Very disappointed in response from admin I post a polite thread making a valid question to be me with If you want an ebay style system, there is a great website that already implements it. Its called ebay what a argont response from a person that helps maintain such a friendly and informative site I appreciate they may do this for free in there spare time and for that I'm very gratefull my point being to you the boy read whole thread before making an asumsion on what being asked and try and give a constructive reason rather than NO end quote yes I suffer from dislexia yea I struggle through life like most yet I still maintain curtosy and politeness to others yea you can remove post yea you can ban my account but a real diplomat for this site would leave this thread and apologise for being rude spose I shall see what happens tom evening thread here account banned or rant from the boy and I apologise in advance if you admit you were in the wrong rant over

pointless if you have a issue with a member take it up via pm

yeh, i agree a pm would prob work best in this situation, but have to add, newer members or anyone tht hasnt followed or read the boys posts much could easily take it the wrong way. but that said, hes always to the point straight away.
-
No issues with member mate just there conduct done this way so all can see what happens to or with a member that unhappy with response from admin to a polite question asked
-
you have to remember these questions have been asked monthly since time began. so rolling of the same answer is automatic.
no point getting offended by a forum, its 0s and 1s.
the answers are always varied and quick no matter what the subject, def a top forum.
TB is just angry hes too old to be emo :y ;D ;D ;D
-
To be fair, if you'd used the search function you would have seen the same question asked less than 6 weeks ago ;)
TB is blunt in his answers. Sometimes it comes across in a way it isn't meant :y
-
That appreciated mate but serious suggestions for site or be it helping protect its members could have bein met with sorry short ans is no with this topic has bein done beforehand we are unable implement such a system Ty for your suggestion ect ect 5min q ans topic closed
-
Point noted for future lazy Ty still new to all this and surf this site mainly on my phone hence sum weird posts from me due to predictive text rubbish lol

Don't take it personally ;) ;)
You should hear the way he talks about/to me or Gayboy Chris sometimes :D :D
Or what he calls his current SWMBO :-X ::) :D

Appreciated all for comments but if I'm honest I dont agree with responses like that from admin it like for instance heaven forbid account gets hacked send mail for help from admin asking for help and getting response back tough can understand for a thread change background to pink lol you no what I mean anyway I started thread to see if this person is capable of admitting there mistake or not publicly that's all no offence made

To be fair, as a newbie he has a point...... :)

May be a newbie, but knows too well witch buttons to push imo!

@ Chris don't understand the post mate sorry I'm not looking to make this person look bad or slander the fellow. I'm sorry if it came across that way

Sorry dont believe you...
if i'm wrong i appologise, but you seem far too well informed.
Maybe you just hit a nerve by accident, or maybe its well aimed...?
For a newbie, your certainly diving in the deep end surely?
-
waits answer with baited breath. ::)
-
Na fella I just live my life by little rules I try to treat people with respect and expect a little in return just because I'm new here does that imply I don't have to be treated the same as you for instance what on earth has my account state got to do with a rude response ul put it another way @chris if I approached u in street and said hey mate were the nearest ****** kwik fit what would your response be just a thought

Kwick fit is not a six star estabishment for a start... ;)
-
Lmao well said mate but you get my point ;D
-
My response would be to send you to my local independent and save you getting ripped off ;D
-
Its not rude, but factual.
You dont get up to 60k posts trying to help and respond to as many as possible by noncing about.

its quality not quantity ??? ::) ;D :D ;)
im too drunk to care, but isnt there a section for forum improvments/suggestions? or am i thinking of another site?
each member no matter how the font looks is a differant person, and will answer you in differant ways. TB gets straight to the point job done, bit of a fanboy but you get over that.
-
What on earth has posts got to do with any of wow he bein here 5years look at the posts it takes a couple of extra mins to give proper response less if at the keyboard to laptop I don't disagree with direct ans just the way that particular response was posted and thread terminated
-
From my point of view The Boy has said nothing the he needs to apologise for. :)
-
Might as well chuck my tuppence worth in.......
I suspect the OP doesnt realise that this issue was discussed at length recently and the thread got pretty heated,so The Boy probably wasnt too happy to see it rearing its head again. Being a newbie he probably doesnt realise that The Boy is well known to regulars for sometimes being a tad abrupt. He is a very busy man, not known for being overly patient at times (probably due to being busy) and is also known as the shouty man (among other things). ::) ;D
Regarding this thread - I dont think enough tolerance and patience has been shown to him,bearing in mind the fact that he is a newbie,and for someone to reply "dont believe you",when they presumably dont know him from Adam -Its tantamount to calling someone you know nothing about a liar, and says more about them than it does about him imo.
Anyone with sufficient life experience and reasonable judgment can,imo, see that we are dealing with someone unused to the ways and routines of the forum,and therefore are probably a little out of their depth at the moment.
Hardly a warm welcome for a recent member is it ?..............doesnt it say something somewhere to the effect "join in,we dont bite" ? Well, he got bit tonight. ;)
-
@ darth sorry mate maybe my point was not so easy to see what I meant by rude was with the way the response was constructed and thread terminated with no adequate response explaining why or it has even bin acknowledged understood topic has already bein covered I'm at fault for not trying search even so that could have bein put in response and ans is there that's my gripe I do however understand it can be frustrating at times for you guys revisiting post after post of same issue :y
-
@albs ty for that mate :)
-
Just trying to be objective and look at things fairly. ;)
-
Is the thread your refering too "Just a thought"?
If so it is still there and hasn't been removed, it has dropped down the page a little though.
I am not here to stick up for The Boy he is ugly enough to do that himself, but when you text things can be taken wrongly...
This topic has been covered numerous times over the last few weeks, fair play you may not have been a member of the forum then so did not understand what was meant.
I do still stand by though as long as I am talking about the correct thread, that The Boy did not say anything that warrants an apology.
:)
-
This thread does not sit easy with me. I am all for debate and suggestions being aired but this seems more personal to me. You asked a question TB gave you an answer which was more than acceptable and locked the thread probably because a similar thread that featured recently went nasty.
If you wish to have a dig at a person then do it via PM but mind you don't abuse them. As for the debate, its been done, its been decided and there is little more to go on about.
You seem to know a lot about banned members and feedback, for a new member.......
-
Can't see what the fuss is all about.
If I'd read the thread first, I probably would have answered in the the same way as TB.
End of!
This forum was not started for sellers, it was intended to help owners with problems - hence the comprehensive Maintenance Section.
-
Add to the fact that, although the OP may not have known that it had recently been brought up, I had already told him that it was recently been discussed and opened a can of worms I don't see that TB needed to add any more :-\
He was, however, as blunt as ever ::) ;D
Never mind... It's a new day! Best to draw a line under it and carry on :y :y
-
This forum was not started for sellers, it was intended to help owners with problems - hence the comprehensive Maintenance Section.
And we already know that the "For Sale" section can be a complete PITA for the Admin team anyway... Do we really want to add to their work load? ???

@darth that was the thread I was referring to mate yes and for all that haven't read this post from top to bottom as stated I've not taken a pop at person in question I simply stated I was not satisfied with the response received not the person
@lazy I took note of your post that subject had bein covered I'm not disputing that
And as for the comment about rating system I'm no noob to the internet although I am new to these forums yes I have and do use eBay and will continue to do so this all getting out of hand I asked a q all be it covered and got an un acceptable response WHICH is what my gripe is about it you all keep saying how abrupt this person is yet I read a thread started by said person last night all there replies were nothing like what I received.
-
Having not read said thread I found it:
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=94757.15 (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=94757.15)
Err what exactly is the problem here? :-\ :-\
To be honest if you find that offensive & go into a rant about it, thats a bit pathetic really. :-\
1) You could have PM'd him directly to discuss
2) What is achieved by creating another thread on it just that point? You never responded on the original post.
Your creating a lot of fuss over nothing!

@ tunnie yes mate like people keep saying time time again my whole point is lack of information I'm by far trying to stir up trouble and as for pm if I sent that as pm would be met with ignore , and , or even get over it you get my jist I done this way to make a point that it takes mins to construct a small informative post and as said here time and time again short straight to point ans well that all seems to gone out window here hasn't it I take my hat off to the loyalty to members and u accept at sun point I myself could offend sum1 but I'm starting to think this forums are not what I thought they were :'(

As I said earlier... I would recommend just drawing a line under it all and starting again ;)
Unfortunately you broached a subject that was only recently a bit of a "sore point", which is probably why you got a short answer ;)
I wouldn't have bothered typing much more having looked through the previous posts that explained it had already been covered either TBH ;)
-
@lazy that point has bein dropped my point is that a short constructive would have sufficed yet so far I've bein called a trouble maker ,I've taken a dislike to said person ,I've bein called a lier what comes next your a wife beater and can sum1 please tell me what op stands for Ty in advance

Well you know some but not others!
"OP" - Original Post(er)
"TY" - Does everyone know that means Thank-you?
"sum1" - Your not 15 years old on a phone, your using a keyboard, secondly text speak is against forum rules.
-
Good advice in my opinion.Put it out of your mind.Accept it as crossed wires/miscommunication etc. and start again afresh from a clean sheet.Dont let it play on your mind,these people arent deliberately attacking you.They are fiercely loyal to TB and for good reason to be honest.For every person he is a bit blunt with,there are many more who he goes out of his way to help,most of whom you wont hear anything about. ;)
As said - forget this,and start again from scratch.Hopefully you will find the forum more friendly and welcoming as time passes. :y
-
but I'm starting to think this forums are not what I thought they were :'(
Trouble is as a newbie you do not know what goes on behind the scenes. Any forum uses resources in the form of a server and bandwidth. I suspect the OOF admin is trying to get the best out of the forum, that may require to cutback on stuff that increases the load and makes the server unstable.
You have forum posts, the PM system, edit buttons and mods which add extra functionality to the forum. Some of the stuff also hogs resources and can make the forum unstable. If you have explained in the past and have to keep repeating yourself why something is missing then maybe nerves get a bit frayed.
If OOF admin is paying for the setup and keeping it going behind the scenes then cut him a bit of slack. Then again at 3 pages you could be a troll and achieving what you set out to do, cause disruption ;D

OP = Original Poster = You in this case :y
Like I said... Things got heated, things were said :( No need to dissect it any further ;)
-
Should have typed. "good advice from Lazydocker". ::)

Fiercely loyal isn't how I would describe it... If I thought he was out of order I'd tell him ;)
But, as you say, he does go out of his way to help anyone if he can. I know I have benefited from his knowledge and assistance many times :y
-
TB was blunt with me once. But I am pretty sure he didn't make a voodoo doll of me and stick pins in it. ;D ;D
Ouch!! my hand.
Here's a group hug....... (http://feelthebyrnes.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/group-hug.jpg?w=450) :y :y
-
Maybe not the best choice of phrase,but you know what I mean. ;)
As for your request for a hug.... :o :o ;D
Can we all please stop jumping on the blokes neck now,hes new, no doubt got a lot to learn, but it doesnt mean we give him a group kicking. ::) ;)
-
we give him a group kicking. ::) ;)
Thought that said "licking" :D
-

Who called you a trouble maker? ???
Who called you a liar? ???
Wife beater? That's a jump and a half :o
TB has been blunt with all of us, his friends included. We all have our monents. Dont take it so personally :y
