Here's my take on this JINRAE pussy.
He's the type of weak prick that when he's with a bunch of blokes he mouths off at someone, f.ucks off and hides in the shithouse and leaves the fighting to all the other blokes. Comes back after all the fightings done and two weeks later brags about how he fixed them blokes up.
Hey Calvo, this threads doin alright mate. Over 40 replys and it's still open. Must be a record for these blokes.
Is there any need for that sort of reponse? Replies like that will get it closed, completelty pointless

I find it intersting that as a mod. on another forum you find it acceptable to come onto other boards just to infuriate the situation (and yes muzz I have read the thread on ozaccord and according to our site T&C's you are not allowed to have more than one account).Quote:

The whole point behind my posts is letting the Mods know that they're not f.ucking bulletproof. The peasants have the power but if they are too piss weak to stand up for themselves they deserve everything they get. If us peasants have to abide by the rules, so do the Mods, other wise the joint gets run like a NSW Government Bureaucracy, full of self serving Nazi's. If they ban my arse or close the threads, so be it, that's their choice, but it will just prove my point and there are plenty other ways for me to get my view across. Thank you and good night. Peace be with you.:angel:
-SMD-
MAR10 but Zdster quoted Sukmeidik... not you!.... anywaiz this thing has gotten out of hand and its old now... so get over it everyone... im sure the mods will deal with JINRAI...
I am not saying agreeing with sukmeidik is "infuriating" the situation, rather signing up yesterday just to provoke the situation is infuriating what is taking place. Amazing . . .Quote:

The problem isnt with the moderators of this site and I am not saying this was Murats fault, because it wasn't. Its the amount of immature newcomers that come on this site, start their bullshiit threads or put in two sentences of crap when they have no fcuken idea what they are talking about.
Edit: its funny the amount of noobs callin this site crap, youse dont even have a clue
once again u speak of my opinion to be 'provocative'. if ur speaking on behalf of your fellow 'mods', you would be called a hypocrite. I think rather than trying to answer what everyone is complaining about, perhaps you should DO something about it. I find it disgusting how you cannot accept one's opinion, isn't that what the forums are all about?Quote:

what a joke...
I see. So it would be completly acceptable to say sign up to OzAccord, spend 10 seconds looking at posts and determine that the site is a waste of time. I think most would agree that that is 'provocative' - "that is a joke".Quote:

That amazes me.
well when you just signed up, only have 3 posts, all of them flaming ozhonda then YESQuote:

it's time for you all to chill the f*ck out. the issue with jinrai is being delt with so there is no need to continue flaming him or other mods
move on, post responsibly and there shouldnt be any problems should there? :)

And FYI, I never labelled this site as a waste of time, I just felt it was disrespectful to attack me because I agreed with somebody else's opinion. Why blow things out of proportion for?
ffs. he didnt attack you. he quoted that "suckme dick guy's" post.
if ozhonda had no lounge, then the traffic at this site would decrease by 90%
the only ppl that would use ozhonda would be the ppl that wanna learn a few things about honda's and find/give/ask for help.
Without the social interaction provided through web forums, then you may as well have a searchable database with articals, case studies and technical information on honda.
Like when a noob posts a question and gets flamed becuase he could of just searched. But if someone just quickley send him in the correct direction thats all that is needed, asking questions and getting answers is the basis of trust and what builds friendships.
Maybe a noob is looking for more than just technical help, but also for people he can trust and socialise with who have simular interests, something that isn't possible through a searchable database.
I dunno, I geuss what im trying to say is that JINRAR is a hypocrit and VTEC_JET wishes he was a mod.
Constructive criticismQuote:
Originally Posted by Zdster

Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. In collaborative work, this kind of criticism is often a valuable tool in raising and maintaining performance standards.
Because of the overuse of negative, nagging criticism, some people become defensive even when receiving constructive criticism given in a spirit of good will. Constructive criticism is more likely to be accepted if the criticism is focused on the recipient's work or behavior. That is, personality issues must be avoided as much as is possible. Critical thinking can help identify relevant issues to focus on.
Especially sensitive individuals may adopt a passive, defeated attitude if they view a situation as personal, pervasive, or permanent (see learned helplessness). Others may adopt an aggressive response. In an online forum lacking face-to-face contact, constructive criticism can be easily misinterpreted and online exchanges often spiral out of control, becoming flamewars. Effective interpersonal communication skills can be helpful to assess the recipient's frame of mind. During initial exchanges or when encountering defensive individuals, effective criticism calls for softer language and inclusion of positive comments. When the recipient strongly identifies with contentious areas (such as politics or religion), non-offensive criticism becomes challenging.
On the other hand, stronger language can sometimes break through a defensive shell. Further, many people (both as providers and even recipients of criticism) appreciate a blunt style. They see bluntness as honest and efficient while viewing softer approaches as manipulative, condescending, tedious, or confining. Often, such people view stronger exchanges as lively and engaging.
Adopting the most effective style of criticism should be tempered by the cultural context, the recipient's personality, and nature of the relationship between provider and recipient. To assess a situation, one should put out exploratory feelers and initially adopt a perceptive rather than judgmental attitude; conflict resolution skills can be helpful.
As a recipient of criticism, one can benefit by focusing on the constructive elements of the criticism and by attributing charitable interpretations to those who use strong language. By adopting an open attitude to criticism, one can achieve greater personal growth and help uncover blind spots. Alternatively, such openness may be subjected to ridicule especially in a cynical or honor-based culture.
So how is banning people for offering "Constructive Criticism" beneficial for this community.
They were expressing their "Bluntness" with "Stronger language" which is within the criteria of Constructive Criticism, which you say you welcome.???
Not really worth mentioning - but I think you will find this is incorrect (ie that provocation is irrelevant in a murder trial). Provocation is a relevant sentencing consideration and in some states it can be a partial defence to a murder charge.Quote:

If you are not happy with this site you can leave. It is as simple as that. Don't ruin it for people who want to stay.
Mate, that is the exact attitude that is ruining it here.Quote:

From what I've seen some of the lesser Mods here are doing a perfect job at ruining it themselves by having this Nazi Attitude, and that's the WHOLE POINT to this thread.
Maybe it's time Wyn cleaned out the Mod closet???
This is a thread on "Site Discussion". What's Good for it, What's Bad for it.
You can't have one set of rules for members and another set of rules for the Mods.
The two spammers have been banned for expressing Free Speech within the confines of Constructive Criticism and also sticking up for an initial OZHONDA member, who invited them here.
Remember who prompted all this, I don't see the Mod being banned.
I suppose you are going to assert your "authority" again and I'm going to get banned because I had the balls to speak out against you.
Mate, being a pill won't gain respect.
BTW: Everyone is Welcome to come over to OZACCORD and have an open opinion without fear of banning.
So what happened to Jinrai???
There is no such thing as "free speech" in Australia. There is also no such thing as "free speech" on Ozhonda. There are rules that need to be followed. If you guys want to run ozaccord with no rules and "free speech" - that is great for you. Lets see how you go when you have 9000+ members (vs 66 members) all speaking at once.Quote:

So are you sukmeidik (strange how you have the same IP address unique to only you and sukmedik) - and the mod F22-GURU on ozaccord? Isn't this what you said on ozaccord? F22-Guru sounds strangely so much like you (and F22-Guru confirmed he is sukmeidik):
link
It is also a remarkable coincidence that the moderator on Ozaccord - F22-Guru and you - Gen46L - share exactly the same birthday August 9, 1963.
Perhaps you might have "the balls" (to use your vernacular) to honestly confirm or deny it is you. Sounds like your "recruitment" drive has started - as you put in that ozaccord thread.
A true man like Geoff (F22-Guru) would disclose any vested interests don't you think before posting in this thread? You are here to recruit members for your forum. End of story. So disclose your interests before flaming this site further.
And that's exactly why I'm on the recruitment drive. To let people know there is a site where there is Free Speech. Of course there are rules to be followed but why enforce them like a bunch of power tripping Nazi's. The way you Mod this site we eventually will have 9000+ members - All banned from here. ;)Quote:

And I achieved what I set out to do.
Considering you weak arse bastards banned SUKMEIDIK I went to my next option, signing in as GEN46L as that was my original user-name here at OZHonda. Like I said there's plenty of ways around it. So now you can show your True Colours and ban GEN46L and the IP Address as well. But I will get around that too.:cool:Quote:

I am entirely happy to leave your post as it is. It speaks volumes about you - and gives everyone the facts as to what you have been doing here. False accounts, deliberately creating dissent to get people to move onto your forum ozaccord. Pathetic really. This whole thread sounds like a sham you created.
I am not going to descend into your weak vernacular by name calling. I can hold a conversation without calling the other person a "weak prick". Is that how you plan to moderate Ozaccord - is that how you will speak to the members? You take the high moral ground about the quality of moderators on Ozhonda - yet look at what you have admitted to as an active moderator on Ozaccord?
Good luck with your forum - it sounds very professional by the colour used in your post (as gen4L). What you wrote as user sukmeidik in this thread also speaks volumes about your quality as a moderator on ozaccord. Talk about killing any credibility ozaccord may have hoped to gain by creating this thread.
You know the old saying "any advertising is good advertising" - well not in your case trying to promote ozaccord. It all somehow backfired on you. :wave:
Lol....
Let me make one thing completely clear, this thread was NOT created by ozaccord and was not created to destabilise ozhonda as you have inferred. It was created by a long-time Ozhonda member who was expressing concerns about the actions of an Ozhonda moderator.Quote:

Calvo - the person who raised this - doesn't exactly have clean hands either. He has clearly stirred Geoff along on ozaccord. When Geoff started up the false accounts and posting up his crap - what did Calvo say on ozaccord?
LOL!! Geoff u funny bastard! absolutely gold! Yeah, ***in someone needs to say sumfin and i guess im sick of it. Also the fact that i kno Win and Ben well, so im not really worried bout them ***in nazi mods banning me...
Whilst I have never said Jinrai did the right thing - at least he has the courage to admit his mistake. That says more to me than some of the other things I have seen in the aftermath - including Calvo's acceptance of what Geoff is doing.
This is just amusing now...
Yes, i've read your thread over at Ozaccord, and i'm speechless. It's funny how you've gone and givin crap to Ozhonda, a free forum for our members, for this... and lovin yourselves for it.
Come, go... we don't care. If u like it here, stay. If you don't, go back to your own forum and whine about anyone and everyone u can.
We no longer need to justify anything. We've seen wot JINRAI has done, and will deal with it. Anymore abusive language and i'm gonna ban ya (as per T+C). And if u take the time and effort to re-sign, i'll ban ya again (as per T+C). Oh, and if you're trying to voice some genuine opinions and constructive criticisms, i don't care, u broke OUR rules. This is a free country, this is a free forum... but we have rules too. And our rules are here to try to accommodate for everyone... and if it doesn't suit u, cya around.
At the end of the day, there are haters everywhere...
So much back stabbin taking place...my god!! :o

Seriously, if everyone acted like mature adults about this, it woulda started and ended in peace. We mods here are always open to constructive criticism, but deliberately coming here to say "Ozhonda sucks now, it used to be good" is just sad... so damn sad.
you have GOT 2 be JOKING!!!!! after all that blabering on we all now can see the STUPIDITY from the "haterz" ....why waste your time spamming ozhonda for ??? LMAO at :
i should make my own forum "aushonda.com.au"
i am a member of both ozhonda and ozaccord , i waz looking forward 2 this ozaccord forum but seeing as how most members have acted i think i'm gona be fine right here :D
EK9 and yfin....just a HUGE credit 2 you's for looking after us members here aka "QueerbaLL and me" hahahaha
but seriously well handled and Zdster.... your a SLYYYY mo fo !! hahah
like most ppl have been saying get over it .. wat was done is done .. and it wasnt a major issue to blow out of proportian and take it to A Current Affair ... :s

To be fair on Calvo, that comment there was made in respect to Geoff's first comment, which was not on the same lines as later replies (in that it was simply criticising Jinrai, without the rest of the sh*t that has happened since).
Did he admit his mistake? All i saw from him was an attempt at justifying his behaviour (unless i have missed a post of his through this thread.Quote:

As for GEN46L I think you have given Ozaccord a bad name and brought into this thread issues that doesn't belong here. There will be some changes in the way moderators work here however there is no need to create a divide between Ozhonda and Ozaccord. I know Sam personally and will be speaking to him about all of this so keep Ozaccord and it's 'recruitment' out of this.
I'm keeping this thread open so that people can reply ONLY if it is related to the first post, so don't say you haven't been warned.
man i only just realised this thread was here, when i saw that thread (the one bout TRMN8A) i was pissed off to be honest, that a mod got on his high horse and sunk down to a level which i didnt expect from them, and i pmed him about it to talk to him about it and guess what, after my second reply he didnt pm me back, and my pm's were very civil so meh..........all respect lost for JINRAI on my behalf
but yeh, i say u take JINRAI off as a mod IMO, just as murat was taken off the forums for a week....
nobbs, thanks for your input...we'll let wyn and the rest of the mods decide
the reason i didn't reply to your PM is because you were repeating yourself just like the rest on this thread...i have stated if it was my mistake as a new mod to ban someone because of the use of explicit language in public, then i have indicated very clearly between the mods to unban him, etc. and i will accept it because im not perfect...its not a very big deal and i see nothing positive coming from all the post on this thread...a concern has been brought up and discussed, thats fair and i accept that but there is no need for name calling, bashing, etc.
i am leaving it to wyn and the rest of the mods to decide
Thanks for the reply Alex.
Everyone makes mistakes and I haven't had any complaints against JINRAI in the past so 'booting him out' is not going to be a solution. We will update you all on the outcome so till then be patient please.
I cannot be bothered to structure an intelligent response to this whole farsce except to say that this "mistake" probably best represents the current state of this site - and in fact the state the site has been in for the better part of the last year.
As an original ozhonda community member, it has been pretty sad to watch this site move in the direction it has.
How many previous threads have been created by other members (yes including moderators) regarding the passing, or sale of their previous honda vehicle, to something else? For a mod to judge the thread created by another original ozhonda member, attack his personality and character, provoke a response not once, but twice using explicit, and then ban the member for "abusing" another member is just plain rediculous.
I personally DO see an UNban ASWELL as an apology neccessary. The moderator cleary provoked the user, as well as personally attacked him, harrassed him and abused him.
Learn some respect.
mate you just contradicted yourself there. The cop thing was used only as an example of how sometimes cops abused their powers which perfectly fits this situation. That was my opinion so preferably please dont refer to it as dribble.Quote:

Although I don't agree with wat the mod did, taking away his mod status isnt the way to do. Two wrong don't make a right. I think its a better idea to review how every mod should behave and not let their mod status get to their head (regardless if it was a joke or not).
Basically its true, really there is no such thing as freedom of speech anywhere in this world. We're all binded by rules to make things work otherwise it'll things will just become chaotic. Personally I dont enjoy the strictness of the site, but that won't stop me from visiting it. Guess its a small price to pay for free information.
*sigh*.... POS site's gone downhill since I left as mod ;)
Abit concerning when I get 6 links to this thread ROFL.
Old school represent.
This is YOUR house. :)
The ban has been lifted. Contacted TRMN8A to inform him of the mistake made by me. If anyone knows him personally please pass him the msg as well. Thanks!
i will
Thanks 2MPRSS...appreciate it
Geez havent been online for few days and this is wat has happened...
U've got to be kiddin me mate. If u havent got the intelligence to realise that OzAccord is a more social community, in that we like to have a bit of fun and socialise aswell as talk about our Accords, then ur just an ignorant person who really cant contribute anything more to this topic. Im quite dissapointed in that response by u Yfin, as ive always thought u were better than that, and regarded u as one of the more responsible and more intelligent members/mods... i guess i thought wrong.Quote:

Its funny that all the ppl who kno me on this site, esp the old skool ones, agree with me. Ive been loyal to OzHonda, and always inform ppl of this place, even if i dont kno them. If u think i posted this thread just to create an opportunity to promote another forum, then ur just an idiot who i have no regard for, and please do not post anymore in this thread, i dont want to hear ur stupid comments.

DO NOT bring up any other issues here. if there is something you're not happy about make a new thread.
Can't you jst close it Wyn la??
I think its been covered to death already, and leaving it open imo will jst cause more sparks to fly.
Lets try and smother this fire thats burning within the OH community now and try and move forward from ere.

As with anything, there are 'growing pains' associated with a forum that grows so quickly and one of them is the addition of more Moderators with less time to integrate them (and train them properly).
I think this site/forum has done extremely well considering the circumstances. There is still some work to do, such as implementing a better 'training' ground for our new Mods. However, IMHO, considering OH's size, we have done well.
All this aside, this recent issue will be looked at and we'll look at better ways to educate new Mods that join the team.
This thread will stay locked, i just wanted to add my reply to your comment above as i think you too quickly classed this recent mistake as a wider OH problem. I'm not having a go at you, so don't take this personally or the wrong way. I just think the Mod team need to be given more credit for the work (and hours) they put into this forum.
As always, all of your feedback is welcome so if you guys have any other issues you want to highlight, please start a new thread.
cheers.:)
