Yes it is oldn64 to you. I am around but after small accident a hospital visit was required. work has been great but bloody busy. helping run another forum takes up sometimes too, as does teh wifie and the house etc etc... Having three projects does not help either. things are settling down a little so more work will occur soonish. I am around but not as frequent as I once was. Also small issues of monetry qarms and other member really descourages me sometimes.. oh well guess that is life. at least I won..
Cheers

Yes i probly havnt been too nice sometimes but honestly if poeple just lerned to grow up and get a life instead of trying to antagonise other poeple on forums this place would run so much nicer..
I know the mods do there best specialy Tiny and Tinkers, but whats put me off this forums the most is not being able to speek out aloud like i would if i was in person with other members(like it was). It doesnt always meen that if you have a disagreement with someone that it will result in anything bad, I think poeple get more upset when there posts are deleted or edited rather then the argument or disagreement at hand(whatever you wana call it)..
Another thing is you cant even give your opinion or like/dislikes about a model car without anyone getting offended so the mods quickly jump in action to remove or edit such posts..I spose what else are they to do when some poeple get so uptight about it.
This post probly will get deleted so good luck to anyone that gets a chance to read it..

I think the hard part of running a PUBLIC forum on the net is if someone says something contriversial and others don't agree the website can be shut down really quick. The tolerance laws we currently have in Australia i think tend to remove freedom etc. I guess this is where the mods are oftend seen as being heavey handed, but in actual fact i guess they are trying to maintain the forums so we don't get shut down over someones point of view, or the thread simply is just going down and anymore replys to the thread will just throw petrol on the fire.
As a longtime member of the church and christian the beliefs that i hold can't be expressed a lot because i might offend someone with different beliefs. And there ends freedom of speach for not just what i believe but also the right to have an opinion.
Just remember people... mods are human as well.

For example i posted in a thread on how a certin car to me looks ugly and it was simply my opinion and not in anyway aimed at any particlur car or member but it was deleted befor i could refresh my page.. Now if it wasnt for the reaction it might have goten the mods would not have done anything to my post..
I dont think poeple should plainly not post if there opinion is different to others but i dont think they should try and preech there opinion on others, give your opinion and keep it at that and wether or not the other member listens/takes/understand or agrees with what you hav said it is there parogative to do so not yours...
In other words say what you think but leave it at that..

I'd like everyone to look at THIS thread too:
http://www.gmh-toran...?showtopic=3377
There are two threads in which these kind of things are being discussed and i'd really like to have everyone have a read of both and give their opinions. Its obvious there is a major problem happening here and its something that has to be discussed and remedied.
Please have a read and lets get this opt in the open and sorted so we can return to having some FUN in this place.
Cheers.

The last post that i removed that i belive needed removing was the post discussing LPG as a fuel source in which some mebers gave their opinions and some pretty nasty shit was said. Funniest thing is now.. LPG is more of a valid option for fuel than its ever been! so it was all for nix!
Anyway.. Please read the posts and let us know what needs to change. Just remeber, we cant have anarchy and we will NEVER put the forum in aposition of peril by allowing posts that have the chance of getting us sued.
What people fail to realise as members is that the admin/mod team are PERSONALLY responsible for what's said on a forum. Our backside is on the line when it comes to litigation and I for one will never risk my own wellbeing and assets for other people. I dare anyone to say that they would risk their house/etc for any forum. We are here of our own free will.. we give up our free time and i personally have put hundreds of dollars of my own money into making this place what it is. I'm not asking for anything but for this place to be the fun enjoyable place it once was.
End of sermon. ( for now again...)

As for the posts i mentioned being deleted, again its not the mods fault, its the plain and simple fact that some members will take offence to daily trivial non importent coments that we all deal with each day.. If this offence wasnt taken then the mods wouldnt be forced to do things like edit/delete and lock threads..
As i said befor i loved this community and i even draged a few of my good mates over to join in, but lately i have realy been put off even looking in here.. Thats just me by the way, but from what i can see im not alone..
Tiny maybe just moderating and controlling the threads isnt enough any more, you might have to step up to banning members or even baring them for small periods..
I persnly havnt ever taken any offence from anyone bar one member on this forums for the so many years iv been here, and even then i took it into PM and not in a public thread.
Like said above this place has so much knowledge specialy when members like REDA9X, HG350,Dr Terry, Strugler, BOTTLEDUP(and many more) contribute so much to this place, its a shame and a smack in the face to these members alone let aside the work/time and money the mod team has put in.
