    Just Amazing!

    Ok granted this is a rant about the VOC forum lol! But I've just seen they've closed our What have you done to your X40 tread, Only reason I can see as one of the members (Who hasn't had an issue before) commented about how what someone did made their bonnet look like it needing adjust which the guy didn't like the answer to and they closed the whole thread?

    It's gotten to that stage now lol

    Seems VOC is constantly getting a bashing on here...if you don't like how a forum is run or its content....simply Log Out.....can't see why we need to know tbh

    Some interesting moderating going on over there on the whole.
    I've been a mod on another site and it is a pretty thankless job on the whole, not a terribly fun way to spend your free time tbh.
    What puzzles me is that the posts could have just been deleted and the thread re-opened almost instantly.
    I guess they want to limit the discussion continuing once the posts (and member) is gone. Someone with 7 posts is hardly a linchpin of the VOC community

    Hope it gets reopened without hassle as it is a stupidly useful thread. Maybe Kieren's thread over here will get more popular xD

    Tbh they have probably only closed it temporarily, to edit out the Grow Junkie guys posts,
    They shut down one the other day ,edited out the crap and unlocked it again.
    I seriously doubt the X49 thread will get shut , its been on the go for ages .
    Kieran has restarted it here because it is so well supported.

    Use our one matt on here yes orca I copied Gary's idea I think it's a brilliant thread pictures always help aswell it makes the world turn I.m.o. You just have to realise voc is going in a different direction and don't post anything other than car talk it's time they made the report button a banable offence people are too quick to use it over absoloute nothing sticks and stones and all that.

    Did anyone fire off a PM to ask why it was locked up ! They usually come back fairly quickly, with their reason.
    It seemed a really good thread, always changing.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not one for bashing MODS and complaining. I do like the VOC forum, but it just seemed completely random and a daft method of going about things. It was one post of which someone called someone a Muppet and it didn't go any further than that. Why close it?

    Disappointing really.

    Lol it's not the mods it's some of the forum members matt I barked at that Pierre my alpine bloke today because he took it on himself to be a spokesman for skyship and the voc forum I was talking to gatos on there also happy diver then it ended we didn't hijack any thread, busy body's I bet he was on his report button for half hour lol.

    It's going on enough matt people getting offended or speaking on other people's behalf I'm sure if skyship had a problem or saw it as a hijack he could speak for himself lol. I told him to mind his own buisness lol

    I do feel sorry for skyship at times as he does get a lot of grief, I enjoy reading his posts and yes he can rant a bit but thats part and parcel of a forum, having loads of differing ideas etc.

    I get grief also just as skyship does but as i have been about a lot longer i just don`t bite .....i make others bite in my own way!...just like skyship will do it his way.....Lol

    The thing is if someone has the proper answers that others dislike then that is where the grief comes in and others dislike it and show it in posts which can go on and on...

    This is why to lock a thread i agree with as it only takes one to mess up the thread and it goes way out of control with banter and crap which i am not into!

    Then the seriousness and learning from the thread gets readers pi$$ed off and no longer follow it...

    There are so many places on the Menu in the Forums which are allocated towards crap and banter so why is it allowed to encroach on the more serious part of the forum where members want serious help with there problem?

    skyship's post are interesting, he knows his oil, he's just not too keen on mods on cars. Everyone has an opinion.

    I like Skyshio, he is a bit oil obsessed for sure , but he is a bit less ordinary.
