lol, good posters? Only because they made you feel good about your investments.
They were one eyed rampers that dragged that thread and the whole of ASF down. The reason ASF is so good imo is posters like that are weeded out.
Ps - The reason you haven't been "modded" in a few years is because you now follow the rules. The rules here known and are strictly enforced by the mods, simple as that.
I guess what we are all talking about is freedom of speech, and in Australia that is a right.
Forums like these must tread a fine line with the moderations, some mods cross that line.
As for swearing, try travelling on a Melbourne suburban train on a Saturday night.!! It seems that anybody under 25 has a 2 word vocab lol

nomore...oh dear,
I remember you and aint gunna get in no slangin match.
Interesting that they were one eyed rampers and that you werent a one eyed dramper that dragged that thread and the whole of ASF down.
DAZT49,
If you want free speech, start a blog. Forums are not a platform for free speech.
It administrators right to remove whatever he/she/they like. Posting on forums like this one are not a right, they are a privilege and if you don't obey the rules you lose that privilege, as simple as that.
noika,
I didnt say anything like that.
I just mentioned about travelling on the train.
lmao, I find it interesting that you come on here to whinge about HC but now also whinge about posters that have been banned here for continued excessive ramping.
Can't have it both ways.
Joe & ASF has prided itself on the high standards it maintains on people posting to the stock threads and imo this sets it apart from other forums, but of course I'm biased
Not into blogging ,twittering etc.etc.
Freedom of speech is a right,its why soldiers fought and died in wars to uphold democracy in many countries.Check out the Aust.Constitution.
It is a bigger privelege for the mod, to be empowered to censure any individual.
Thats why somebody started this thread, because mods on another site abused this privilege.
My comment was aimed at "those that find it necessary" rather than at you as the poster of the comment. My apologies to you personally.

nioka said:I think that the more anyone swears the dumber they are and that they have no respect for anyone else.
But whats that got to do with ASF ?

Freedom of speech is not a right on a privately owned forum. The "privilege" of moderation can't be abused, because there is no obligation or set standard.
You don't think that is a little extreme?
No I consider bad language in mixed company is extreme. As I posted earlier, if anyone can't express themselves without resorting to foul language then rhe must be pretty dumb or very disrespectful. There is no other excuse.
Freedom of speech is a right but this forum is not a platform for you to exercise that right. Again it's not a right to post on these forums Datz, and you don't have the right to say anything you want on these forums, there are specific guidelines set out for very good reasons.
If you don't like being censured by mods on any site - follow the rules of the site or don't post there, simple.
Exactly.
nioka mate, a trickcyclist friend of mine is over for dinner and I showed him the posts on this thread.
He wanted to know if you had been breast or bottle fed, as he has a theory as to why you are so anal about language. ( His words not mine. )
gg
I cant remember back that far but I have a long history of being in rough places. I was brought up around bullockies in the 30s. I learnt to swear with the best of them. I went through the services. I spent years on whaling stations. So I know all about foul language.
I was working on an Island, camped with about 60 men as tough and rough as you can get. Even then those tough fellas still respected women, at least to the extent of watching their language in their presence.
One day when things were not going according to plan I guess I was using some pretty foul language. An old maori came up to me and said that I should have had a good enough education to be able to express myself without the use of foul language. I have hardly ever sworn since.
That same Maori was once having an argument with an obnoxious burly carpenter. Bob, the carpenter said to him" if you were 50 years f#**# younger you would be getting a f#**# punch in the nose" Whereas Fred replied "son, if I was 50 years younger I'd be eating your liver by now"
So you see swearing doesn't make you tough, it only shows you up as an unintelligent git.
