Questions that I (and other forum members) want answered:
While I see that baby steps are (now) being taken to keep the forum clean(er) by banning members, why some and not all?
Inflammatory posts were done by others besides digitalhippie. rysskii3 has also been guilty of several inflammatory posts and libel. Yet he is not banned. In an im he sent to me (where I remained courteous and he obviously does not) he states his reason for his defense of Eurojet; “ I can care less what u say or think! Ur just another punk on this forum. They have been good to me, giving good discounts, free parts…. So I’m gonna back them up!” He has attacked relationships and made up non-existent fights. (Please see the #1 forum rule listed at the end of this post).
Eurojet has also acted in a non professional manner with no perceived disciplinary action. Why? Businesses need to refrain from sinking beneath a certain level. Behavior like this is why I never do business with them.
Second, since you moderators have inserted yourselves as referees into the Eurojet discharge/throttle body pipes, what would you consider a reasonable amount of time for them to provide the data they said they would?
It cannot be that they are given an infinite period of time to provide this data supporting their claim while keeping the nay-sayers at bay. That would be grossly unfair to those banned. Give them a time frame to post data backing their claims. If they don't, ban 'em for selling vaporware.
Perception is reality and my perception at this moment is that because digitalhippie was banned from the Vortex, he is being railroaded as an undesirable. More libel on him is being flung in the suspension forum without any of you moderators editing it or setting the record straight.
See: http://www.golfmk5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36998 He’s been accused of having temper tantrums, fighting with Eurojet, unsafe practices(???), falsifying claims, global warming, rising mortgage rates . . . Well you get the picture.
Since he's banned, no one cares, right?
Who has done more for the forums in terms of help, diy’s etc. The self proclaimed ‘VeeDub KING’ or digitalhippie?
Who has done all of the work on their car and helped out several of us with pcv fixes, fuel pump upgrades, water meth add-ons, 26+ Mk5 suspensions, vag-com logs anytime, brake diy’s, intercooler install, led install . . . . etc.
Why is one banned and the other one not?
I do not wish to be contacted privately by the moderators. This is a public forum, so answer us. A moderator response stating “we do not discuss specifics about why someone is banned, but sufficient to say, he violated the forum rules” does not cut it for me.
Rules are specific. If a specific public rule was violated, then an automatic ban should be given with the specific rule violation listed. It does not need to be decided by committee. Discipline all or none. Your half-hearted moderation does not sit well with myself and several other forum members.
I will respond to rational im’s if sent. If the rule below is violated I will report it.
The #1 rule according to the code of conduct is:
Trolling, flaming, and bashing are not acceptable at golfmkv.com. Trolling includes, but is not limited to posting controversial messages with the intention of baiting other users into an argumentative response. Flaming includes, but is not limited to insulting and hostile interaction between users. Bashing, likewise, is also not permitted. All communications are to remain on a respectful and mature level. Do not retaliate to an inappropriate post with another inappropriate post. Instead use the "Report post to moderator" button, or simply PM your moderators if such an instance should arise.
Have a good night all, I’ll step off my soapbox now.
