Does anyone else hate this forum? Mostly because of the moderators?

I personally believe the members of this site are harassed more then need be by the moderators. Some of there comments are inappropriate and thoughtless. I also find that many strings that are just getting interesting and have relevant information are closed.

Just recently I posted information regarding wheels and than while searching for further information in google found an american distributor that sells them for a great price. I have a few mates on this site who, like myself are keen on these rims and in my thread asked if anyone else was interested if they could PM me. Group buys I am aware are not allowed, which I think is ridiculous, but no other trader on this site has these wheels and I have asked several of them. So as far as I am concerned I was causing no one harm but only a benefit to the member of this site. It is also very difficult to find these wheels. Anyway then comes the moderator who of course adds his power trippin comment to the tread and closes it.

Tip for the moderators: If you continue to condemn and ridicule every single post you will loose members. If you loose members less people will shop in the traders section. If this happens you will loose your traders. This can't be good for business.

I frequently visit the traders section, and intend to make use of it as I modify my car. I do find it useful. I have modded my previous civic and a ton of money went into a h22a conversion and many other mods. And I intend to do similar mods to my next car.

Unfortunately I do not appreciate bad customer service and arrogance. And as far as I am aware I am the customer here and this is a site I refuse to visit in it's current state.

Please do not close this thread moderators, instead let your members provide feedback so as you may be able to improve the way this site is managed in the future.

i personally neva had any issue with mods and admin... we have over 5000 member in here... without rules... its gonna be a mess.... plus OH is a place for us honda fans to share interest... not to buy parts mainly.... so really u r not treated as a customer... u r only a customer in the eye's of traders not the forum itself...
just my 2cents

Somethings need to be closed and some may not, but it's hard for me to say without an example... maybe you should post a link to the thread you're speaking of?

I have seen some threads that were closed for a reason beyond my knowledge of the T&Cs, but if you're actually posting a thread to complain about it give us an example please...

You make some good points kenshin i can only help you with the comment regarding group buys. Ozhonda has taken a position on such activities, as i see it they have, in the bigger picture, created an environment which is less prone to people getting ripped of for what ever reason. Ozhonda has also set up a marketplace to allow for people that have paid a fee to sell goods. By allowing members to have group buys they are in many respects biting the hand that feeds them.

If we are here many to share information than what I posted should not have been closed. There are members on here who would love to get their hands on these rims. Your 2 cents don't really count when you were the person who closed my thread in the first place.

To put it nicely - follow the rules and you will not feel harrassed.

If you don't like the rules - start up your own forum and see how you go trying to run it.

man i was just spamming man.... i m not even a mod... i did not and do not have access to lock ur thread. i have as much access as u

**|N|** · 02-09-2005 10:55 PM

and the reason taht i said **LOCK** is becoz i ve been here long enf and i know how this whole thing operates.... lockin it ll still allow members to search for it... info is still there..... and as we have so many threads created each day. its takin up alot of space... i m not tryin to have a go at u or anything.. but this is just how OH works...

Yes I agree with you here. However how hard you try people will always get ripped off. Group buys are at the individuals own risk and is not the responsibility of ozhonda, so there should not be an issue. I have not been to many forums that do not allow group buys and being that I particularly like this forum I would like to see some benifical changes.

**bennjamin** · 02-09-2005 11:00 PM

you asked and answered your own question. And then hijacked your own thread with a questionable "hook up".

Tip for yourself - read the terms and conditions mate. There will be no group buys on our forum from past expeirence AND protecting YOU as the member.
There is no place for slandering OUR hard work since you are offended from our rules upon sign-up. At no time are you our "customer" - we enforce the rules and put in the hours modding so either follow our terms or dont

Relax and enjoy your stay .
