I thought the same thing but arguing about it will only put you in the "shitstormer" category and then you're gone with the click of a button whenever they feel is appropriate or when they are capricious enough to use the power they have to make those that don't comply disappear. What's the point?
They're chucking this issue as another "upheaval" like the TFL exodus (good riddance for most of the retards that left for good) but that consisted of people that did not like the PG13 content here. It had nothing to do with the knowledge donations from good members, it didn't have anything to do with how unfair the forum treats those who are making a little extra cash. It was about immature adults who wanted to make this place into Sodom and Gomorrah.
This is NOT like previous problems about banning people. It's about the principle of how members are valued in a community that is often ignored by the 95% of the population. It's about how a VALUED member of the rotary community is chastized for failing to comply to regulations he, and WE believe are unfair. I used the word "VALUED" because we're not doing this because he's cool, or we like him, or he's a friend, or he tells it how it is. We're doing this because of the amount of info and traffic brought by this member is worth absolutely NOTHING because he won't bend over for IB.

kontakt was the one that said there is a soul here, I simply used his word in my reply (hence the punctuation). When did I say that parting out FD's was hurting the community? I sad that buying 4 RX's and parting them for a profit is the actions of a dealer. You are making income off parting out multiple cars. That is what a dealer does.
But then explain too me how it is you think that you are even able to comment, when you obviously have not read what has been posted and are clearly making crap up.
That is the biggest issue on this board. People making crap up. People saying Kevin is banned forever... when in reality he was banned for only a week (instead of two weeks like he should have been). People saying that IB banned or forced Kevin out. People saying that I claim there is a soul on this board, people claiming that individuals can't sell here in classifieds, people making **** up in the technical sections. ALL lies, all made up crap.
Is your life that funking sad that you have to make **** up and not even read a thread through before replying?
I guess so.
That is the biggest problem. Frankly I am going to ask at this Mod call Sunday so that people that just make **** up be banned... Then you can really have something to worry about.
and here I thought I was all done with this pathetic thread of crap.

seriously, how do you expect anyone to take the mods seriously when they post like they've posted in here? We;re supposed to give respect where it is due and MODS are losing face with each "irritated" post they make.
telling people to leave is not acceptable.
Saying you want to ban 90% of the members isn't a solution.
Who gets to reprimand the overzealous MODS that are allowed to run around waving their "internet powers" at anyone and everyone? You guys have the only guns on this forum and you've taken advantage of it long enough. Someone needs to re-evaluate why this forum is here and make sure it's laid out IN A CLEAR CONCISE MANNER so we know whether we are users without rights and should expect a ban at anytime. You volunteered to MODERATE because you spend enough time here to know how people work and in order to maintain a civil communication forum. The forum rules were created so that every member can enjoy and take ADVANTAGE of this medium. As the place grew the rules evolved and now it's not about the users anymore, it's about th business and how to make more cash off the users.

If it wasn't for the color differences and whatnot of their user names and bold lettering, I wouldn't be able to see where the regular memebers ended and the mods/admins began.

I posted:
Doesn't seem vague to me... If you are a dealer, you can't sell in Classifieds. What is vague about that? If you buy 4 RX-7s just so you can part them out and make the money off of helpless members here (often claiming that you are a service to the community... but) in reality you are a dealer.
You just said it's a lie that individuals can sell on the board while complaining about people creating confusion. Win.
Now that's just naive.

I'd bitch you out about never admitting your wrong even when it's tiny, little, and stupid... but you admitted to the enplane thing earlier, so it'll slide.
Oh and who's Charlie?
Seriously though... why should anyone read your posts if you're just going to change them to be whatever you want later?
Edit: also, I wasn't trying to say that you MEANT individuals couldn't sell. I'm not actually that stupid (though I can understand that assumption... most are) I was just saying that maybe you should... get this... pay attention to what you say while demanding that people pay attention to what you say.

And you feed in to all the drama, just like everyone else does. You're just as much to blame as any user who "makes **** up" and I honestly believe you and several other mods/admins set a poor example as to what members should act like.
Lead by example or bitch because you don't get paid.

^Grow the heck up ****.
Why make drama? Huh?
I bet if you were taken prisoner unfairly you'd walk along making fun of the guards clothing. You'd be beaten. Hopefully you'd talk back again and be killed.

We are all members of the rotary community. Most of us have the unique rotary power vehicles, and chances are that if we didn't, we still would be into some sort of car or truck that gave us pleasure to drive.
Comrades in rides, so to speak. At very least we all appreciate performance cars.
But it does **** me off when there are people just trying to incite and stir **** up or made up crap. See that is against every mod, because as I posted earlier, mods and admins just want the community to get along. They don't want people stirring up ****, they want every one just to follow the rules that whoever created the board wanted.
There is not one mod or admin I know... here or on any other board that wants to give warnings or ban people. I know there are plenty of members that do... but usually they are not mods here or anywhere else.
So you and the buddies here will probably twist this around in some stupid way, but know that there is not hate, there is no dislike, there is no "out to get someone"...
And if you or anyone else here is at 7 stock, and has the ***** to walk up to me, know that I indeed will shake your hand, be happy to talk what ever about that you want, and if you are around after dinner at the hotel, I'll drink a beer with you or anyone here with no ill feelings at all.
After all, it is just the Internet.
