I doubt such a policy is being adhered to, even just 10% of the time.

Does it really matter? No.
Who cares? Nobody.

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.

Yep that's the one, bit of a bust up between the mods. I was pretty sure it was in this thread, it seems quite a few posts have been 'cleaned up'

Saturday Night really does bring out the worst in motors lol

I didn't see anything happen here, but the Fast Car Saxo thread is MIA since this morning

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

Fr0dders · 24 Jul 2011 at 16:27

i'm guessing so

PMKeates · 24 Jul 2011 at 16:30

I think this is how these things go:

*Mod from other section enters Motors*

*Five seconds pass*

doesn't help hee moderates the CPU, Memory & linux forums, where i doubt a cross word is ever crossed and lots of mutual back patting goes on.

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

I missed the fun in the last few days it seems

Can I ask what this 10% thing is about, or will I be disappearing in the middle of the night if I do?

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.

Thanks

Was expecting something a bit more spectacular, little disappointed

Kenai · 24 Jul 2011 at 17:31

The whole thing in the PC Games forum has been a bit overexcited given what actually happened.

Erm, it was a little more than that, to sum it up:

orderoftheflame said:
If you'd rather not read the actual threads for yourself, I suppose I could sum it up for you..

Tried to force a rule that clearly didn't come from OcUK to begin with (Hence why it's been revised god knows how many times), that contradicted the rule we've been told to follow before.

Made no effort for a calm and clarified statement to the matter, just raged and threw his weight around. Enforcing that because "he purchased the games" he had the final say on it.

Closed and deleted threads that were just asking for clarification / a sticky.

Banned Neil for a thread made before this rule was even mentioned, without warning.

Held Neil hostage until the forum agreed to his rules, only unbanning him when he realised it wasn't going to happen.

Banned two other members that had to wait for Telliscopi to unban them the next day.

Sent threatening emails to some members outside of the forums (and without trust).

Generally stirred up a PR ****storm and represented OcUK in a terrible fashion that could have been avoided from five minutes in / Acted like a teenager despite being a big boy now.

I can't think of one company that would be sane to let a staff member act to customers in that way without some kind of action being taken.

Anyway, for everything else see this thread:

Just to add some balance, I think you're all a bunch of *****.
