Geez havent been online for few days and this is wat has happened...

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...including Calvo's acceptance of what Geoff is doing.

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.

I posted this thread with regards to OzHonda, wat Geoff said had nothing to do with me, sure i condoned wat he done, but thats coz i kno Geoffs personality and im used to his pisstaking behaviour. Some ppl just dont have the humility to see the humour behind some users comments.

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.

Old school represent.

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!

As above.

Also so everyone knows, we will be reviewing the moderator guidelines and also re-asesssing who has the right to ban users and any other issues that have been brought up here.

I think everything has been covered in this thread and it will be left open for a little bit longer.

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.

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.

I think the mistake made was in fact a mistake and shouldn't be too quickly categorised as a representation of the current state of the site.


Sure, the forums aren't the same as they used to be, but then again our member base was pretty small back in the days. I'm an 'old schooler' too and have seen numerous forum changes and variations in post quality etc but we have implemented systems to help combat poor quality posts (the PQ system) for the forums (such as Model and Tech related) so that we can keep a tighter lid on the information being posted. Not only that but the Moderator team has in fact grown considerably and this is primarily due to the fact that the member numbers have grown so exponentially in such a short time. 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.
