For Sale Forum - Moderation

[madgrk]

Jon, evidently I read about 80% of what wing said, and as much as I do agree with it, I really feel that things should just be put aside so we can all move on. There is much more to this forum than just complaining when things aren't done properly. Wing has a very valid point, if you're going to scrutineer someone, do it to everybody.

On the same token, people saying "I didnt say this" "Did I ever say that?" is just a blatent waste of time wouldnt you agree?

Of course I have my opinion, and my opinion is that Wing has/had a right to post his car seats, regardless if they were Subaru, Ford, Holden, or Honda. Its a seat and it can fit into a Honda. But I also won't deny that Wynode did hold a valid point in noting that you require the engineers certificate. But guys, if you're going to start noting these things out, you need to be stern and note it out to everyone selling aftermarket seats etc. Otherwise stuff like this will continue to happen.

This is an internet community and I wouldnt expect everyone to like what everyone says/does. But if we can all at least love each other over this, then the meets would be much less hostile

Lets all do as Andy the pornstar does and have a Corona

I agree, 100%, with what Wing has just said. He has stated the facts with no malice, and the points he has brought up should really be questioned.
...
This thread shouldn't be locked or shunted away. The rest of interested forumers should be able to have their say. IMO, in no way is Wing being an idiot or being disrespectful. This thread is actually going somewhere.

Could not have said it any better

[wynode]

Wing,

List here (please don't start up an arguement) what you do not like and what you liked changed and I will look into it.

wyn, to cut it short, and i dont want to get into an argument over this, cos i still have caronas to drink:

he finds it unfair that u made the comment about legality in his thread, whereas the legality of most of the other items for sale are also illegal/require engineers but u dont see u reply that so in the post. Im not blaming u or anything, but he does have a point that to be fair and consistent, if ur going to reply like that to his thread, it should be done to everyones.

the seats are something i have a personal opinion on, but really, any seat can be made to fit any other seat so its not really an issue of its place being for sale.

having said all that, wing u gotta chill out abit. the point that u ahve raised are valid, but they are doing all the moderation for free bud, and they also pay for webspace etc, this service is free to u... so just chill out, dont take it to heart, and relax. everyone makes a mistake, now can u buy me a carona?

*shrug*
only three comments -of highly dubious value- that i can add to the discussion, are that:

a) a miscellaineous "for sale" section may well have prevented all the recent unpleasantness.

b) people really shouldn't argue with the site owner. sticking the toe into the mods is fine. the owner however, is something else entirely.
this site is presented to us at the expense of of certain people's time and presumably, money. I believe that the forum owner really shouldn't have to justify themselves beyond saying that something is the way they want it. forums don't have to be democratic, although it is in the interest of the health of the forum that the forum owner listens to the members. given that the owner did take the time to respond and appears to have listened, there isn't too much more that can be said on the issue.

and

c) i don't think we could reasonably expect the owner or admins to check every single new thread and post apearing throughout the various sections of the forum. let's put it this way- wing's posts -that i've read- have all been well thought out, articulate and informative. i doubt that the admin team would have singled him out of the crowd to pick on his threads. by the same token, i can understand wing's frustration on the issue.
i guess we'll have a "fair" situation when we are all pissed off with the outcome

I will wait for vti-2's reply.

[Rowie]

I think the point has been made on both parties, and wynode has made it quite clear.

[wynode]

he finds it unfair that u made the comment about legality in his thread...

Wing, like I said I did not mean to single you out with my comment.

Well joneblaze will be responsible for the marketplace from now on.......so consistency should be improved from now on (in regards to moderating the Marketplace).

[wynode]

I will wait for vti-2's reply.

Is this between you and vti-2 or do you have something constructive to say in order to improve the forum? Because if its just between you two then I suggest you do it in private.

I'm waiting for a response from you in regards to this my Q above:

Wing,

List here (please don't start up an arguement) what you do not like and what you liked changed and I will look into it.
