i agree with the posts here regarding claymore as a mod......
seriously this guy has issues....who decided to make him a mod anyway?

Doesnt make sense to put someone in as a moderator who has completely opposing values to the general demographic on this site (i.e. age etc.), this has been made blatantly clear by his attitude as a member on the site. And then to put him in charge of the lounge? where most exposure to member's non-Honda related views/thoughts/feelings/day to day lives are exposed is like setting a time bomb... dunno what you guys were thinking?

He's better off in the technical forum where at least some of his wisdom will be useful, and his "my shit smells like roses" attitude wont matter as much, as long as he can take feedback and be a "leader" as moderator to help people see right from wrong... kind of like an Aaronng figure, who has a ridiculously broad range of knowledge, but doesn't make you feel like an idiot for asking questions or incorrect assertions... but then maybe this is why you guys put him in the lounge? so he doesn't affect the real reason for Ozhonda? rather delivering his wrath in an irrelevant part of the site? i dont know...

Anyway, will be interesting to see what happens to the site as a result of this...

The talk to strangers thread was fine until the end when Wynode and Claymore's names were used to promote gay sex. When that happened, the thread had to be closed.

cant you just delete the posts, and continue the thread, like the PICS that make you lol, if there is a bad post, you didnt close the whole thread, you just deleted the post.

The majority of infractions in the spam thread were related to personal attacks on other members. Those posts were reported and hence action was taken. I would like to remind everyone that eventhough the spam thread is like a "safe haven" for spam, it still falls under the terms and conditions of the forum. As below, members agree not to threaten, abuse or offend each other, and that also applies in the spam thread.

General posting conditions (for all sections of the forum)

Members who submit posts are solely responsible for their own posts, and agree not to include any content that:

(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;

For those complaining that previously, members were not infracted for their offences in the spam thread, there are two reasons for that. Firstly was because we tried to be more lenient and let members do sort of what they wanted. As a result of that, we get rubbish like brothel threads and fighting in the forums. Hence the reason for more mods and enforcement of the infractions.

Secondly, the number of active mods was low, hence some members were complaining that mods were not performing their duties. For us, Ozhonda is not our job. We volunteer to help keep the forum in line. A result of that, there have been times where we were laxed, especially in going through the spam thread which grows at a rate of a few pages each day!

Although there will be many complaints about Ozhonda becoming more strict, but this is a step that we have to take for now as this forum's image is becoming sort of a joke when you bring up the Ozhonda name on JDMST or CRSX. I've said it a few times before, that Ozhonda is not meant to be a general forum where you can talk about anything under the sun and post up ridiculous shit. Ozhonda is meant to be a forum where any simple or noob Honda question can be asked without being flamed like on Hondatech.

Each mod has a different way of dealing with threads. That thread could have been cleaned up or could have been closed/deleted. Both ways are correct and that is the action that the Lounge mod decided to take.
