Reference this thread http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1300744705
Reply #44 where a half-hearted admission of a mistake was made. Should "Millwall" and "RobG" have their postcounts re-instated :D
-
voted :y
-
Very much so :)
-
I have voted yes , they should get there post count back. I have found RobG to allways be a gentleman. I cannot really say I have really spoken to Millwall but he has never come accross as offensive in anything I have seen written by him.
I have not read all of the thread in question. I am currently trying to avoid all conflict for personal reasons.
Hope you get them back chaps :)
-
Cheers Manta. Poll was done "tongue in cheek" but even the header has now been altered by admin :-X ;D
-
RobG is one of the most knowledgable and helpful people on the forum,people who are genuinely new to the site are looking to the experienced oofer's for help and may not think another newbie knows any more than they do
just my twopenny worth >:(
-
I have voted "YES" as the two are great members on here and always contribute very positively. :y :y :y
On the thread in question there was some provocation, but it all turned into a humerous exchange of banter 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-).
-
Thank you Lizzie and Henry. :) As said, the "banter" in the main was never intended to be construed as offensive or malicious
-
I've voted "yes" - not specifically because because I think that RobG and Millwall didn't deserve their post counts to be docked, but for the same reason henryd gives.
The postcount serves a gauge as to a member's experience of omegas, which is useful to a newbie who doesn't know one member from another.
It also helps (as I stated on another thread) to know whether an "argument" is light hearted banter between two long standing members/friends or something perhaps more serious.
The "punishment" of having postcount docked is only a punishment if the member in question wants to sell something - otherwise it serves no purpose other than to inconvenience *other* members of the forum.
having said all the above, this forum is NOT a democracy - it's a dictatorship (possibly a theocracy :) ) - and we all (should) know the rules
-
I wasn't going to post on this topic but will anyway...
I was following (sort of) the thread in question and it did end up a bit like a school yard, with name calling and what could be termed offensive emoticons used. Exactly what H21 has penalised the 3 members for as it is not in the spirit of OOF. ;)
That said, EMU was deliberately pulling the strings to wind people up and it all got out of hand ::) I've been in this position on here before with certain members deliberately pulling the right strings so I just stopped answering them in threads. ;)
I'm sure the Admin team will discuss the situation and make a decision with the best for the forum in mind :y
At the end of the day people, the Admin team are the ones who provide this site and have a set of "rules" or Guidelines which they try to uphold. You did something in contravention to those guidelines and have been punished in the only way possible (other than a Banning) so have to accept that. I expect it will be a temporary cull on your postcounts but would suggest that you take it on the chin and move on ;)
Oh... And I actually thought it was the fairest solution... A banning would have been a bit OTT but something had to be done as this is, after all, a very friendly, family establishment :y

This is a thoughtful post, and I agree with the opinion expressed. It is useful to us lesser mortals to check post-counts and use it as one way to help assess whether the poster is an experienced OOF member, and therefore probably, if not necessarily, likely to offer useful advice. Of course, after a while, it is possible to glean this information by reading threads, and getting to know names of the experienced members, but that only works if everyone keeps the same name, which not all do! :y

Look, enough is enough now.... but I would like to put on record though that I think Mr Rob.G should have his post count returned with an extra 100 posts for the hardship this has caused him. ;) :D :D :D
But Mr Millwall should be punished further as he was been seen driving around Landan in a Rover 75 :o :o :o so I would ask the admins to keep him on minus 100 posts as he is no longer a true Omega owner ;) ;D ;D

your damn right can i have my punishment asap ;D ;D

And its a "yes" from me too. Have always found rob helpful and knowledgable and , whilst post counts can obviously be increased through posting just drivel ( :o ;D) or responding to simply anything, I agree with others that it IS an indication that the member does have more experience -and, of course, without posting there isnt a forum. Totally agree that there need to be rules around behaviour and respect for others but unsure as to reasons why rob and milwall docked their counts? Anyhow, heres hoping Admins relent :y

i think post count is very important to some people. some seem to think it gives them a bit of importance to the site if they have a high count. some get quite stroppy when someine is breaking the rules. thats my opinion anyway.

Important to me Richie only in the sense I`ve been unemployed for quite a while (no benefits as was self-employed) so it allows me the opportunity to try & make a bit of cash by offering Omega parts at a cheap cost to Oofers. But there`s always the bay of fleas

Trying Rich, but not doing well. You know what it`s like when you`ve been self-employed. Not entitled to naff all benefit wise. >:( Must have applied for at least 90 jobs all within my skill range and I`ve come to the conclusion it`s an "age" thing. Seems nowadays employers would prefer "youthfullness" over experience >:( >:(

To pull this to some sort of conclusion.
Postcount crop has done as intended, made folks speak about various things, and perhaps made folks more aware of how OOF operates. :y
To answer some of the points made, however and in particular, how a 'senior' member may be percieved by a newbie when postcount numbers are culled.
Postcount numbers is not the definative indicator of knowledge on here. Far from it. ::)
There are those who post exclusively in the Newbies section and rarely appear elsewhere. Thanks for extending the welcomes, but there is more to the forum that nodding a polite 'Hello' to a stranger whilst passing on your local High Street. :)
Likewise, others post in Electrical and never dare venture into GenDiss or General Help. Always handy to know what radio fits where but there is more to the cars than that. :o
Some have taken root in GenDiss and never dare venture the slightest word of help in any section other than to praise/boast/critiscise anything and everything in general in the big world that is outside of Omega ownership... 8-)
Some post utter drivel anywhere and everywhere simply to get 250 posts to sell something Omega related because they are either too tight to pay the going rate in the good places to sell such things and think that saving a shilling on here gets the best access to the best customer base. How wrong is that then? Sand to Arabs or ice to Eskimo's? :-/ :-X
Modified to add that there are a fair old proportion of members who do interact throughout the forum and do take an active part in all aspects of OOF and not simply huddle away in their own little corner, speaking only with the select few mates who also live there, oblivious to all else elsewhere.
Now whats a clique again? ;D :D :y
Postcounts will be restored shortly and hopefully, we can all learn something. Myself included. And enjoy OOF for what it really is and not how some of the 'regulars' entice into being. :y

How wrong is that then? Sand to Arabs or ice to Eskimo's? :-/ :-X
Modified to add that there are a fair old proportion of members who do interact throughout the forum and do take an active part in all aspects of OOF and not simply huddle away in their own little corner, speaking only with the select few mates who also live there, oblivious to all else elsewhere.
Now whats a clique again? ;D :D :y
Postcounts will be restored shortly and hopefully, we can all learn something. Myself included. And enjoy OOF for what it really is and not how some of the 'regulars' entice into being. :y
thank you h21 and yes must remember sometimes :-X :y

This all goes back a long time ago, to the day when my mighty Honda SS50 whooped the arse off his Yamahe Fizzy.
The Fizzy should be faster really, but the poor little thing can hardly move, as he is morbidly obese. ;) :D ;D
