Rude Poms thread

[Panda]

What happened to the above thread? And come to think of it "Who's going to own up" thread.

[Mick-Kelly]

Last time i noticed it the moderators were looking at wiping it. A damn fine move in my opinion.

[Panda]

Well it's now evening, what's the decision?

[Outlaw]

Will be advised when one's made.

[Panda]

Okay, thanks.

[Slunnie]

Hopefully it'll be trashed.

[Panda]

I was hoping to read it all to make an informed decision, unfortunately I don't get time to read all posts through.

What's your opinion as to why it should be trashed?

Hey Panda,
In my eyes the thread celebrated antagonism & wasn't bringing out the best in people. I'm not for that.

[timaus13]

We are all here to promote Land Rovers, 4x4ing in general, trip reports and so on, friendship and help are surely the basis of this forum u guys do not need the extra burdon of reading this sort of content as i think it is not worth the effort.
just my opinion.:D
PS keep up the good work.

happy to put a name to my opinion:D;)

It reflects poorly on this forum
It reflects poorly on that forum
It did nothing to better anything
It did nothing to better anyone
It induced disharmony amongst users of both forums and within forums in what was an otherwise harmonious environment.

There's no need to foster any more hate in the world is there. It starts with just something little here, and then some more there and then its accepted, and then its the norm and then its rife. I've been around long enough to see it happen "just like that". We already saw the start of a witch hunt, and so long live Macarthyism.... not

I guess really the question is... why should AULRO pay good money to host such a thread? I don't believe out of interest is a good enough reason... well, it wouldn't be for me.

I second that

[p38arover]

Sorry if it offends anyone but I took the action as I felt it was not the sort of thread on here on or LZ with which the majority of us would like.

The last thing I wanted was a forum war.

I think that the LZ site has just a few who stirred the pot and that most would not be in agreement with their actions either. Oddly enough, what I've read there reminds me of the 4WD Monthly forum members.... :o

:)

I could have nuked the threads but instead I moved them to an area visible only to Mods - at that time of night I was the only Mod on-line. Thus far, no Mods have disagreed with my actions.

I'm sorry that it took me so long to act but working 11pm-7am shifts this week sort of puts me out of sync with the site.

[kaa45]

Well done, Ron:coplight:

that may well be true, but at least the banter remained on LandyZone - Land Rover Forum (http://www.landyzone.co.uk) .......... you may have noticed that this forum didnt get lots of new members crossing over to here from LZ with the specific intension of creating trouble

[EchiDna]

and when the original threads are long gone, I recommend binning this one too - it just gives a record of the whole unsavoury incident.

Well said Tim.
Bin it Ron.

i'd just like to say thanks to the mods over at LandyZone - Land Rover Forum (http://www.landyzone.co.uk) who resisted the temptation to ban the numerous offenders from AULRO

i'd also like to welcome all members of AULRO over to LandyZone - Land Rover Forum (http://www.landyzone.co.uk) if you ever fancy a virtual holiday

[Sean]

apart from yourself of course? :nazilock:

i was polite, honest and open and made some very valid points

not once did i swear or resort to personal abuse

please feel free to illustrate your point with some examples of how i have created trouble on this forum ?

feel free to PM me with the details if you so wish

[kaa45]

here we go again.....:bat:

Say as you will, though your pm comment came as an edit after my post. We both know that.

For the sake of forum harmony, best we let this one slip to the side lines IMO.

Apology - Land Rover Zone (http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f37/apology-56538.html)

fair play to him for having the balls to do that, there's a few others that might like to follow suit

[tony]

I just gotta say this...

if you don't like it don't open the thred....

I for one was amused, Ron I understand why you pulled it don't agree but understand (because you can)

To all of you that commented with the likes of good on yer didn't wont to read that anyway etc etc

READ THE SECOND LINE OF THIS POST


if it offended you so much WHY read it

Maby its because I'm a POM at hart but I was'nt ofended, was'nt upset it was just like a

Wait for it


"Almost anything goes, have a look and drop in a few lines. Think of it as a campfire chat"

At no time was any one singled out there were no racist comments no sexest comments

I am at a loss why you all got so upset.....

[Phil633]

Well done, Ron:coplight:

Agree, Well done Ron.

Sean, Welcome to the Forum.

[Sean]

Agree, Well done Ron.

Sean, Welcome to the Forum.

cheers :twobeers:

[Panda]

What the hell did Sean do wrong? You seem to be the lot to antagonise & create trouble. Perhaps you should take a closer look at yourselves & get a life. If you're so upset about this thread, why the hell don't you read something that interests you instead of constantly coming back to the thread & being derogatory towards some poor bastard:mad:

I simply wanted the opportunity (which was denied) to read the post in full to make up my own mind. Be interesting to know how you people manage to sustain normal relationships in the real world.

If that's your answer, certainly goes a long way to explain the downfall of children & the "younger" generation.

[Outlaw]

Okay I am personally getting sick and tired of the childish behavior happening on here and what happened in LZ.

I advise to let this matter drop and to grow up some of you.

Truly disgusted.

[Panda]

And I advise you to stop reading the thread.

There, that's easy, isn't it?

just what are you disgusted with, I take it if your disgusted I must be

too ??? again i must say again how amusing I find all this, its no wonder

the Establishment is able to pass so many idiotic laws , if you don't like it

don't read it or is that too simple a solution

Tony

[Sean]

"Almost anything goes" but excluding banter

[incisor]

no, you dont have to be disgusted too

BUT

you do need to follow this forums and the other forums guidelines.

this site operates with in a G rating, like it or lump it tony, that is the rating at which the majority wish this place to run at, me included.

what was cross quoted was outside that rating so was removed....

that doesnt mean that i or the other mods support a lot of the politically correct crap that is sometimes intertwined and dressed up as being necessary to maintain this rating level.

we have had this discussion before mate, vulgarity has nothing to do with political correctness. it could have been done without the vulgarity, and would have been more pointed if it had been IMHO.

[EchiDna]

is it a full moon or what?

*looks outside*....

nope...

[incisor]

"Almost anything goes" but excluding banter

nothing better to do with yourself mate than promote yours on mine ?

you need something a little better than a garish banner to help if your that bored you need to spend time stirring **** here ;)

[Sean]

"yours" and "mine" ?

both forums are free and open, neither are "owned"

stop being so defensive, please do come and have a read over at LandyZone - Land Rover Forum (http://www.landyzone.co.uk) you might learn something about land rovers (which is why i intend to keep visiting AULRO)

you may also pick up a few pointers as to how to run a relaxed forum :p

wrong on all counts... all are owned - as for your continual spam, it just continually denegrates what valuble info might be held within the pages of LZ... off you go home and report back to base (again) the goings on over here...

run a whois for yourself, LZ is owned by a Mr RC Westwood - obviously not you is it... because otherwise you might know someone pays (and owns) the URL

[rovercare]

Inc, I fully agree as I said somewhere in the deleted post there was no need for the bad language ...but nowhere in this thread has there been any foul language, of any sort, I think the Aussie spirit and the larakin nature of the typical Aussie of 15-20 years ago has well an truly gone from todays society, (an this coming from a Pom) and I'm sorry to say so what if outlaws disgusted with this thread

I don't know if your referring to the deleted threads when you say

"we have had this discussion before mate, vulgarity has nothing to do with political correctness. it could have been done without the vulgarity, and would have been more pointed if it had been IMHO"

but I was not as I said in my first post in this thread "don't agree but understand"

But I've had enough' redback wont answer my question, I'll never know who wont own up to doing the wrong thing Oh well life goes on...a thousand years from now when these waves reach the little green men in outer space it'll give them a good laugh:arms::arms:

I'm off to bed now :o
sleep tight all you wound up people its a brad new day tomorrow:angel:

[EchiDna]

Bitchy:eek:
but true :)

when someone boasts about sucking people in (myself included) i get offended - I shouldn't, but that's the bottom of my gin glass speaking....

as for our mate, well it's still only just after lunchtime for him...

[rovercare]

To much seriousness and heartfelt for an internet forum from you blokes:confused:

Hey Sean, is their another thread aside from the apology one on your forum regarding this?

Read the anythign goes bit, seems like the same few dribbling, some pommy slang I can;t work out:p

i doubt if there is another thread, but if you've seen the dribbling slang yer deffo on the right forum :p

[Panda]

And why are you still reading the thread?? Go & read something more to your liking.



way to go... offering advice to admins now... *sigh*

can I vote again to bin this thread too?

[Panda]

I apologise Outlaw, didn't notice you were an Admin.

Therefore, it would be somewhat difficult for you to ignore the threads, as that is afterall, your job on this forum.

However, I am still not impressed on the whole, the posts were there one minute, & gone the next, & this is certainly not the first time this has happened. Akin to receiving half a letter in the mail, with no return address to respond.

Reiterating, I wanted the opportunity to read the posts in their entirety to make an informed decision & now am unable to do so. If the posts are so "offensive" and "sensitive" to so many people, why do they read them? (excluding the people on authority such as yourself), and why can't they be moved to an area specifically for that purpose. Wasn't there a "mud pit" section? Why can't there be a similar section for these occasions?

My suspicion is that people, despite their constant whingeing, like to read the posts, unless of course, they are so addicted they are unable to divert their attention to what they would find more beneficial to their purpose.

Unfortunately for some like myself, working 16 hours day, & unlike so many others on this forum, who seem to be able to spend a large portion of the working life on the forum (God only knows how they manage to actually get any work done, and no wonder the Asians are way on top economically compared with the Europeans, most especially Australia) on top of all the other duties such as cooking, washing cleaning, looking after animals, etc, etc, etc, I don't immediately have the time to peruse in full. It's a case of posting here & there with the view to when I have the time to go back & reread any relevant posts, or posts I have missed.

From memory, as the so called "sensitive" and "offensive" thread have disappeared, I don't recall any offensive language etc, from anyone posting on this forum regarding the said thread. I could be wrong, but now dont' have the opportunity to check.

I opine most people on this forum are unable to carry through a discussion. It's a fact of life that no-one is going to agree with everyone, that's the nature of the psychology of human beings, very disturbing however, that people find it necessary to "destroy the evidence" leaving the participants in the discussion hanging so to speak, so no further interaction can take place.

Whilst I don't agree with a lot of the posts on these threads, denying people the option to read & contribute, if they wish to, in my opinion is extremely childish, and yet another trend in the demise & breakdown of society's integration.
