It's their ball, and they can take it home with them if they want to!

I recently paid to become a member of a bike related forum and made the
mistake of advertising paters NTV on there - the thread was deleted by one
of the moderators who stated that you couldn't advertise on behalf of anyone
else unless they were also a club sponsor.

Earlier on, I absentmindedly went to put an ad on there for some VFR bits on
behalf of someone else I know, and the same moderator again deleted the ad.

Looking at his posting history, he recently advertised his sons car on
there... and his son isn't a club sponsor.

And now that I've pointed this out to him, he's come back with a PM with all
sorts of 'FOAD' undertones.

Bless him... the fucking hypocrite.

Oh, and this post has been inspired by the likes of Rope... but at least
it's bike related. ;-)

 

Sorry but you *completely* lost me at this point FFS!

 

It was when I wanted to get rid of the VFR... they seemed to have a lot of
perverts on there into them, so I figured it was a good place to advertise
it...

....which it wasn't, really.

You have to be a 'sponsor' to be given advertising privileges.

Fleabay, as ever, was my friend on that one.

Anyway... I've had a response now from another moderator who actually seems
to appreciate that some of the policies on there are a tad over-zealous.

 

It's like Kira and IRC all over again ;o)

Is the dear old Herm still kicking? I recall Loz seeing her in France a few
years ago but she was always complaining that treatments would significantly
shorten her life expectancy.

 

The moderator concerned seems pretty intent in staying on topic, and as a
result I've not had any rants from them as of yet regarding their right to
modify more than just his bike...

<thinks>

....although it would possibly explain why they're so seemingly hormonal.

Leg of lamb, anyone?

 

Do as I say, not as I do.

So it seems.

Which makes him a hypocritical fuckface in my book. ;-)

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, JackH

You didn't by any chance pay by credit card?

Only, if you did, start a chargeback claim. Just say that you haven't
received the service you paid for (the same service the hypocrite is
getting).

It may or may not work, but it'll be slightly amusing for you and a
fuckload of expense and hassle for the forum owners.

 

I did, as it goes...

Good call. :-D

I'll give it a few more days to see if the other chap sorts anything out,
and then if not, I may give this a go.

Cheers.
