The art of Chip Tuning.

[BrightonBreezy]

It got hidden so here it is. This morning I asked one of the mods who claimed to be impartial to remove the personal abuse posts as they didn't contribute to the discussion.

Been a...
...busy evening on here!

Warned Evil Edna formally via PM:

----------------------------------
Evening! Been a lively one on the Forum, eh.

I have to give you a formal warning for contravening Forum rules - not to abuse other members. "F*ck you" to BB is not on, I'm afraid. On the other hand, "Viking bastard" - I assume is a friendly comment - he certainly didn't complain, so I'm ignoring it.

Thanks for your support of the forum and the mods, please do not take this PM the wrong way, I am just following the rules that we have laid down.

Cheers.


Alastair
----------------------------------

Oh, and that stupid thread is locked for now at least.

Sleep time.

Lmao, many many thanks Al. I just thought what the hell, open it and let ppl say what they really think, it worked, BB was abliterated lol.

Evil edna deserved the warning, but how funny is it to read pmsl.

Perhaps we should link to the end of that thread all of the recent rica/vt bashing thread links, see how one sided we look then.

Its a conspiracy from t5d5, they are out to defame us and vt, they have tried already with hamish and failed, blewis wrote to the head of ferodo re the exclusive pads hamish designed and sells, blewis found the other part number for the old pads, that actually fit a vw amongst other, and said, see told ya so, you can buy them here. However Hamish does have exclusive rights to the ones he sells, the part number blewis put up dont fit the Volvo's.

BB is just thier non reprimanded gofer, he has been pushed forward as he has no history of this and tried to stir. All he has done so far is look stupid. The text thats been written seems very similar to blewis.LS.
Anyway, he aint upset me thats for sure, its been quite fun if not predictable.

Rules he has broken are 2 x hijack of sale threads incase you havent read it all.

They have been digging at the VOC to. Like i said the way to the top is not to discredit your competitors, as sooner or later you will be sussed

Will ring Volvo again today and see if there is news on the legal issues

Get ya teeth into this Tomcat

BB pmed me about it:

----------------------------
Alistair,
Would you consider removing the personal abuse posts in the "How independent is VPCUK?" thread.
They don't add to any sensible discussion and will only serve to discourage others from speaking their mind if they think they're just going to be subject to torrent of personal abuse for doing so.
thanks,
Robb

Have to say I'm not inclined to remove F U C K A L L from that thread.

Comments please

It seems that personal abuse for speaking out is officially condoned now.

That thread will get hidden soon so I've saved it.

I think they made that thread mods only cant see it

[MissDMeanor]

That really is shocking

One thing I have noticed over the years is that they tend to accuse others of exactly what they do themselves.

Good luck all

[BrightonBreezy]

Now I seem to have had my posting rights quietly revoked. Not banned as such - I can still log in and see messages but I can't post or see PM's.
Oh, well. So much for free speech.

Funny thing is, I really don't have any agenda or association with t5d5 as Justin thinks (paranoia?) - I just wanted to test if the claimed impartiality was real or fake.
I guess now we know for sure.

[S60-MBS]

Brighton breezy the link you posted was to a mods section of vpcuk..well clicking on it has got me IP blocked..

OOPS! Now its going to get interesting...

[Al115]

Any questions about my impartiality, feel free to contact me privately - always happy to discuss. Like many of us, my car goes to SW Autos, and I've bought bits from Kalmar Union and VT... it's such a small world.

Any questions about my attitude towards people who sh*t-stir across the various Forums that contribute to our very small Volvo community, feel free to get in touch as well, but I might have less time for that debate.

Thanks all.

[PNuT]

im not alowed to cross link over the net...

paul said so

Alistair,
I don't question your personal impartiality regarding certain commercial interests. VPCUK's impartiality is another matter.

What you did was to agree with the other moderators to condone abuse of members who ask uncomfortable questions. Even to the point of denying that you had ever received a request from me to keep the discussion civil.
That undermines your credibility.

I would love to have this discussion on VPCUK, rather than VOC, but that just doesn't seem to be possible.

Robb

No, that generalises the situation. This was a specific case.
