I agree it is a shame that somebody's thread has decended into an arguement but there are reasons behind it.

It is also a shame that we have members on this forum who continue to be dishonest and do whatever they can just to make money with little or no regard for the forum members.
I entered into the argument because it had descended into complete choas and mud slinging. It really is an embarrassment. Youre ****ed off with me as a result but you have to see this from a new members perspective. We dont know the background info on what has happened but the arguments kick off on new members threads so what the hell are we to think.

I purely got involved because I wanted all to see what this forum looks like to people like me. At the end of the day i am in the minority that wanted to see the outcome of the original question!!

I can see where you are coming from but new members won't learn anything useful if we allow people spouting rubbish to go unchecked.

Unfortunately the question of remaps is a rather touchy subject.

If you research it properly you will find that some members have lost thousands while having their cars remapped. Would you want us to sit back and allow new members to go down the same routes?

And just so that we get a broad spectrum of opinion, what would the other mods feelings be on that idea, given that they would require to police the thing?

Good or bad, having a lot of the contentious issues, under the one roof, as it were?

Not at all. Can leave you to it that way and new members, as have pointed out, don't have to endure it either.

Would be ideal as it would perhaps save you from being banned from any more forums.
