The situation is very much like the 5km/h over the speed tolerance rubbish. It all sounds good at first glance but the reality is keeping within the rules 100% of the time is pretty well impossible if you want to actually help people etc.
A motoring board on an auction site where its against the rules to link to specific auctions to discuss/critique is pretty stupid at best.
Of course most then ignore the rules but then leave themselves open to being banned should anyone decide to be petty (mods or other posters).

Naa - it wouldn't be Fish. He hi-jacks mellisa's account, so maybe she got canned from another MB!

It's worse in the Computer section with us trying to keep ppl online & getting banned for offering help

Just got a TM warning for a comment made in jest on the "key left on ACC overnight" thread. Self moderationtakes on a new meaning when disgruntled members take to voting with the enthusiasm of a vexatious litigant!

Nope. Just searched all posts for the account for the last year, all in motoring.

Can you tell us in code what you said!! Seriously, I'm curious, just cause I've said some pretty border line stuff and have never even been warned.

Sadly yes it does. And With All Due Respect to (fish) melissa2000 He essentialy would have been a target to someone who appears to search for such targets when the world is not going quite their way. Fish had a tendencey to be a realist-and his language reflected that. While he posted in code-nonetheless- a 4 age toyota and a 4 ar.kapeesh.

Bit rough talking about a mate like that. Anyway, how does anyone find out & know who complains & gets someone banned!

You are aware johnboy , that you are an extremely disliked poster.
Or does your delusional sense of self importance cloud the fact!

Well that just sucks.There's members that come and go.Poke a bit of shit and have a bit of fun and then disappear.And then there's members who have been here for a few years and have something useful to contribute. Fish was one of those guys.If it was the Trade Me nazi's.,sorry, moderators whohad him banned.SHAME ON YOU!Totally unnecessary.If it was a fellow (and I use the word loosely) message board member then you deserve everything you get.Merry Christmas Fish!
