Valkia was foolish, but it's still being blown out of proportion, people should just drop it.

No, not just because you say so.

At the very least there should be an apology, given the events that transpired and the fact that it was an OcUK employee who was so rude to us.

He was asking what the 10% reference was about, which is exactly what I linked him to.

Fair enough :)
 
The clutch is heavy, and the seat makes me feel like I'm driving a bus in comparison with the MINI! Sat so high up! I need to take it out for a thrash to readjust, and feel the love again. I think it needs some bucket seats! :D
 
You may well get an apology, I imagine Gibbo will be deciding what to do at the moment. Your point has been put across.

Shall be investigated tomorrow as I've missed what has transpired I think but all I will say if what I think has happened then apologies from myself and OcUK for un-professional behavior by moderators of the Overclockers UK forums. Its not something that shall be allowed to happen again.

Yeah i think stern word is needed with valkia and Andrew Moore for last nights ridiculous post.
 
It might be worth saying a thing or two in here Gibbo, some people are a bit upset - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18298816

Just at least so the irritated people know it isn't "being swept under the rug" :p

What actually happened there, I'm not really being nosey but I'm intrigued as it must have been quite a performance for 2 mods to be going at it?

I know what you mean, finally got the Evo back on the road today and after sitting in your Mini, and Gibbo and Solid's Porka's - it was like driving a tractor!

After a hours blast it feels normal again, but I'm interested is seeing what the lowering rails you can get for Evo's makes the car feel like.

However its important to remember that the ethos of the car is totally different from most quick cars - although a part of me will always hunger for something raw, revvy and go kartish.

P.S. These have your name on it:

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.

Understood and taken onboard, they are promoted to such roles to allow them to be able to make threads where normal members cannot, but things may need to change, but I shall get to the bottom of this tomorrow.
