Tbh I have no concept of race myself, a bloke is a bloke. I wouldn't have been put off if it was a 7ft black bloke. I also had car valeted for atas collection and even cleared out my garage for spares. There was a massive black bag of bits on the back seat with a spare set of headlights, spare set of wing mirrors, bits of trim etc.

I don't think this thread, or this forum, needs "facts" like that.
i've just started reading this thread on this page and saw the old Barry/Brian/Si/Mods issue again. having now just woken up, i think it's best i start at page 1 and read what Ata has been up to

There is something that sits wrongly with me in that we have a genuinely talented mechanic that is willing to help people locked up for a minor issue for a long time, Then we have someone that has really not given anything other than traders subs to the forum that gets a short ban for something that is far worse in my eyes.

I know the team tries so hard and they do do a superb job, They go un-noticed for a majority of the time which is a sign of a good team, But then we get things like this that are simply not right.
I'll start a team appreciation thread soon

I don't condone Barry's sentenance, I think its well out of order considering it was because of reply. It was childish, yeah, but a months ban for that?d6dph wrote:There is something that sits wrongly with me in that we have a genuinely talented mechanic that is willing to help people locked up for a minor issue for a long time, Then we have someone that has really not given anything other than traders subs to the forum that gets a short ban for something that is far worse in my eyes.
Ata pretty much replied in the same content on this yet he only got 24 hours... Which I think was fair.
Barry should have been locked up for the 24 hours, then allowed to either carry on as usual or do the same thing again and then he should have had the month, but the first 24 hour cooling off would have been enough.
I dont think a ban should be judge by how much input someone puts into the zone though... You break the rules, you get the ban regardless of who you are, but set guidelines for sentenances should be made so that one person isnt getting a month for the same as someone getting 24 hours... Think that makes sense.
I find it harsh the length of the sentence
28 days ffs , Others have done worse in the heat of the moment and walked
It does seem a few team members have it in for him
The whole situation needs sorting tbh as quite a few on here are fed up to the back teeth with this whole "lets ban barry" situation
The team do a good job but maybe its time for the team to change it members
Back to ata to save lockdown

Ata is still in the klink though isn't he? Plus, his ban period is not yet decided and the current term will be extended.
I for one have had enough of all the pishing & moaning and my spurs have been hung up

Free barry and leave ata in there as he is no asset to the zoneE30BeemerLad wrote:Ata is still in the klink though isn't he? Plus, his ban period is not yet decided and the current term will be extended.
Id hope ata`s ban would be permanent this time anyway , Dont think im alone on this either

I personal don't know why anyone would want to be a mod.
The only reason I come on here is to have a wind up, catch up with mate's or wade into the latest drama.
Most of which you couldn't do as a mod.
Lee is one of the best IMO, (not because he's a mate either). He post's when needed, not before. Rarely locks thread's when a warning will do. He's going to be a big loss on here!!!!
Who's going to keep me out the slammer now

Bye Dezzy, it's been emotional.
