Cool

Sorry KIPPAX - we are now all to act as boring and uninteresting as 'SOME' and ONLY SOME moderators on here - some of them are great ........................ you KNOW who you are!!

What a sad sad day - No more banter (unless it suits the moderator) no more jokes (if they are not funny to the moderator then they are BANNED you naughty person!) no more wind-ups (whats a wind-up, says the moderator .... Everything in life is so SERIOUS!!)

Its a good job they dont mind the earth spinning - or I am SURE as eggs are eggs that they would try and STOP it!!! the sad thing is that they would think that they COULD!!!! ha ha ha

There ARE still some decent moderators left by the way - dont get the idea that they are all walking around with their heads where the sun dont shine

Why not just start an 'average wages in the UK' thread in 'Non-Scooby related' and banter away.

THATS what this is ALL about!!!!!

I've just clicked!! - people complained about the wages being discussed on my BANNED thread and didnt like the fact they were earning less than the average wage of £62400 - I maintain that NO-ONE can live (and I mean live) on less!!

If 'living' includes 'running a scoob' then I agree. OTOH, far better to have you and your wife both earning half the average wage at around 31k each

My wife only gets £48600 in the City - but her bonuses make up for that.

Her bonus payed for the New Forest Cottage we have, and the cruiser lying off Lymington, so its not all bad.

40% tax???????????/ are you MAD!!!!!

I can offset it against the houses we rent out in Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Wight ............... SORTED!!

40% tax of course not. Ladies of the night don't declare their earnings and neither do their pimps.

The thing that really irritates me, is that you seem to be of the mind that the moderators lock things based on what THEY want.

I locked that thread based on what OTHER people wanted. It has NOTHING to do with what I want! Our job is to do what the community wants to the best of our knowledge.

If you want to be boring, please do. But it has nothing to do with what the moderators want.

If you can't see that then there is absolutely no reason in discussing it.

All the best

Shaun said, that, Had he read the thread HE would have locked it anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry, but that IS doing what he wants!!

What about the people who were enjoying the thread?? I now have 127 e-mails!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how many complaints did YOU get?? 2? 5? 10? 50 even???

I would hazard a guess that it was in single figures - you had to take a view as to whether the complaints were justified - in MOST peoples opinions there were NOT - I think I know who complained - you MUST know me quite well (from posts anyway) and you KNOW I sail close to the wind - but THAT thread WASNT even close mate, come on .................... look at it again - innocent isnt it??

There are much worse as you know!!

I have some lovely e-mails from some great people, the 'old' crowd mainly, some new ..................... the old ones are REALLY annoyed at how I was treated - YOU know some and count them as your friends!!!

Its for THAT reason YOU have the problem I think, not me - we could talk via e-mail if you would like to be professional? I will NOT name anyone who have e-mailed me in confidence however!

I wouldn't for one second want you to name anybody. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

The reason shaun would have locked it is because he would have seen it as being in the interests of scoobynet. Do you really think he has time / cares personally about things like that. I know I don't. All I want is to keep this thing going for everyone (me included).

I'm pleased for you that you have so many emails supporting your "good fight". But you cannot in any way decide what "most" people think. We can't do that either and we're trying to do that every day. I sorry you and your 127 emails think we do such a bad job.

Is it really worth all this though? We're not trying to censor you, we didn't delete anything, we merely stopped a thread that offended some people and had no purpose / point being in the for sale section.

Feel free to post another thread in for sale, and then one more in the muppet show.

Until then, I wish you all the best, and I'm going to bed.

Regards

Simon

Do we have a protocol on this? If so how many people need to complain before it is warranted to close a thread?

It was, as usual, a pathetic and childish piece of name calling. Admittedly more suited to the playgroung than the BBS. But, there was no foundation for libel so no need for the thread to be locked to prevent litigation.

If any individual found it boring or in poor taste the simple solution was to ignore the thread. There are numerouse occasions were unwanted comments have been made in For Sale and the seller has objected. Why was action taken in these case when Pete was obviously unconcerned?

Unconcerned????????????????

I was Bl00dy LIVID !!!!!!!!!!

Come on it was all a bit of fun, someone on the thread didnt like it at all - he was getting out of his depth taking me on thats all, so he and his RS Imports got together and complained - I've met them before, spineless weasels.

I am STILL staggered at WHY it was deemed by (sensible???) people to be a PADLOCKING offence - muppetise it by all means but LOCK it without reason????? NAH - NOT ON ..... there is a note at the end of the thread now (as it should have been before!)

LOOK I was going to bed - leave me alone!!

Pete

I think PSlewis should shut the F*** up and stop being such a whiney little B***H. The moderators do a good job here on scoobynet sotring out all the crap that idiots put on here. If you do not want to talk about scoobys or other related issues go elsewhere and while you are at it GET A LIFE!!!!!

Nezz10 - you going on a track day or anything soon??? would just like to meet you, you seem like someone I could get on with!! You speak your mind, I admire that ..... telling someone you dont know to shut up and insulting them - you must be one MEAN son of a B1tch - just up my street.

Let me know

Pete

Oh, yes, as I have said before somewhere on one of your worthless posts - if you dont like it DONT read it - what a d1ck you REALLY are!

Pslewis at times you really do act like a 10 year old whose just had his sweets nicked. Can you not just let it drop - if your such a mellow guy why do you keep on adding petty comments to a dead subject. All this beacause a moderator shut down your thread on a BBS that you use for free - GET OVER IT!

P1Fanatic - I have ignored your comments up to now, as you are insignificant to me. I cant understand why you READ the posts when you DONT like them?? Cant you just NOT read my stuff??? its EASY - really it is!! You have a problem clearly, let me help you:-

Intructions on how not to allow Pslewis to get to you:-

1. When you see his name - DONT read any further, you dont like it.

2. Errrrrr

3. Errrrrr

4. Errrrrr good god there is ONLY ONE instruction - and you FAIL to grasp that SINGLE point???

There are people who live in ICE, Drivetrain, people who dont go into the muppets, people (plenty of them) who visit where they want - I dont go into ICE and say that I think they are a waste of space because they talk gold wires, amps and such.

So, P1Fanatic and anyone else who doesnt 'quite' get my humour and rantings ................................... Go away and read something else ................. You do NOT have to read stuff you dont want to!! You lot are the same people as those who said that shops shouldnt open on a Sunday, 'EVERYONE should worship God on a Sunday NOT shop' - they were in a minority too!!
