I am technically a newbie really. I'm only 27 and have had my Perentie for near 4 months and its my first Land Rover. First thing I did before I picked up my truck was read every single thread on here and REMLR regarding the Perenties, and bought the buyers guide.

Now I'm not immune from asking stupid questions, but this guy seems to be going out of his way to dig up threads with posts that are in essence, spam. And of course ask continuous stupid questions.

The mods really need to look at ALL his posts and threads instead of telling us "grumpy old farts" off for commenting on his posts.

EXACTLY. BadCo I couldn't agree more


OK some people may be offended by my comment(s). If anyone here is offended I apologise. The intention was not to offend but to stop the spam.

Am I offended by spam? probably not, Does it ruin threads? You bet, does it **** me off? Yes particularly when the spammer has been told before and still persists.

Pete and others, I thought it was a bit much. I'm all for a bit of personal abuse but, what I read, I thought was just nasty.
I'm sure others would have wanted infractions given but I thought just delete what I didn't like and tell everyone to be nice. Was I wrong? Should I give infractions? I don't think so.
You want to go on about it, PM me. Keep this sort of **** out of the threads.

I find both your constant whining about him far more annoying than his posts...

Bad Company and Pete Fox. I may be wrong but I believe you can put who ever it is that your having issues with on your ignore list. When that person posts you don't see it. Problem solved and everyone is happy. Except the guy who posts and no one ever sees it because everyone eventually puts him on there ignore (naughty list) list.


Merry Christmas everyone!

As originator of this thread, my intention was simply to provide some useful feedback from an extensive bush test of my Perentie. I am somewhat ****ed off to see that almost 2/3rds of the thread has now highjacked by a brawl about spamming.

I can see some value in both sides of the arguments raised which I would happily discuss in a thread entitled, say "What constitutes spamming on the site and what should be done about it?". I don't want to wade through all this crap if I'm searching for a trip report.

Using the ignore list still leaves all the replies intact without showing what has caused them, which is just as big a nuisance. I suggest that, rather than deleting posts, all the relevant ones should be extracted and reassigned to a new thread where they can be argued at length and searched for in their own right. There are obviously enough strong opinions around to make this a valuable exercise.

Tracca
Don't worry about it.
Some of us (including me) got huge value from your post
Thanks for posting it and please do so again after your next trip
Regards
Phil
