Obvious trickery to end my campaign

On a more serious note, it seems like that side of the forums is well covered, even at 4am spam doesn't seem to last long. It's the PR side of things you guys need and what I would bring to the table.

Why did I bother unignoring those posts

Can you screen shot what it looks like when someone is on ignore. I have never done it as it seems a bit silly to me, but what comes up, or are the posts not there, and does it not get very very confusing if someone quotes a post that you have ignored?

PR is fine, people think motors is run by fox and all he does is recommend mondeos and bmw's.

Nope

And Fox has clearly been run out to the point where his posts have gone down massively in quantity because of the abuse he used to get from his idiotic haters who would literally follow him from thread to thread. At a great loss to this forum I should add.

for those that have brains they can see that's clearly not the case and the advice here is impartial and has a huge spread/wealth of knowledge

I'm more than happy for 99% of GD to stay in their play pen and carry on hating on motors

Yup.

I'm an amazing mod... I apologise when I'm wrong, I email people and chat to them, and I'm good looking, buff and even foreign!!! What better PR can you get?!

I'm on about your issues with http://www.stonewall.org.uk/ etc etc, should they ever rear their ugly head.

They would have a field day if they could convince people the homophobia in here was the responsibility of the shop like the BnB case they recently won.

Just seems odd

A lot has seemed odd about everything on here recently. Trust no one.

DM posted a picture of him his daughter and another person a while back, I can't remember if it was the same person as in the picture just posted though.

Yet another useful post graces the Offtopic thread.

So my dad likes young girls so what? On a scale of 1 to 100 he is a 99 as far as dads go.
Yes he is useless when he is drunk are you perfect? No he should not post on a forum but that him larger than life.
What he does in Russia i really dont mind when he lived there i am quite sure there was more than Russia99 to find on the internet.

Might want to rephrase young girls too something more like "younger women".

Young girls sounds so so wrong.

It is actually a really subtle troll, for that is secretly me and he is implying I should be a mod.

Why is that woman in pink mooning the camera, how inappropriate

hurfdurf · 22 Jul 2011 at 20:02

Toyota MR2 or MX5 for very little money, both will run forver (the mx5 will anyway) and cost very little to run.

Am I imagining it or have a series of posts been deleted from last night?

A mod made a really poor decision, was laughed at a lot, and I am guessing that and a few other things have been cleaned up since then.

I did wonder why that vanished, I guess the Andrew Moore NathWraith spat got a bit out of hand?

Not really a spat, Andrew Moore came in, scrubbed tiered it up, and Nathwraith sent him back to the Linux cool boys club.

Well I saw that, that was there last night, what happened after that to warrant the thread going into the nether regions of the forum?

The embarrassment of the whole thing still being public.

My (probably unwanted, but you're getting it anyway) 2p is that auto-promoting OcUK staff straight to the moderating team is a Bad Thing.

I remember wondering about that when it first happened and we've seen some pretty poor behaviour since then really. Last night was probably the culmination of that.

Moderation of this place was always done by the people that really loved the forums. I was there once and some of the people I have met and had some good times with then-moderators but we all had one thing (at least) in common - which was a love for the forums.

Sticking anyone that has a job at OcUK in that role means you remove that love and understanding from things and thats when you get the user base peed off with the mod team and unsightly threads popping up here and there.

A good post

A clear case for popular and good posters to be made mod you say?! Could this be a clear indication that moderators should be selected based on posting merit?! That sounds like a campaign another person was running a little whole ago....
