Moderator standards??? re: St May exhaust sale thread locked???

Benjamin. Find something useful to do with your life. Being a petty admin on ozhonda gains you NO cred/respect, nor are you doing honda community here any favours what-so-ever.

Why did you delete pornstars post on the thread? He has told you in no uncertain terms Type One owns the thing. And so have I.

For all the mods reading this:
Is there a standard in place which prevents ego/power crazed moderators from ruining these forums?!

**bennjamin** · 10-03-2005 10:43 AM

Being a petty admin on ozhonda dosent get me laid at night.
Its a freelance moderation job , that 95% of users here take seriously and abide by the rules.

So what is your point ? Do you feel unfairly treated ? Anyone can see - that both yourself , and Pornstar breached our terms and conditions. You are apparently having something sold on behalf of yourself - while pornstar posted a unrelated post in the thread - I await a PM from the orignal creator , no other user can justify what he/she is selling or why etc.

I still have not recieved a reply from Type one himself- the original creator of the thread , and i await a PM for them.

Take a hint - its not personal mate.
I feel disappointed in your approach to your "unfair ruling" when it is you who undoubtley broke the rules.

My advice is , take it on the chin - learn and get over it

**vtir22** · 10-03-2005 10:58 AM

Broke what rules? Which part of past owner, current owner do you not understand? Of course if you left pornstars post on, people could see that.

Breaching terms and conditions ok... hmmm so why were you posting on the thread if you weren't interested in the item?

Advice? I have some for you too. Do something useful with your life and make your parents happy..

You are wasting your keystrokes chasing your desire - which i am unsure of. It has been stated what you have done wrong. Everyone else here is happy at our time and effort , and will agree with my opinion based on the facts, NOT feeling like your own.

BTW , for all to see - why have you taken this to a personal level ? Immaturity in the greatest form . So , what EXACTLY should i do useful , to make my parents happy ?
My mother is DEAD and my father is a womanising arsehole.
I think taking care of and taking crap from whining members like yourself is a positive step , dont you think ?

Regards , Ben

Yes , it is bullshit. the mask of the internet does wonders for peoples confidence.

In recognition for all members, himself and others are entitled a say. Ill leave this open...but keep replies on topic guys.

imo i could see the discrepancy about 'that' thread but having a go at ben is weak.

ben is my fav munchkin

i think u should relax a bit and hear both sides of the story before you lock/delete and BAN the thread creator for something YOU think they breach, in which they DIDNT.

I locked the inital thread due to confusion - i did not get a straight answer and other users input did not help.
Locking , enables a thread to stall while the problem is worked out - its called moderation.

The users - Type one , vtir22 and Pornstar breached the terms and conditions - selling on behalf ( seemingly, now cleared up) and unrelated replies.

My effort as a moderator is to clear up this mess , which i have. Really it is simple as that.

Anything else people ? This is what site discussion is all about.

**z3lda** · 10-03-2005 11:53 AM

i was talking about my thread, which was simialr to this situation where u deleted and banned me before asking me anything,

i know its ur job, but you should atleast hear the other party

*edit*

I found the old thread - you were openly selling CTR parts on behalf of another member, Bowzer. ( or vice versa)
I PM'd that user - no help availible - so it was against our terms and conditions too. Nothing wrong with that judgement ! I did PM yourself and WARN you - NOT "ban" ?!?

**z3lda** · 10-03-2005 12:04 PM

thats a million and one ppl u've banned LOLOl! poor buggars.

that mess was all cleared up. at the time i wanted to drive down to syd to give u a piece of my mind LOL. but not anymore

imo i think u should realy consult the other party before del/lock/ban before going to drastic measures
