look mate, just because he hasn't got a TT doesn't mean he knows nothing about them. these are forums where people shouldn't be made to feel scared to post. its people like you that stop people from joining up. if you don't cut it out i'll cut you off.
consider this your first and last warning.

First off, I'm not your mate.
Secondly, I don't really care for your stand off like behavour. I'm glad that being an administrator, and being all threatening like fulfills your ego after being shunted off elsewhere, but frankly, I don't give a hoot to your situation.
I'm tired sifting through these forums, only to see useless crap being relentlessly posted in inappropriate areas. I think its about time people posted things respectively in whats an appropriate opinion, and an appropriate comment in their own field of knowledge, in the appropriate forums/threads.
Personally, I think you should drop this "them versus us" attitude in regards to the other "specific model Subaru forum". Your attitude that you have demonstrated in your above post is that you (and other authoritative figures) have too much of a relaxed stance to people who post absolute horse s**t in threads where its not required. I think its about time you and other admin stepped up to the plate, and start to police things around here with a little more observance and consideration for others. I'm not asking you to go all Nazi, but it would be nice to see some people being pulled up for their misconduct and blatant inconsideration.
To an extent i can agree with this comment.
But only to the point about post needing to be kept to a point, and not commenting too far out of what you do actually know.
But having said that People still need to able to learn from there mistakes and ask questions that may seem to be stupid, to some one who knows better.

Isn't this forum designed to help those that need it?
And to exchange information? the fact that the information could be incorrect is irrelevant, as the my first point would suggest.

I realize that i have said some stupid things, but had it not been for the people on this forum, i would never have know. and that right there is the very essence of a public forum, i think anyway.

I'm sure there maybe other points i could have included, but they aren't coming to me at this moment.
Also there need to be a thread were this can be discussed, instead of ruining other threads.

Cheers, Paul.

IMO. i think that everyone should be given a fair go and be able to voice their words. BUT in saying that it has to be reasonable! mindless crap is pointless! noone wants to read it! if you have no idea what the OP of thread is asking or something that someone has asked just keep quiet and let someone who does know answer!

if things are kept sensible around here and mindless dribble is kept to a MINIMUM there will be no arguments or bitch fights.

not pointing fingers as i'm sure everyone is probably guilty of this (hell even myself) but keep it ON TOPIC guys!

I think this is one of the threads that SOO08I would be blowing up about, this is just going to become another whore thread,

Whore threads are good when there is some humour/meaning to them,

I agree with with both sides to this battle, so im on the fence, but the amount of "will neon lights make my car look cool" threads is starting to shi* me too, along with this fukkin piece of shi* mother fukker, pain in the a$$, cun@ of a  SWEAR FILTER,

Agreed Alexxx.

But i think the way some people, can blow up is just as bad as the mindless sh1t.

everyone just needs to be more understanding, and some people need to get of there high horses.

did i miss something??? EDIT.... found it

i havent been on here much recently and havent had much time to read through the threads. as a mod i would like to read everything and keep an eye on things, but i dont have the time, and i dont feel i should necessarily have to.

its upto the users to watch what they post and if somethings not appropriate or targetted at you then PM one of us and we can warn the offending member. in regard to the posts above, well i think that soo081 went too far to start with and i agree with joel, it was an uncalled for comment and didnt warrant replying to, letalone being written in the forst place. alex's reply to joel was also in my view excessive. Xon's comment was not out of line and he wasnt posting false information, only his opinion. which is good to have multiple people thinking alike to enforce/dispute someones initial statement, this type of conduct is what makes forums work well and allows people to learn and expand their knowledge.
now there are some people who post crap they know little/nothing about and that could potentially point someone in the wrong direction or even to do something that costs alot of money. its at that time you can quote them and say that its a bad idea or that you think they are wrong, and others will support you if need be.however starting a sh!tfight or intimidating others is not a good option and will result in this kind of online confrontation and potentially action from admin as youve seen.

as for whoring the Rant thread is for that and its good that most of you practice your typing skills there instead of dribble in others threads. ill be a little stricter on issuing warnings now as it seems some of you feel it necessary.

Also, Ive cleaned the mentioned incident out of public view to make it a nicer place.

so if anyone has any other B!tching to do then PM me and ill mediate if reqd, otherwise go suck a lemon and smile big_smile
