can a moderator help please..

Hey Aaron, thanks for the reply. It is much appreciated.

I didn't say the delete of spam was over the top, I AGREE with you that he did what he was supposed to do in deleting spam out of the posts.
But the initial delete of the thread itself was OTT. The first 10replies in this thread all agree it was OTT, and you can see he reopened it in agreeance.

He even admitted himself his blow up in the WTB thread as "arguable", and he even stated the deletion of my intial FS thread is "questionable". Yes, mods are hear to learn, we all learn new things as people each day, but try learning in a non-expletive manner. Im sure this discussion thread has shown other moderators that the way they talk to one person online can greatly affect many others indirectly, and it will.

His justification to me being infracted for spamming is fair, i accept responsibility for my own actions, but why only me that was infracted ? again, personal issues with me taken out online using moderating powers.

Clearly he has a personal issue with me, and chooses to take it out online. I have confronted Qball many times in the past off ozhonda and all he has to say is "If you dont like how i do things then see some one else". That is where i turn to Benjammin and Wynode.

The initial comment from me in the WTB thread MAY to someone people, seem like i was being a smartass, but it only provides some sort of explanation for the newcomer.
Newcomers are here to learn, and they'll only learn from mistakes which he has made. But it doesnt help when another member regardless of Mod status starts running his mouth like he owns the place.

It's funny you mention toleration levels. I do agree that some moderators have different tolerance levels, and maybe it can be discussed between moderators to have a set guidelines for you guys to follow.

Do moderators get infractions from other moderators?

I could say the same as EG5,
i met zico thru ozhonda, and he took me to my first ozhonda meet back in 2005.
and since then, ive always asked him whats best and whats what for honda's, he has always contributed to a thread with quality and useful information post.
& atm his helping me with my build, without zico i wouldnt even be doing this, with his help to source parts and others, zico is a one of the best user's on this based honda forum.

and to the "plenty of sale in the last few months" quote from wynode i back up zico also, i dont see any rules or guidelines, where on how much we can sell in a "Month" and so what if the people dont pay, just to post on the forum sale.
as it stated in the rules or whatever " you must CONTRIBUTE to the forums and be A MEMBER " nor it says " have to pay to sell in the forum " and zico has been a member and CONTRIBUTED alot since he first joined, so i would say he does have the privileged to sell as much as he want, from his hard worked from helping the forum.

Bring back Zicos for sale thread FFS!

**rawr** · 10-04-2009 11:20 AM

I'm thinking it's a bit unfair that his thread got closed! Zco's really helpful and it's a bit unfair that mods can tell users in general to "fock off" but recieve no flak for it, but if a user does it he receives some kind of consequence!

**jdm_kid** · 10-04-2009 11:25 AM

Some of the moderators are just lazy. seriously, i asked a simple request and what they do? they muck around and make me look silly. if you want to chase it up Wynode, im happy to provide you the thread, and you can look and what has be altered and all.

Zco is member who contributes to the forum ffs look how many pq blocks he has, like how often do you see that on the forum? very little. he has the right to sell any honda related parts, he should be treated like any other member, why should you stop him from doing something that everyone else can?

Without members like Zco, this forum would be blam as. seriously his one of the members that shows real quality parts in the show off parts pic thread.

i would blame Zco if he got angry, some of the moderators have an attitude problem - http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107986

are we expect to have the same knowledge and smartness of a modertator? we are all different u know

most of us are more polite than the mods, welps it really shows on the forum

**SPL_K** · 10-04-2009 11:49 AM

Yeh Zco is one of the more known members of OzH who is simply willing to help people without asking for anything in return. There are plenty of users on this forum that doesn't appreciate the resources supplied but they're still allowed to roam these forums freely with no infractions on them.

And there are so many of these "hoons" at OzH meets that non of the rules posted in the meet section are even reinforced. We know who these "hoons" are but nothing is even done, they're not even banned from the forum. Honestly, EVERY OZHONDA meet there has been idiots breaking the rules and nothing has been done about it.

Why even bother having rules? People break them on a more serious level and nothing is done. But there's plenty to be done over bitching and bickering on the forum.

yep i can back all of these members up when they say zico has helped out heaps. he helped me plan sydney trip advising me where to go and how to get there. and hasnt had anything to gain from it at all, so i would assume he should be treated like everyone else if not more respected.

E-riots!

Some good points on both sides - I speak on belhaf of all mods that some times "We" need a kick in the ass with our editing and posting in general. We ARE human the same as YOU lot. Myself definitley included.

Problem is , it is always in situations like this (world vs nazi mods) that the trolls in people come out of the woodwork and search for examples of our bad work - post a link but never bother to point it out before.

Regardless of how much zco helped out people off this forum , his thread was shut down otherwise because it breached our terms and conditions. Zco gets no special treatment compared to any other member to noob alike.
