Blog on Ozhonda

[wynode]

As part of the upgrade (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=111999)to vB3.8.2 I've also added the ability to Blog via Ozhonda.

What is it?
For people new to blogging it is basically,

A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. [SOURCE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog)]

How do I see peoples Blogs?
Use the Blog (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/blog.php)link on the navigation bar at the top

How do I post items to my Blog?
Use the Blog link at the top to go to your Blog. From there you will see a small box on the left which allows your to either Post to you Blo (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/blog_post.php?do=newblog)g or go to your Blog Control Panel (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/blog_usercp.php?do=editoptions) (among other things). Take a few minutes to check out the Blog Options in the Blog Control Panel (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/blog_usercp.php?do=editoptions).

Blog Categories
There are three predifed categoris which you can post your Blog to. Either Honda related, non-Honda related (for Blogging about your hobbies/interests) or Site related (this is restricted to moderators / admins.

Can I Customise my Blog layout/colours etc?
This is a feature that is reserved to members that Subscribe to Ozhonda by contributing financially to the site. See this thread (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7156)for more information.

[kazam]

isn't this just a stupid waste of forum memory were people just write useless sh1t they could have put in the spam or vent threads?

[i_own_you]

yeah, i don't see the point of this really.

if people want to blog, there's twitter etc.

[wynode]

A lot of users do spend time on here so instead of logging onto another site......they can do it straight from Ozhonda. At the end of the day its up to the uers(s). If it's not being used much then it can be disabled.

[kazam]

its not a feature that won't be used, evry1 will eventually blog, but i am sure u could have come up with a better way of using forum memory... it seems the only point u implemented the blogging feature is 2 save people from logging on2 other sites?

so in the end its about the money.

[wynode]

Not necessarily. That said, i'm not sure what you mean by "better way of using forum memory...."

[kazam]

well u always mention that features like disabling filters between search times (that 20second period) will put a strain on the forum and slow it down...

[wynode]

so in the end its about the money.
LOL and what does blogging have to do with money?

It's a feature that's there. If you don't want to use it you don't have to. It is that simple really.

EDIT:

well u always mention that features like disabling filters between search times (that 20second period) will put a strain on the forum and slow it down...

There's a big difference between 300+ users hitting the new posts button at once as opposed to a few people posting to their blog or reading a blog. I still don't see the point you're making.

[cracker]

they'll advertise soon

[dc2dc2dc2]

wait wait.

i cannot belive what im reading.

what an absolute joke.

as a another moderator would say 'there are other sites to do these things, use them'

double standards.

just because the boss wants to blog, everybody must blog.

like my frined lucas said ozhonda = communism

[kazam]

I still don't see the point you're making.

i'll save u the time of having 2 wait 4 wynode 2 actually respond, but im going to assume his response will be something like this.

[krogoth]

wait wait.

i cannot belive what im reading.

what an absolute joke.

as a another moderator would say 'there are other sites to do these things, use them'

double standards.

just because the boss wants to blog, everybody must blog.

like my frined lucas said ozhonda = communism

hey, dont bag communism

capitalism is just as fkn shit, lol

i think u r implying, ozhonda = dictatorship

im not implying that it is, simply taking a swipe at capitalism, lol

but to stay on topic, i too think all the new features are unnecessary, but then im an old school net user, i dont blog, have fb or myspace, i dont bother with any of that crap, lol

but then i think its ok, coz im sure alot of members do like the idea

cant keep evry1 happy i spose

[dc2dc2dc2]

stop fence sitting emogoth

u always sit on fence.

u are allowed to have an opinion without getting banned. . . wait u probably will.

[aaronng]

wait wait.

like my frined lucas said ozhonda = communism

Nobody's forcing you to blog. Stop jumping to your own conclusions. If you want to use it, the blog is there. If you think blogs are shitty and silly, then don't use it. :)

[dc2dc2dc2]

so what about the sluts thread?

same shit, if u dont like it dont read it. Its got an 18+ symbol.

there are other forums for this blog crap.

[aaronng]

so what about the sluts thread?

same shit, if u dont like it dont read it. Its got an 18+ symbol.

There were several complaints made against those kinds of threads. The brothel thread which turned into a brothel experience thread received complaints and the slut thread is in a similar light, painting a poor image for women.

You can complain against the blog thread with reason that it affects you negatively. Doubt you can close the blog down, but if you find some other member posting your personal details or activities without your permission, we can and will delete that blog in question.

[dc2dc2dc2]

cool

thanks aaron

finally a mod that is reasonable

Benjamin & Aaron

hands down best 2 moderators.

[wynode]

just because the boss wants to blog, everybody must blog.

like my frined lucas said ozhonda = communism

Please point out where it says that you MUST blog.

Also clarify how Ozhonda = communism. Sounds like your limited mental capacity cannot comprehend the true meaning of the word.

You are not forced to be here on Ozhonda. If you don't like it then do not come here. The site is free to signup to so if you don't like it then PM me and I will disable your account. Sounds to me like you are just bitter after returning from you ban. Build a bridge and get over it tai.

[dc2dc2dc2]

sounds like u want to get rid of me & members like me.

what ever happened to 'anonymous poll'

that a load of bs that is.

and me getting accused of having multiple accounts last night by qball

instantly copped a 6 point infraction for no reason.

yeh... ozhonda is really fair.

once ur in the black book, u never get out.

It is annonymous......ie people cannot see who voted except for myself. Just like only I (and other mods) can see peoples IP addresses.

Just because it is annonymous it does not give you the right to abuse it and make false votes. You got an infraction (and subsequent banning for exceeding 20 points) and deserved it. It's memebers like YOU who make things harder for mods by just being a general idiot. If anything, being a long time member (and former mod), I would expect more maturity. I have noticed though that after being a moderator is when you have started acting in an immature fashion on the forums.

Tai, you seem to be very good at complaining and kicking up a fuss but will never do anything about it. It's one thing to complain but it takes a lot more to actually do something about it.

The infractions system was brought in to reduce moderator bias and I believe it is doing a great job. Else you probably would have been banned for longer (no, this is not a threat it is a statement).

As for the infraction about multiple accounts, I'm talking to Q about that.

As for being in the 'black book'.....that is your own mentality. That said, we do have a zero tolerance for you and a couple of other members due to your malice towards the site and the people who spend so much time in helping to run it. I have mentioned this before and this is only your fault.

We run this site for the greater good of ALL the members, not just yourself.

If you still have a problem then PM me or make a new thread. This is going off topic.

[cracker]

are these blogs at a testing stage or are they a permanent feature now?

[Type S Tony]

Can I bring back another brothel thread????

[aaronng]

Can I bring back another brothel thread????

Unfortunately, no you can't.

[Q_ball]

are these blogs at a testing stage or are they a permanent feature now?

Blogs and social groups are simply a new standard feature on this version of vbulletin.
They are a permanent feature until someone turns them off in the back end afaik.

[kazam]

hi, considering the recent jump in bans related 2 blogging, can u tell me where it says theres a restriction on what you can post? where is the warning for unaware members?

[wynode]

It's all in here:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/legal.php

EDIT:
In particular Section 5(b)

..is unlawful, defamatory, libellous, threatening, abusive, offensive, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, dangerous, knowingly false, harassing, sexually oriented, racist, or invasive of an individual's privacy;

[kazam]

i think something in here a little more specific would be a better option

[krogoth]

that is very open to interpretation

[spastic]

look at ozhonda asian girls thread wynode.

i think half of ozhonda will get banned if wynode took a step in there.

[aaronng]

look at ozhonda asian girls thread wynode.

i think half of ozhonda will get banned if wynode took a step in there.

Based on recent events with a certain brothel thread, we contemplated deleting the asian girls and hot chicks thread. But we did not do so because members frequent those threads a lot and would complain to no end. But now is seems that some of you want some actions that will cause those threads to be deleted. Please decide. Do you want things to keep going the way they are, or do you want us to be "fair" and delete ALL "adult" threads on the forum?

[spastic]

tai:

hell if wynode can infract me for 10points for blogging my thoughts and talking about porn.

i just want to know that he is not personally after my head so i am banned for life.

so yes aaron, i would like to see all adult threads closed.

this forum is suppose to be about fairness right? not one rule for certain members and other rules for others.

BE GONE WITH CHICKS THREADS.

this is in internet go get ur fix on other sites as wynode would say.

[spastic]

oh and add:

the only thing i care about right now is where are the rules stating how much a member can blog? since when was there a cut off. and like krogoth said spammed my blog more than me.

waiting for wynodes reply on that matter.

[krogoth]

no u dont tai u ****ing *******************

leave the hot chicks and asian girls thread out of this

this guy trying to troll the whole forum.........

[Twincam16]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/blog.php?b=91 - Tai how can you call this a Blog?

I like reading Blogs like Petronas's but all I spot now is useless posts put into the blog section. It puts off clicking "blog" and nobody needs or wants to hear this useless shit. I like an interesting read time to time and not having to filter through junk about being back from a ban or other spam...

[krogoth]

but its his personal blog?????

there was nothing in there breaking any rules

and it wasnt 50 replies of spam per topic, so u cant even call it spam

u cant dictate what is and isnt useless shit

its a blog, som1 is talking about themselves, the entire concept is based on useless time wasting shit

[wynode]

Posting pornographic content however is inappropriate.

Looks like we might have to raise the issue of the appropriateness of the hot chicks threads given the recent events then. I'll bring it up with the other mods but sounds like you guys want that gone as well.

[krogoth]

win, PLEASE dont use that **** tai and his accomplice as a REPRESENTATION of all of us

i know how convenient that would be for u as u would love to delete both of those two threads......

leave them as they are......they are just two ancient threads

just keep those two, dont allow anything else of that kind

[krogoth]

but its his personal blog?????

there was nothing in there breaking any rules

and it wasnt 50 replies of spam per topic, so u cant even call it spam

bump in case it was missed

and i agree with u win, posting pornographic content is not acceptable

i troll both of those threads many times every day

and 99% of posts adhere to that rule

occassionaly people step out of line and get reported straight away, its just some soft imagery...

[kazam]

Looks like we might have to raise the issue of the appropriateness of the hot chicks threads given the recent events then. I'll bring it up with the other mods but sounds like you guys want that gone as well.

dude just stay out of both those threads, they are already well moderated, if u go inthere, you'll come up with a ridiculous reason 2 delete both of them, then i will personally make it my duty of life 2 spam every thread with pornographical images and i will start a new movement 2 join me in this mission, and juding by the amounts of views both those threads get, i think ozhonda will have some problems... consider this.. "a warning" wynode, think of it like, my personal way of giving out infractions......... its ok 2 be scared now

[aaronng]

Behaviour like that is not tolerated both online (you're basically wanting to do the equivalent of recruiting lots of zombies and DDOSing a server, which is not legal) and in real life. It would help if you behave properly on the OH and any other forum for that matter.

Plus, you just threatened the administrator of OH. This forum is for Honda vehicles with a small section for off topic threads. Now you have let it get into your head that OH is about off topic and not about Honda vehicles.

Why are you blaming Wynode? Blame the guy who wrote this: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2375281&postcount=32

Telling a site admin to stay out of his site? That's a good one!

Anyways....I'll take that as a direct threat....threatening to spam the site or even attempting it will have you and all your friends banned.

And you guys think we're targeting you :)

[spastic]

no reply on that wynode?

and like tai said where is the criteria as to a limit of how much someone can blog per day, he treated it like a twitter 'random thoughts' etc.

why did u threaten him and say to him if u spam in ur blog again u will be perm banned. it does not say anywhere as to limits a member can blog, making up new rules just so u can find an excuse to ban poor tai.

[wynode]

No need for a go between. Ask tai to have another read of the PM I sent him with the infraction. The reason for the infraction is in there.

[JasonGilholme]

dude just stay out of both those threads

Why do kazam and dc2dc2dc2 whinge and moan all the time?

Why don't you two take your own advice and just don't read/post in the blog area.

You've been provided with a spam area, for your spam. you've been provided with a porn area, for your porn. These two sections are probably looked down upon by a large number of people in the community. do you see them complaining?? NO

Now a section has been provided for people who wish to blog and you two pipe up!?

Stop being selfish, the forum wasn't made for you. and the owners/moderators have a hard enough time catering for you two let alone the rest of us.

get over yourself and give up the whole "ozcommunist" BS. Its an internet forum, if you don't like it go outside for a change.

Wyn, you guys are doing a good job, don't worry about these two meat heads. :thumbsup:

[spastic]

'blog abuse' was reason for 10 pointer.

but he is asking for future reference.

how much can one blog, where it is deemed spam blog.

why can't he treat it like twitter. people twitt stuff every 10 min.

he blogged 2-3 times a week.

[krogoth]

yeh i think implying or threatening to bombard the forum is not constructive at all really..

but seriously i dont think dc2dc2dc2 deserved that infraction for the blog

there was no spam in his blog

have a look aaron.....its all harmless

there are like one or two new topics evry week, with max 4 or 5 replies per topic over that time.........

spam would be much worse than that...

it should at least be specified, say if there are more than 10 replies per topic then the mod may choose to infract what they see as spam after the 10th reply as they see fit....

but it may genuinely be an interesting topic that many people may be interested in and want to talk about

and u cant determine what is and isnt useless shit, the whole idea of som1 telling us what they are doing on a day to day or hour to hour basis is already sitting in the useless time wasting shit basket..

dc2dc2dc2 himself said the blog was crap http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2266922&postcount=11

So if he wants to be a hypocrite and use the blog and go further by posting sexually explicit content (I remember there was a tiny asian girl and bbc involved), then good on him for getting infracted.

[krogoth]

fair enough i missed tiny asian girl and bbc, though i was under the impression that it was another member that found that particular video not dc2dc2dc2, though i could be wrong

im not saying tai is an angle, yes he can and is sometimes a pain in the ass, but what i dont get is he seems to be getting a lot more attention from u guys than so many of the other trouble makers on here

in the end he only comes on here and makes 10 posts a day max....he keeps on going with his antics because he knows he is pissing u guys off.....maybe if u just ignored him isntead of watching his every move, lol

i once clicked his profile and saw at least 6 mods watching his movements, lol

[JasonGilholme]

he gets attention because he wants it. end of story.

if he didn't want the attention, then he'd be like the rest of us who just browse the forum and enjoy it for what it is.

Its the same half a dozen people who keep turnin up in situations like this. Its not because they're being targeted, its because they're asking for it.

If he/they don't like this place so much, why don't they leave or make their own place?

[spastic]

dc2dc2dc2 himself said the blog was crap http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2266922&postcount=11

he does belive the blog is crap, whats stopping someone from blogging even if they are against it? a blog can be used at freewill. who are u to say he changed his mind and started enjoying the blog.

also you still have no answered the question what is considered 'spam' blog.
like krogoth said a blog is ones thoughts. you cannot deem someones thoughts and personal opinions for the day/hour/minute as spam.

'sexually explicit' aaron. i read the asian girls thread, you and qball were talking about sticking ur wee wee up the asian girls clacker. that is not sexually explicit? yet dc2dc2dc2 talking about asian girl getting banged is a 10 point infraction.

[kazam]

Kazam's movement is not tolerated on this forum. If you do so, you will be banned instantly.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA if there was equality in the moderation of the forum, such movements would not be neccessary

[aaronng]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA if there was equality in the moderation of the forum, such movements would not be neccessary
Yes, so if sexually explicit posts are not allowed in the blogs, then they should not be allowed in the asian girls/hot chicks thread. Having said that, if the photos contained in those two threads are also sexually explicit, they are at risk of being deleted. Why do you think mods delete any pics with genitals or sexual acts? It is to prevent the asian girls and hot chicks thread from being deleted.

Don't think that you own the forums and that it is your right to have softcore threads. It is there because the admin was lenient. Maybe being too lenient has lead to the growth of people like yourself who think that they can get their way by carrying out illegal movements.

[krogoth]

but i still think the asian and hot girls threads are pretty clean in general

90% of the stuff that goes through those threads are not worse than what you would find inside an fhm mag in safeway

[spastic]

Yeah, sadly his lulz are no moar.

OT: So, is there a set limit for blog or what?

mods still have no answered this question.

if this forum lost the hot chicks / asians thread, we might as well murge with ozhomos.com coz that is what it would become, we dont have any sort of 'guy threads' besides the gym one, forums like ns.com have whole sections on gym and sport, and the queeredators on this forum wanna delete sexual pictures of girls? lol dont u guys have anything better 2 do? go deal with the people getting spammed, dont worry about the married guy who sits behind his pc looking at the hot chicks thread then gets caught by his missus so reports the posts so she duzn't get annoyed... long live the brothel thread, bring back the lowies thread.

i noticed that dc2 complained about having a blog in first place aaron. he said that if people wanted to blog to go use twitter etc.

but then wyn said the blog here is for people who use this site alot ie. dc2. so why can't he treat this blog like twitter. u told him if u wanted to twitter to go use twitter. but he chose to blog his twitter thoughts here, which was the whole idea of this blog.

[chunky]

so what kind of sexually explicit material are we talking about?
pics? or just text?

[spastic]

take a look at tais blog chunky

its purely text.

cmon guys..
what tai said was nothing, he was just having a joke around
and as stated before i have seen the same and perhaps worse come from moderators
and i know wyn is just going to read this and say 'oh heres that f@ggot chunky again, wasting our time, he doesnt know shit about how our mods work and how hard they work and all voluntarily etc' and i know you do wyn, but i do, im not just making shit to waste your time, but seriously if the blog was contained such explicit sexual material for tai to get banned, why hasnt it been deleted?

As above. Kazam has just been banned for a month due to his threats.

We aren't tolerating threats like this anymore any attempts to spam or create a following will result in a permanent ban for those users.

you guys do target a few people and him a little bit

We don't target people.....we just pay more attention to posts by 'you' and I don't blame either myself or the other mods for this given the threats made by kazam. If you care to join this 'movement' of kazam's then I won't hesitate to ban you permanently either. That is not a threat.....it's a statement.

Anyways, discussion is OVER regarding this. Any attempts to spam the forum or create a movement of any kind will have all those involved banned permanently.

i said nothing of this so called movement

contradictory?
and im assuming youre directing that 'statement' to anyone else thinking about joining this movement

alright as you said, discussion over

[spastic]

hi win,

for the 4th time.

what is considered 'spam in a blog', you seem to love to skip around and answer everything else except that question, which was asked by showgun and krogoth and myself.

and how much can one blog until it is considered as spam.

A blog is a daily online log. It is not meant to be a substitute to MSN or the spam thread.

[aaronng]

i noticed that dc2 complained about having a blog in first place aaron. he said that if people wanted to blog to go use twitter etc.

but then wyn said the blog here is for people who use this site alot ie. dc2. so why can't he treat this blog like twitter. u told him if u wanted to twitter to go use twitter. but he chose to blog his twitter thoughts here, which was the whole idea of this blog.
Would you post about a tiny asian chick screaming mommy on twitter? That was what dc2dc2dc2 did and received an infraction for.

[chunky]

who said it was daily?
Blog (web log): a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies

[krogoth]

oh so he posted a link to this pornography?

then fair enough he copped a 10 point infraction

i must have missed this link, lol sif post that, what a nub

i thought it was just reference..........but if it was a link then infraction deserved

[chunky]

i believe there was no link
just talking about it

[spastic]

as above. tai so no pr0n links just text description.

Yes, and what dc2dc2dc2 posted was neither of the two, unless you consider porn a hobby (which isn't).

[spastic]

but it was his thoughts on something petronas sent him.

[spastic]

Cheers Jason. We try to keep an open mind and get member feedback however seems we're too tolerant now.



As above. Kazam has just been banned for a month due to his threats.

We aren't tolerating threats like this anymore any attempts to spam or create a following will result in a permanent ban for those users.



Couldn't have said it better myself.



I've deleted the adult/pornographic content so you can't see it anymore (and no I'm not posting it up here but Aaron did mention what it was).

Hi Wyn,

don't you think that by banning kazam for a month, and taking 'this movement' business so seriously is a bit extreme? kazam been a member for 4 years, he has had 'ozhonda 4 lyfe, the movement' in his sig for the past 3 years, if he wanted to make what you have assumed to be some sort of Nazi regime where the forum are jews he would have done it along time ago? and a 23point infraction for 'threats' is ludicrous, can't ban people then start warning them about the punishment 2 their wrong doing..... besides, if you would search his posts, to realise, he hasn't actually spammed anything wrong in the past week, and definently not since he "threatened" you and the forum, I think that a simple pm or possibly just a 10point infraction would have sufficed, a one month banned was just you trying to be a hero, had nothing to do with the well being of the forum, the sooner you start admitting that the sooner we can all get along and enjoy the forum like we used to.

[Twincam16]

You be the judge. I just clicked a few blogs and came up with probably the clearest differences between a real blog, and a spam blog.

Real Blog (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/blog.php?b=75) vs Spam (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/blog.php?b=82)

Put it in perspective...

Say you were chief of police, and somebody threatened to blow up your car with you in it, would you sit on your arse?

[spastic]

twincam u single out dc2s blog

look at the other blog entries...

there is plenty of random crap. its not all quality like petronas.

and

this is an internet forum, it should be exempt from comparing to real life situation.. what is the worst that can happen here? a moderator has to spend an extra 20minutes of his / her time deleting a few posts.... how can you compare that to blowing up a car?

[chunky]

isnt that kind of dramatic?
no lives are at risk here

[spastic]

chunky, u are still young, soon like wynode you will realise howmuch power an internet forum can give you, in real life wynode is probly a office desk type of person with no social standing with very limited friends, BUT ON HERE wynode is the 'boss' as he so cutely puts it, he can push people around, get people in trouble for rules he hasn't announced yet, force the moderators 2 pretend 2 like him! god it gets me a boner just thinking about it......

[joyride]

wynode could have no social skills and so could you and me; but his reasoning for his actions isnt done without the discussion and consent of the whole moderator team.

[spastic]

Having met a few members of the moderating team, I highly doubt they would agree to something like this, unless they are good at being 2faced. If it was the decision of the general moderating team, kazam and cracker both would have been banned months ago when they started their ozhonda 4 lyfe movement... it would not have been until now that wynode got worried someone may blow up his car.. In the end, there is no point arguing this sort of a matter, wynode is a very blind sighted moderator, and I guess sometimes that is what you need as a moderator to be strict and harsh with your decisios, banning people will achive nothing, after a month both tai and kazam will return, and they will come straight back into this thread, and wynode willl have more on his plate 2 deal with than previously, he causes his own problems by power tripping, as previously mentioned, a simple PM or even infraction (one that did not result in a ban) would have been suffice, and im sure wynode and kazam/tai would have had a chance to get their message through via pm.... ozhonda moderators should learn people respect them and the forum more when leniency is shown, and not when they try to gain respect by banning and trying to 'scare' forum members, gotta remember we 20, not 6, we aren't afraid of the boogey man.

[joyride]

you still have to remember that we do not ban members outright (except in extreme circumstances). if anyone has been banned its because they have repeatedly abused forum rules. the ban is sort of like a chill-out period. 1 month ban isnt as bad as being permabanned. they have the chance to come back and set things right.
i dont believe wynode is on a power trip. if you want to see power trip, go to OT.com and see what they're like over there. the moderators hold days where people can vote to ban people just for laughs. dont believe me? ask YF or chicken8.
we have rules here not just for the members but for the moderators/admin too.

[Twincam16]

ozhonda moderators should learn people respect them and the forum more when leniency is shown, and not when they try to gain respect by banning and trying to 'scare' forum members, gotta remember we 20, not 6, we aren't afraid of the boogey man.

Firstly, respect is given those who respect others. OzHonda is a privelage, not a right, and this isnt a free forum, if people want to screw around on this forum, they dont need to be here and they wont recieve any respect from other members or mods.

Secondly, how many infractions do you expect before things start getting a bit more harsh... you think anybody is going to learn from just another infraction?

I am yet to give out a single infraction myself, ive sent messages countless times to a few key members who consistantly do the wrong thing, yet now why should I bother, when a few people are going to ignore it and take advantage of it time after time. Remember, the same mods have always been here, certain members are the difference between how things have been now and in the past.

Hi,

please personally review kazam's ban, and his past history on the forum (recently) and clarify if YOU belive his 1month ban was justified. can even discuss this via pm, as I pass it on to him on MSN.

[Twincam16]

Spastic, there is no need. Once again, it was more than justified - he directly threatened an OH admin as well as a threat to the runnings of a forum

Doing that on any other forum would have landed him a permanant IP ban.

What unannounced rules? THREATS ARE NOT TOLERATED AT ALL! Real life, internet life, your life with your gf, doesn't matter where you are, if you threaten someone, you're gone.

Then call me two faced. We take threats very seriously. Go and re-read Kazam's post and imagine that he was saying that to you in your workplace/home. Respect is a two-way street. Kazam gets no respect (what is there to respect? He threatened someone. Respect is EARNED, not given) seeing that he has ZERO respect for the administrator of this forum

I replied to Kazam's threatening post telling him not to do it as it would get him banned. His response was: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2377548&postcount=56. If you can assume all that stuff about Wynode from nothing, then I can assume that Kazam was not about to back down from his threat based on his post.

[joyride]

agreed. i wasnt online the past few days to see the situation but i did read kazams post about him directing his frustration at wynode. his choice of words would be a IPban in my eyes.

lol this is not even worth passing onto kazam.... you guys have really lost the plot, u are all a little.... "how do you say... ahh.. paranoid" (Scarface). watchout guys, the movement comin 2 getchyah lol ban people for their actions not for their threats. goodluck, i am sure kazams one month off will turn you guys into the most popular / successful spam-free forum on the earth. "ozhonda 4 lyfe". nufsaid from me, no point wasting time with you guys, kazam will be back he'll have his say then.

[spastic]

to twincam

u do realise every blog on ozhonda is not like petronas, if you take a look at ur big bosses blog, one of them simply says something along the lines of 'hi just got back from dinner, got so much catching up to do on forums'

would u deem that as useless blog? that is sort of like twittering. so is it ok for us ave. joe members to blog things along those lines? as long ias its not offensive? am i allowed to blog, 'so i just fed the dog, i think his really hungry today he ate heaps' or will i get infracted/banned coz u guys see that as spam.

If you are back on the topic of the blog, as long as it is not sexually explicit and does not promote illegal activity, then you'll be alright.

[e240]

I'm starting to Blog! LOL...

[Twincam16]

am i allowed to blog, 'so i just fed the dog, i think his really hungry today he ate heaps' or will i get infracted/banned coz u guys see that as spam.

No, what you just posted would be classified as a blog as you are refferring to an event which is typical for a blog

"Hi, im Black Stan" would be classified as spam.

[spastic]

ok so i can blog like wyn and not get infracted, cool.
so there is not limit to how much i can blog a day as long as there is an event of somesort in the blog?

How old are you really? Presuming what my social skills and abilities has nothing to do with running a website and forum. I'm not going to even bother trying to justify your comments.


I'm starting to Blog! LOL...

A little too late unfortunately!

Given the lack of use of the blog we have decided to remove the blog feature.

For the genuine users of it this is unfortunate however this is the way things have turned out.

As for your threats of kazam & dc2x3 coming back and 'starting things up again' we will ban them and all people associated with their actions. You've had enough warnings and don't need that kind of immature and disruptive attitude on here.

Threads closed & blog removed.
