But I'm not a mod alas, so I'll stick with the scuba flippers for now.
Cheers pal!

Isn't that called 'The Banter?'daimlerman wrote:Good to see that the zone is big enough to welcome back previously banned members,trust that all concerned will play/post by the same rules that the rest of us keep to.
Our common interest,afterall,is in using and maintaining/restoring elderly cars,not sniping and scoring points off those less articulate than ourselves.
Don't worry... one of my mates have a crazy M3 compact drift car that we built in less than 2 weeks has made be become rather fond of them even though I hated them beforeKos wrote:my m52 is in an e36 Compact lolDave_M3 wrote:Welcome back Kos!

Now you'll be rightfully put back in your place as 3rd most abrasive zoner, which frankly is a generous ranking.
You would have placed higher but your Scottish background inherently makes you mean and moody so that natural advantage has been taken into account.
If you were the way you are and from Somerset, you may have made it to 1st place.

My guess would be that the mods want a bit more unofficial moderation done on the countless pish threads that arise by allowing the more outspoken members back to put those members in their placefuzzy wrote:why the sudden change of heart over previously banned members? some of the official statements the last time this subject was mentioned seemed pretty definite.
whos first and second now then? surely you dont rate yourself that highly? i dont consider myself so bad. perhaps an abrasive rating of 80 grit.Royalratch wrote:Because they were sick of you having no competition Fuzz.fuzzy wrote:why the sudden change of heart over previously banned members? some of the official statements the last time this subject was mentioned seemed pretty definite.

Come on, you know what the real reason is, they realised that all this 'over moderation, banning' and 'political correctness' malarky has sent the place downhill, what better way to liven up the forum and ward off the scummer types at the same time!gcs325i wrote:My guess would be that the mods want a bit more unofficial moderation done on the countless pish threads that arise by allowing the more outspoken members back to put those members in their placefuzzy wrote:why the sudden change of heart over previously banned members? some of the official statements the last time this subject was mentioned seemed pretty definite.. That or they are bored of banning Ratch's various user-names.

Oh god zayyan, I hope he doesn't come back. What a waste of time, the amount of zoners he messed around through him buying parts.
