An enjoyable outing!

Lucero posts a fair bit in the Mobile Phone forum as well, never caueses a single problem.

I don't understand why DRZ has such a strong agenda. Fine he has numerous accounts, but he has clearly proved he isn't the same as he was from 6 years ago!

Discretion can be applied

I don't really have an agenda other than a good old returnee hunt.

Ultimately, I'm just a spokesman for the shadow elite.

I do think that there a gulf of difference between saying you have 300bhp when you really have 295bhp and the sort of stuff that Lucero has posted.

I of course completely agree that "outing" a poster like this is 'sad and pathetic' whilst the actions described in said outing are entirely reasonable and exactly the type of trait we want in members here.

This forum did not tolerate Tom (my thread, btw), it did not tolerate Gav posting c&p'd spec lists (merlin), it did not tolerate portable sun guy (everyone?), it didn't tolerate mk1dubba and a long and illustrious list of others. I don't see a difference between those and this, bar the fact that there has been some time before Lucero was noticed as a returnee.

Debate the account on merit (or not) as you see fit, but you can't attack something ingrained in these forums that make them what they are - an intolerance of blaggers.

Bearing in mind this was 2/3 years ago (i'm not up to speed on things here recently..correct me if im wrong on anything), and he hasn't directly insulted anyone (except possibly insult people's intelligence with his tales and previous usernames...), whats the point of this seeing as his current username comes across as a fairly mature poster and has done so for a while?

Just comes across strange dude, as if attempting to justify a potential ban based on actions way way way in the past, and by comparison with other banned users, whether fair or unfair. If so, thats more work for the mods, as I can imagine there are quite a few users on OcUK who have slipped past the radar, signed up again and reformed their posting style. Should they be banned too?

Live and let live for those who make the effort and "reform" themselves into posters who contribute in a positive manner to whatever forum/subforum they reside in. If they are thick enough to fall back into their old habits they will be found out soon enough, especially here.

I guess it's up to the mods, they will be more than aware of this thread by now.
 
Since we're all expert and incredibly fair would-be mods here, my first action if I were mod would be to suspend hurfdurf for 2 days each and every time he posts something like 'hurfdurf for mod'. It's getting seriously tired now.

I would also start a poll asking who were the top OcUK motors posters (allowing multiple selections). The top five would become the official elite and that way, the wannabe self-proclaimed elite can stop referring to themselves as elite when they are no such thing.

One thing we can all be sure of: this thread has not panned out into the back-slapping cork-popping fawn-fest that DRZ anticipated :D.

I largely agree with you, but then I've seen other people (inc returnees) come back and get on OK and be banned, other returnees come back and be reformed and stay and so on and so forth. There are at least three high-profile posters that are returnees at the moment.

Then we have others that were banned where not even all of the mods agree.

Regardless of the outcome of all of this (for him, for my public image, for the community, hell even for JanesyB!), at least people are aware that there is a history behind the username and they can take any posts with the appropriate pinch of salt.

I love how people take the whole elite thing so seriously :D We're like the illuminati - there is no such thing :D

Fair enough, cant think of anything else to say. Benefit of the doubt, and hopefully for Lucero, he can continue with his current posting style with no major issues from others or indeed himself. If he plays up...more ammo for a ban I guess.
 
I can't believe the number of times that bans are called for on here. By that I mean that I can't believe people actually care that much. It's a mob mentality.
 
Seems to me that obviously the mods have seen the thread, Lucero is still active.

Which ,to me, sums this non-thread up.
 
An interesting thread, always good to know who you are talking to on here. Just like Joshy will always be Broadband in my mind because that is who he is best known as.

The name thing is funny, how this wasn't picked up on by those that care quicker I don't know. Having seen Lucero post that it is orecul backwords made me laugh :D

Should he be banned? For his normal posting, probably not.
For his recent posts in SA though, he should be slapped at least. Though now it sounds like his older style posting where he was trying to be someone, or something, that he is not.

I did discuss this with lucero last night and agree . i think he was going to email a mod to clean the thread up. unfortunately his arrogance in body building comes from having those annoying genetics which means little effort results in big results. it is time and lifestyle that prevent putting real effort in.
