For full features; Go to So am I still banned...
Like seriously...is there still a grudge against me.
What III
Hey What! Hows it going? I don't know the answer, but thought I'd use the
opportunity to give you a quick hello. :mrgreen:
corbett_auto
I think you've probably just been forgotten about....Having said that, the
initial ban was probably set as permenant...Satty will know.
Cliffy
**** just unban him already. No real reason and it's not like you can ever
get rid of him.
Just more names to keep track of
chris_knows
There's about 5 active people posting on this forum these days. Why ban the
possible 6th?
Nissan_Altima
It's not in my place to lift the ban. I didn't ban him...
Satty101
Just unban the guy anyway, no one cares about this place.
jedimario
Hahaha, so ****ing true.
Zalight
I am typically one who tends to agree that there are unwritten guidelines
that need to be followed. And lifting a ban placed by someone else falls
into that category. My question is: who baned WHAT and are they still
around? When have they last been seen and is there a way to contact them
that they will respond to. If the answer to these questions are no, then
I'd say lift the ban temporally until they come back and then ask.
I do realize I have not been here as long as some of you and my say may not
mean much. But for what it's worth, let him stay on at least a probationary
basis.
corbett_auto
It was BavarianWheels, and he seems to come around every once in a while.
chris_knows
Actually I'm here daily keeping the extraordinary amount of spam and forum
bots to a minimum, but none of you would see that. As for What...he is on
isn't he? Wasn't he able to post and ask if he's still banned?
Two words, Short Leash.

BavarianWheels
And you are doing a fine job! :thumbs:
corbett_auto
Doing a great job making sure UFF gets his free paycheck...
dvdrose18
Short leash is wrong for anybody. You've got to give them enough rope to
hang themselves. :laughing:
We definately see the spam. I'm not sure what bots are, but we can see the
spiders too.
thefonz
You may see some spam, but I try to catch as much as possible without too
much disruption. The spiders are not anything to worry about, but the
auto-sign-up bots are many and keeping up with them is just time consuming.
Not having ALL admin powers, the most I can do is clear the advertising
signatures and ban the name.
We get about 30-40 of these bots per day.
.
.
BavarianWheels
how?
when we only have about 10 posts per day?
Zalight
When we delete them, they're permanently and physically removed. When we
delete, we can't even veiw the thread. Saves on bandwidth...
Bav, I had no idea we had that much spam here. Every now and then I see one
which I delete and whatnot, but 30-40 a day? Guess you're keeping up with
it a hell of a lot more than even us mods know..
Satty101
Actual spam/adverts on the forum itself are down, but bot sign ups are a
huge problem. I've repeatedly emailed Adam about this, but in 3+ years
I've not received any word from him.

BavarianWheels
How do you think I feel? All I can do is "tell teacher" (You or Satty),
lol...But at least I can delete spam I guess. It's not all about Banning
people, is it? I secretly enjoy it though, as it gives me something to
do.
This has been my argument all along though. Certain people say we're
useless etc etc, but most of the time, these people don't see what goes on
behind the scenes. Do some people honestly think CF only has the occasional
spamvertiser that only themselves spot and report, and then state that we
need more Mods because we missed some spam? :thumbs:
On topic though, surely What is only posting because he's using a different
username, and not because the Ban was lifted, Bav? :thumbs:
Cliffy
You would be correct Cliff. I'm pretty sure we can't IP ban (Which would
save us a ton of effort...)
Satty101
I was never unbanned.
COME ON DUDE, THIS IS CAR-FORUMS VIA 2009. You 5-and-a-half years INVESTED
IN THIS GAME and you still talking in this OVER-REGULATING LANGUAGE. Stop
parachutin' on my aura, LET ME SHINE.
...because I sure don't give enough of a f*ck about you to moniter what you
say. If you ever catch me on your post trail IT AIN'T ME PIMPIN'. YOU'VE
BEEN BAMBOOZLED.
What III
Obviously if you weren't unbanned, but you still have this SN, then what
the hell is the point?
Satty101
Lolz.
StiMan
Haha. Of course there would be no problem if people did care about this
again.
It'd be fun to hang out with all the old crew again; I guess a good bit of
us still linger though.
jedimario
If you can't respect me...then don't address me at all.
Short leash just got cut in half. And the next time you won't be allowed
back at all as best as I can prevent it.
Have fun with What as long as it lasts.
.

BavarianWheels
weaksauce.
jedimario
I don't mind you not liking the matter.
But I know What will bury himself very soon...and I look forward to it.
Until then deal with that which you have no control over or find another
forum...thousands out there in cyber world.
.

BavarianWheels
I quite like What...He gies us stuff to do, lol. I also think telling
members to find other sites might be destructive in the current
climate....:laughing:
Cliffy
I would agree...however members that have issue with my moderating should
move on and not cause more problems. Simple logic.
.
.
BavarianWheels
I agree, I just don't care.
jedimario
Might loose all three active members
thefonz
roffle.
I agree with Bav on this. What wouldn't bring anything helpful to the site.
Every now and then in the past he did, but when you compare it to all the
shit talking/spreading shit around he did, it wasn't worth it.
Satty101
:screwy: :smoke: :banghead: :ticking: :cussing: :mrgreen:
jedimario
Whoops. I edited it. ha, damn. :doh:
Satty101
Say what? I'm just posting random smileys.
:2cents: :cussing: :banghead: :orglaugh: :smoke: :evil: :laughing: :wink2:
jedimario
Oh. Well you made me re-read my post and discovered it contradicted itself.
Not anymore.
Satty101
The thing that I can not and probably will never never stand about some
people is why they assume stupid actions can be perceived as a tough act.
It's like standing in front of a man with a loaded gun and saying "pull the
trigger I dare you".
What, I do like you and enjoy some of the thing you bring, but really man.
Why do you think that mouthing off to the people that have the control make
you look like a bigger man. Can you not see that true respect is earned
through kind acts and not with muscle.
Good luck to you either way.
corbett_auto
Corbett I don't recognize anything of me in your post. I'm not here to
prove I'm a bad-ass. I'm here to...post my opinion. Yall exaggerate What.
Like, it's just accepted in this thread that I'm just an F'n TERROR on the
boards. No, not really...that's not me.
Maybe you all are too dramatic. So how about you all reach in your pants,
turn down your sissy and have cry-baby free conversation. If I throw
racist remarks or start murdering members (again, apparently) then I'l
happily accept my ban. Until then, lets have peace.
What III
And THIS is what you all want on the forum? LOL...
Nice try Corbett...but as you can see, not even complimenting this
individual gets you any sort of friendly respect...instead you're told
you're too dramatic and to turn your sissy down...THEN..."let's have
peace".
Honestly. Once again, What does it to himself. Let enough rope out and
the boy hangs himself every time. I didn't doubt it would happen, just
thought he might stick around a couple of weeks at least.

BavarianWheels
def over-reacted...
chris_knows
It were fun whilst it lasted plus gave the forum some topic to talk about.
