I find it hard to believe that anything Tim said could have been worse than some of the unmoderated comments and flames that have posted on FC...IMHO... Oh yah...Happy Birthday Solly! | ||

Rob, to answer your questions without breaching Tim's confidence, (as previously stated), he was banned for unprovocated, unnecessary flamming- in which he put me in an awkward position... It sucks that it turned out this way, we were pretty good friends, we went to parties together, rode up to Lime Rock together and he even slept at my house... Shame. | ||

Oh my, funny funny. Like I've said before, out of over 100,000 messages posted I've only deleted one and that was a Ferrari wreck pic with body parts everywhere but on the torso. The first user I deleted was that Bill, not because I really needed to, but because he personally ticked me off and I have the admin account, so I abu..., I mean used it.  From experience on other boards the self regulation and peer pressure not to get out of line is working so far. I do get requests every week or so to moderate more, but over time I think people start to see the positive results of our approach. | ||

He goes to a highschool 15 minutes from where i went to highschool, so technically we werent highschool friends or whatever, but i guess we were friends. I've knwn him for a few months, hung out with him a few times and went to some events with him. things came up though. Theres no point in discussing this banning or anything else here because 1.)we're hijacking this thread, 2.) this is not the place for it and 3.) there is no 3. | ||

In one of my posts i simply stated that someone (who will go unnamed) is unable to drive a car equipped with a manual transmission. I didnt just make this up either, its a fact. This statement directly contradicted statements made by that individual where he has claimed to have driven cars have a manual transmission. This compromised his credibility. I was banned for "unnecessary flaming". The maturity level there is equivlent to that of a 4th grade classroom, only they use words and terms that i hope most 4th graders dont know. As bret has stated, the moderation on that board reminds me of the third riech. | ||

Go onto www.exoticcarforums.com, you have to make up a name to sign on in order to read, and then start going through the threads about being banned, etc. Some of the comments are hysterical. The first time I read through this stuff I was laughing so hard my eyes were tearing. I don't really know the story behind being banned, but it seems to me that all the moderation kind of feeds the fire. By controlling everything posted, etc it just gets encouraged more and makes people more resentful. It makes me think that the approach FC has taken to censorship really has proven to be the correct one. | ||
