Interesting But the signs are there

If the playground had been deleted, how do you know who have been played...

I wonder why nobody (not even the one who took the decision) has the guts to name the ones for us, the other "children", with the head in the clouds who doesn't have the time to read all the board messages, but want to learn from other "mistakes" in order to not make them ourselves...

Other boards have a "status'o'meter", based on user's activity, near the nick/name of the users that reads like: New user, Level 1, Level 2, Banned, etc...
Just like only three people have on this site: Site Owner, Site Moderator and Site Sponsor.
Maybe if this was active for others it will be more transparent...

OK. I see. Thank you for the explanation.
All in all, human nature...

I'm not evading the question of who was banned, the reasons are more important - and I have stated these - than publicising who was on the receiving end.

It is time to get back on track and move on rather than speculating over what has gone on

Needless to say a good rule of thumb is "Don't make comments about others that you wouldn't like said about you"

My last word on this issue is to congratulate EV for holding his words when strongly provoked Well done

EIGHTH least popular forum member award, 08/09 and now 2010... a CG hat trick !

Cheers CG however I'm not sure what all the provoking was about & why me/my car? Was I the only one at the butt of constant jibes or were others?
I found it difficult to work out whether it was just harmless banter or serious micky taking/insulting though I do remember one thread with a post saying lighten up as was just fun so after that I just ignored any remarks as I took it there was no harm being done.Not sure if I was right or wrong on that theory!!

I must admit I did find it most strange when I first joined the forum & showed enthusiasts?? pictures and info on my FL2 only to be bombarded with rediculous remarks on my choice of colour and accessories. At the end of the day if you join a model related forum (in this case Freelander 2) then one would assume every one was similar minded in as much as we all own the same thing but in a different guise. I could understand if I or others who accessorise their FL2 with nasty tacky bits from a car d.i.y shop etc but all the accessories are genuine manufacturer items or very good after market items specific for that vehicle.
As said in another post I am on 8 MG/Rover/Austin forums and never encountered that before not just on my behalf but any members.
