Oh thats right you have to ask the puppets/moderator to delete it
consistency is the key to good moderation
not knee jerk reactions to buddies complaints

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I don't understand any of this!

Has it something to do with LOCTITE?

Cheers, Greg

I have no idea about the thread as I've been v. busy at work and hadn't been here until last night.

Let me review it now.

The thread has been cleaned, but I do see a little remnant of the argy bargy, and if that's any indication of the sort of thing going on, I support the moderators' choices in cleaning it out.

Please consider your fellow Dubbers when posting something negative, particularly when we need more events and more friendships here, not less.

More cruises!

thanks,
Andrew

thanks for the support andrew.

Barls, you have my support. I would have stopped or edited the unnecessary posts long ago. Good work!

ps The moderators must get paid heaps for the shit you cop!

I feed them cat food if they miaow.

In my day, we walked fifteen miles, ate cardboard, and were glad for it.

thanks,
Andrew

VERY VERY SAD

And mine too 👍

Please put your contact details in your for sale add or it will be deleted.....
Oh sorry Barls, thats your other Standard response.

Im with Silver on this one. We are all big boys and girls, censorship should be an absolute last resort.

Andrew, some of the Mods have at times been heavy handed in their approach. Perhaps a warning in the thread first would help.

When is enough, enough!

I've been alive longer that some of you have been embryos in you grand mother’s wombs. That right, even before your mother was born. I am old, retired and look forward to see what’s on AVD. I don’t like everything I see on here but I do get a good giggle now and then.

Now wankers come in all shapes and forms, and being a realist, I have done things in the past that in hindsight, sadly found me guilty of being a wanker too! It happens!

In a civilised society, if a person is misrepresented in any way, they have the right to a range of legal options including defamation.

If I were offended by comments on a forum, I would firstly report the incident to the forum administrator and if nothing was done, I would have the option of taking legal action against both the web site and the author of such comments. Sure, there are two sides to the argument, and that is what a judge will consider from the arguments of the prosecutor and the defence.

All it needs, is some bitter old bugger with too much time on their hands, a lot of money in the bank with not long to live, who is looking for an opportunity to kick some young bucks arse in a court of law to make his point and then seek damages.

Think about what you say/post on this site, because law makers and law enforcers have an amazing amount of information on this site that they can use against you.

Remember, most lawyers give the first meeting for free, and if they think they can earn themselves a dollar, well that’s what makes the world go around.

Dave

I agree with you completely and to make a point I have not defamed anyone ever! I merely reserve the right to an opinion and will often exercise that right, and sincerely hope others will as well
sure not everyones opinion is going to sit well with everyone but that is life!
The most important point in legal issues is "He with the least money loses"
as for litigation I do not have a case to answer for, others though should be as clever

A very interesting subject indeed.

Is moderating fun? Sometimes.

It's fun until it becomes a chore, and when you know that no matter what you do, someone, somewhere will take offense. Being picky on things does not make for a fun forum, and I believe we need some grey areas instead of total black and white on some rulings. However, some of the rules that are in place are there to protect the consumer. Those rules might seem a bit anal, but if someone gets ripped off by someone on the forum, they may very well come after those who run the forum.

As for freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is great until someone takes offense and decides that they're going to go after the mods, administrators, or other members and sue them because of a libelous post. This is why cleanups occur - to keep threads on track and to remove possible damaging content. If you're prepared to inflame and argue, then also be prepared to have some of the content removed occasionally. This is not about taking away the right of free speech, but to ensure forums such as this remain operational and viable.

I can certainly understand that we're all big boys and girls and should have thick skins, but the reality of the matter is that people will and do take offense, and will take action if they feel they must.

If you don't like it, that's fine too. Perhaps come up with some ideas on how the mods can try and manage these types of situations in the future? Remember though - the mods are dubbers too, only doing this as part of their hobby, and to keep AVD operational.
