due to the amount of interest i have displayed in this particular topic, a few other members of the forum have PM'd, sms and one has even called me to express their dissatisfaction and asked me to bring forward an issue that has long since been troubling them.. apparently a huge number of members are not happy with Joe (PVA_Glue) and would like to see him replaceds as Mod. Among the reasons stated were inconsistent moderating (closing threads for no real reason) and a general lack of interest towards the club

this isnt neccesarily my opinion but pressure from my peers has forced me into bringing this issue out in the open with the hope of a positive outcome for all parties involved. let me repeat once again that im not offering myself for any post and in fact.. i believe the WA section could exist with even 3 mods..

whichever it is, its not my place to say.. im merely acting as a spokesman on behalf of my peers who want to see the forum improve.. im sorry to see it go this way coz i have been here since 2002 and Joe has been here even before me and i must say he has put in a lot of effort into the forums.. though maybe sometimes its best to step aside and let other ppl carry on with it

i saw the real post to that :bahaha:

dare i say it ..... but i do think that Bam has a point.

[N I B]

I am very sorry and grateful for the Job done by Liz and Dan as they had info others dont.

Remember that the Mods know when ppl have multi names and post things they wont under their real name.I had mods warn me also and have warnings against my name so its not one way.Thanks for those Ash:)

Remember there is always more to a story than you read on here.

Well done Mods.

[Pva_Glue]

Well thank you very much for your concern Bam as well as his people he is representing it.

I tell you I have no plane to abandoning the SAU forum, I will not leave the place because some group of people think I am not I quote "(apparently a huge number of members are not happy with Joe (PVA_Glue)) and would like to see him replaced as Mod.

Among the reasons stated were inconsistent moderating (closing threads for no real reason) and a general lack of interest towards the club".

I like to find out what inconsistency there are if there is any? with lack of interest?.

My absent of posts have been misrepresented as not doing the work but frankly since we have another new mod (sneeza) I have been step back.

I have expalined to all mods why I was away from SAUWA events.

when time comes I am sure my fellow mods and Prank will notify me.

I do not have to defend my position, I am happy with where I am.

and I dont understand since when I got the point of blame (if you call that or witch hunt)? I was doing as my job mod, that was right thing to do at the time.

I can not stress the fact that SAUWA is NOT same Entity as SAU Forum!!! as far as I know they are differnt Identiyty.

so SAU WA members can throw any personal opinions but end of the day it depends on remaining WA MODS and Prank will be making the final decitions who is MOd or not.

so thank you for your concern, we will look into it.

cheers

JOe

Cheers

Bad boys for life

teejay aka dj tj the infamous black rapper

ill all honesty, while alot of anger was raised from me, and being a somewhat public figure of a car club in wa, ppl assumed that i was organising alot of the shit on here. i certainly wasnt, and now this is all over im happy i can un muddy my name to some extent.

[SHUTO-BOY]

who cares teejay

[MrMayhem]

its certainly not the same now as it was in the early days................

[teejay]

Aidwin by the amount of calls emails pm's and conversations i had, alot of ppl cared.

i did a few things wrong so im setting it straight.

if you feel me making an apology is wrong, feel free to talk to me about it.

cheers

perhaps the mods have the ability to see where a thread is heading, that's why they close it.

In the case of the recent whatever it was (thank God I missed it), obviously that's what the mods strive to avoid. So if they perhaps seem to act prematurely, we should at least give them the benefit of the doubt as I'm sure their intentions are good.

If someone has a beef with someone else, it's probably better to deal with it face to face and not in the public arena.

Damn i havent a clue what heppened here someone fill me in at the next cruise hey.

[caminperth]

Bully - I'm with you... I've missed everything that's been happening lately...

[Boostzor]

Dont worry guys u didnt miss too much. Some guy said something, got banned, thread closed, new mod discussion started and here we are.

U might be right with PVA there bambam he can get a little thread close happy from time to time but i wouldnt say any of the mods are or can be perfect. They do tend to get a little amped on occasion, after all they are only human like the rest of us but i believe that their hearts are in the right place.

Yes Dan he did have a blue 300 it was there on the day when the supra went bush bashing that thing had some huge rear wheels on it it looked like a dome tent from the back.

[ix9]

I remember that one now, that 300zx had MKIV Supra rear taillights and full small-mammal-intake dish rims!

[skyzerr33]

2rismo more than likely started this thread due to me.

We as admin/mods and you has forum users both have a set of guildlines to follow. Yes someone got banned but only because they had constantly broken the users guildlines and these infractions were reported to the mods. Thus we had to act on them. Some may see this as nazi or overmoderating, but different people find different things offensive. Which is why mods are always in a loose, loose situation as you can't please everyone on a public forum of this size.

As stated by 25GTT i've been around for ages from the early days of SDU some 5 or 6 years ago. Yes I have been a mod of the WA section for the entire time SAU as been active, since april 2002. In that time I have only moderated 235 posts/treads thats less than 2 a week, I don't see how thats overmoderating. The WA section has had its ups and downs but in my opinion it has run very smoothly considering its size and some of the topics that have come up.

To Kym with spliting the threads yes thats possible only problem is if you want to remove just one or two posts its much simpler to edit or delete them due to software package.

And Ken, Kyles still has nightmares about that drive in the Zed you gave her.
