eh?
i dont know where you get the idea that i dont give a damn what i post,you clearly have totally misread what i posted. someone said they didnt want children reading sites that had bad language on them and such,i said then they should take responsibility for ensuring that their child does not read such forums..just as you would make sure your child doesnt cross a busy road without looking,no more no less. if a forum is known to contain a lot of 'adult' humour and the odd offensive word then care should be taken by the parent to decide if they want their child to read said forum. i swear like anyone in real life,i dont swear on forums so you might want to rethink how you see me as tho i dont give a damn what i post. im a mature adult of 45 with my own kids..i dont let my kids view adult/porno,if they did it would be my fault for not policing them, not the place they viewed it. i think the world is big enough for all the forums out there,if you dont like a forum then just dont visit it,pretty simple really. dave |

I can honestly say i've never banned anyone - apart from Spammers & the "people" who linger on the site emailing & messaging people with advertising rubbish - to be honest i know a lot of the success is because everyone knows their place & they get told if they break the rules & what rules they have broken, members don't just get told off or banned without knowing why. OK posts may get edited but the original poster is always notified or offending words may get *'d out but the moderators name appears on the post if it has been edited - sometimes "offensive" threads get removed into a special area (which is basically a hidden area that only the website staff have access to) where the mods/admins will hold a discussion to decide what action to take, usually posts are edited by the mods & the thread goes back into the main site once all the offenders have been told the outcome. It's amazing how people respect the rules of a forum if they have done wrong & know themselves why it is wrong, rather than just been kicked off or having their posts removed without warning or notification even if they should already know why their posts have been removed. |

[QUOTE=SlowOne;360211]There are a lot of reasons the TC and 12th guys don't come on here. Here's one that encapsulates the many...
I race TC and come on here I also want to be free to post links pictures and video, share as much good info and stuff as possible to better the understanding of RC to the masses. I dont want to be bullied by moderators who are posting answers to every single post made even when they dont know what they are talking about. Therefore confusing the racers who are seeking some knowledge. I dont want to pay to personally promote our hobby. I want to be free to share a laugh with some fellow racers and join in with freindly banter without being accused of breaking the rules. Thats why OOple has my vote as number one Forum. I will use race chat from time to time as i do many forums. Race chat has its place and is quite useful for many issues. but i dont see a thread on there with loads of people complaining about any other forum with dozens of banned members with similar stories. I am sure some bannings are deserved. Some guys on this thread have gone a bit OTT and i would not behave the same. that is their choice in venting some frustration. Jimmy needs some money to keep the forum going but he does not run it as a business to make money. ( i dont think ) I have nothing against Rob i have never met him he runs the forum how he wants. but you have to expect to upset a few people if you ban or suspend them wheter it is warranted or not. |

Similar has already been brought up by Neil Burdess. At NNRC we had a charity event for Cancer Research as our old Chairman died of cancer. Rob the Knob refused to let us promote it!!!
My ban has been lifted, but i will never go back on raceshat, and I never want to see him EVER!! |

I do a lot of work for charity & usually people are very forthcoming to help where charity is concerned. I know some people have to be "businesslike" & keep a corporate head on their shoulders but 99% of people will always set that aside to help a charity, if not with the finances but time & support in other ways if asked - especially so if it's to help the family of someone who is deceased! I know sometimes people can take advantage of charitable people - expecting them to give freebies or free publicity etc all the time & people may well hold an event for charity simply to gain some credibility & self promotion for other means so i suppose Rob is in some way trying to show he's not one of them who won't sit & let people walk all over him, but even so as i said in one of my other comments on this thread, we all are supposed to be involved in this sport together as a unit & as many people will say RC people are friendly as a whole & will always help those who are struggling or need help - certainly at the trackside. I'd like to think if i organised an RC event for charity i'd get some support from the industry - if not financial backing at least in terms of acknowledge the event by promotion & recognition to get the word out to A) the interested fundraisers & b) the participants plus the media & as the forums represent a part of the media i would hope to get some support. |

Imho, it also looked like Rob was trying to show up Oople with the way he links to this post and not the home page in his first post - until a further post trying to explain, so pot kettle black on the "immature" bit... If Rob genuinely wanted to link to Oople, he would have posted an Oople home page link and no other link (this one!). For a longterm user of racechat (that slowly became less and less, and more just occasional browsing), I didn't feel it was worth staying. I don't like taking sides, but I do know the difference between right and wrong. I'll agree on one thing though... its toy cars, and grown up blokes/lasses chatting!! |

never mind Kev.
This is the problem with the internet age... anyone can be "big & tough" behind a computer screen & keyboard, in real life though however it's usually a different story & often with forums especially how a statement is written it's hard to put over how you intend the thread to "sound" to the reader. |

Zeebra, its each to their own. There are certain people who'll never listen or repeatedly ask the same question although it was answered - such a Bmag, Vinny, and so if you recognise them its best to never post in reply to them - and so never fuelling their ignorance/stupidity then they go away. Or throw them a curve-ball (i.e. tongue in cheek bullshit).... but one thing for sure, don't let it get to you.

another forum worth including in this thread... i got informed of a 2 week ban off there for mentioning the "M" word in a thread.
M as in "Mosque" in what was a tongue in cheek reply to what was by all accounts a fun thread & then i get branded as being a "racist"! PC really has gone mad! |

I lost interest in a "certain website" a long time ago to be honest, and do not have a favourite website as such... Despite the tosh posted on said "certain website".
Racing and chatting to good people is where all the fun is Ps, name of website edited out purely to prevent anyone getting offended and throwing their toys out their pram |

Nice to see RocketRob (Robbie) chiming in on things that once again have sweet fuck all to do with him. (RCRaceChat post under username Robbie)
One day you will realise that he is a vindictive SOB who causes all sorts of troubles.
