Could we have more moderating of the F1 area please

That's it? No comment on any of the other posts? Not even Maulaf's??

 

Very Nice.

So let me get this straight… you want us to use the alert /!\,… which I have proven I have been doing. And now you respond with this. You're a class act.

When the mods become trolls…

I'm gone.

 

lol.....

no problem.

 

You're asking the impossible.

There's a whole storyline here....maulaf gave you the best clue I've read so far.

No one can realistically just link to a few posts and form a complete picture.

 

Fair enough.

I don't think I've ever (maybe once?) reported a post. As others have said, always seemed like "snitching" to me..... But, I sure as hell will do so going forward.

FWIW, I don't consider Aircon a troll - He's an Aussie wind-up merchant looking to get a rise out of a few folk, but by his own admission has even backed off on that lately.

Cheers,
Ian

 

Hi El Wayne.

I should have perhaps began with thanking you for actually being in action here and now in an effort to try and help.
I am not accussing him of inaction, it was a general comment. It was in response to his statement that it happened to be him that I quoted.

I am sitting here with beer 1 and a silly CFD simulation that keeps blowing up. If I get that to run before I run out of beer I might go ahead and compile you a couple of select toil specials and Kraftwerk fillets. no promise!!!

 

There is a new sheriff in town.

I hear Morricone's soundtrack in the back.

 

Understood

 

haha... isn't most of the back and forth between two English and two Aussies? Wasn't there history between those countries?

 

I just see toil and co as those football junkies whose team, according to them, is the best of them all and feels the need to constantly tell everyone. The team only loses because either the other team cheated or the umpires acted against them. Additionally, any criticism of the team is taken as a personal insult and is cause for ridicule and abuse from the fans as well as further ridiculous claims, changing history and skewing stats.

What else can you do but laugh and make fun of them? Reporting them won't help. They're delusional and believe what they type.

I still don't have a problem with it if, in turn, I can make fun of them. However if I have to constantly hold my tongue to appease others, then it does become tedious reading.

And just for clarification, making fun of them is never done maliciously.

 

There still is, apparently.... The Ashes

 

Sounds fair enough. Like I said though, one can be very annoying without breaking rules.

Is there a way to see a post count in the F1 section by member? I think that would show the annoying increase in a few people and a drastic decrease in more of the well respected contributors around here. P&R has less nonsense than this place lately. I've only reported a handful of posts one being a holocaust reference with no action taken but a warning. But it's a fesh start now so lets see what happens.

 

........Thank you El Wayne.

 

As my name was mentioned a few times in this thread I want to give my two cents in here as well.

First of all I thank all those who had kind words for me (Aircon, Bas Jaski, fast ian, maulaf and I hope I forgot none) but I do not feel that I need to be defended. If someone thinks that this forum is more enjoyable without my post then it is his good right to have me on ignore, I do not take that personal. He might have his reasons and he does not have to justify them.

If someone thinks that I am part of the problem responding to toil and tesla then I am sorry, this was not my intention. Reflecting the past (especially the recent Hungary race thread) I would blame myself being naive enough to think that toil and friends are actually interested in a discussion and that logic argument might at least be recognized but apparently this is not the case. Some might say posting something to achieve a reaction (like mine) without being interested in an actual discussion might be called "trolling" but obviously the moderators do not (or can not according their rules) share this view.

As toil himself again washed his hands of it and represents himself as a victim of all that it is doubtful that he will change and so it seems that we have to sit it out that a handfull of fanboys have taken over this section. As soon as Mercedes might not support a superior car they might be gone as fast as they came when Mercedes did...

I think I might have learnt a lesson and I will try to follow Ians advice telling me a long time ago: ignore it as good as you can.

Thanks and sorry again

 

Speaking personally, as a fellow F1 enthusiast, I've always enjoyed your posts. I managed to learn things from you that enriched my F1 spectating experience even if you felt the person you may have been quoting at the time didn't take anything on board.

My interpretation was that the frustration some were trying to express was with the limitations of the ignore feature rather than with you personally. I, for one, sincerely hope you will continue to be an avid and valuable contributor.

All the best,
Andrew (as a member, not a mod).

 

Thank you for your many attempts and no need for apologies. Hopefully we'll be back on the road soon.

Peter, some time ago, another menber acused me of trolling and said i should be banned, even if his opinion meant nothing to me, i was deeply offended, so i'm pretty sure you also were, but as many have stated, the people that "make" this section like your posts and value your contribution....El Wayne as spoken, and will have to stand by his decision, and hope as IZZie said that will be back on the road soon enough.
Just one final thing Wayne, the problem with Toil was never a diference of opinion (on this i think we are all very tolerant),but rather a diference of interest, we are here to discuss f.1, he's not.

 

This is a selection based on a quick random search through the board and NOT the tip of the iceberg! I remember some harsher things but it is a bit troublesome to navigate through history...

Wishing bad on other driver

The usual modus operanti. Throw in excuses for Hamilton and bash Rosberg a bit

An entire thread already an insult to a driver in the title

Constant insult in his ‘prediction’ of a race. The *** are edits where it is typically ‘Cheatberg’, ‘Crashberg’ and nastier things

obviously his agenda

response to someone challenging the above. How more evidence for trolling is needed, I don't know.

Definition of troll

That break was very short

Intentions clear again (not that it is an offence, just more evidence of his needs).

Wishing bad luck on other driver as so often

The usual wishing bad on others

Same same

One of his gems

???

What seems to be common cause with all trolls it that they see everything in bases. If one criticizes a driver, one is either a hater of that driver or fanboy of another. This, despite daily reminder of the opposite, toil, his twin and Kraftwerk have not grasped today that it might not be true.

so balanced

Nyom… discredit wherever possible

Huh?

Huh2?

Again, this is a collection of random findings.
I can only recommend going through a thread or two and witness the interaction between toil and the others. There is absolutely no interest in any sort of debate except his public mission statement to convert us.
This is a complement misunderstanding of a discussion forum.

 

Once again: personal insults are ban worthy, driver bashing is not

Rosberg IMHO is a glorified midfielder and Hamilton the real deal. Whether I or toil or anybody else is right or wrong about this is irrelevant as it is my or his opinion. The whole point of a chat site like this is to debate and express your opinion.

You cannot hold it against toil or any user to support his driver and/or criticize another. It is freedom of speech.
