A car club it is not a dictatorship...

What was being discussed is something we all see and discuss on a regular occurance.

What is wrong with or illegal or incorrect in discussing police issues.

To say it wont be tolerated is like it was almost defamatory of wich it wasnt.

If the personal attack,holy maria we are blokes,but anyways if thats the beef why not delete just the post.!!!!!!!!



Lets talk about whos got what trophy,Really...:golf:

Obviously it wasnt Joe otherwise I may have got an email or a call...

Stand by it but its silly and a dictatorship ruling wich is silly.

We live in a country where we can discuss stuff openly and freely but not here.

OK.. discussion censored....... & just when it was making sense to most people ......  :bow:..... ... guess speed camera's, radar use, road safety, where our money could be spent  and the like is not a car owners concern & should not be discussed .. ok.... guess it's back to the sports pages guys............:coffee:    :zip:

Can some basic rules be posted up ? they appear to change from time to time !

Its terrible seeing censorship like this ,

I  would have thought that anything related to a motorist including HWP and government would be reasonable discussion .......is petrol pricing ok to discuss ???



If not................ back to the sports pages thats where the "safe " conversations are .............

joe,
I read most of that post before being deleted. Maybe i missed something at the end i dont' know.
But what i had read did not offend me and i couldn't see a problem with what was being discussed by someone who had not posted anything in regards to that topic.
I am not going to say who is right and who is wrong.
What my question is, where do we find the AMCCA rules on what is acceptable content, surely this would have been written and confirmed the day AMCCA started the forum.
Which should be accesible to all club members and forum users.
As you recall i had a post deleted just before xmas for links to another video that had a swear word (don't know as i din't check all links)
I had no problems with this, but feel that the guidelines for acceptable content be made available to all concerned.
David.

Not on my watch they don't.  

All rules are listed here and always have been CLICK ME (http://www.americanmusclecarsaustralia.com/forum/faq.php?page=forumrules)

Periodically they get updated as was the case of Rule E in section 2 when certain people started posting inappropriate content on the forum.

Guys I have been watching this thread over the last couple of days wondering where it was going I think todays  replies got a bit out of hand I then had a call from Joe who is Super Admin on this forum asking my thoughts  after a  lengthy discussion I said Joe it is your call & what ever you decide I will back you. As this forum is read by not only club members but non club members. This is just my opinion I don't think it wise to complain about HWY patrols because it only takes someone to know one of them & show them the post & what the AMCCA forum says about them & then see how many times we get pulled up on a cruise. This forum is not run as a dictatorship their are rules in place that must be obeyed about what is posted & the topic, all forums have rules sorry if you do not agree.
 Regards Garry

Dont push my buttons.

Yes the rules DO change as I change/add to them from time to time

I am the only one that can alter the rules.  

I deleted your bloody tampon thread after the thread had been reported by numerous members including the president of your club and I did check the link.

There were pictures of tampons and I dont care what they were being used for.  Nobody is posting that sort of crap here.

I'm not a member of your club and am paid to keep the forum in safe order.

I dont care who it is.  Rock the boat here and I will can your ass.

Read the rules listed on top of the forum and enjoy the site.

Want to post contriversal content, do it some where else.

Now thats personal...Sorry old chap but it is....


Common sense is needed on both sides of the fence and maybe a u2u might be better action sometimes or deleting a post rather then an entire thread..In the original thread regarding the fine upstanding officers of this State.

Maybe we need a grey backround on the site....Plenty of grey areas..

So it can be directed personally but in certain circumstances.

As long as he doesnt know a copper or someone bigger then the typist.:yeah:

Time to have a coffee read the paper and read about the poor kids in Rawanda with no food for 3 months or the poor families dealing with having lost a loved one over the Christmas break.:logic:

... Muzzy 66 ...how about "Today's Arrivals" ... the Sports section has the latest odds on the next 8 boat loads coming across of poor Liberal Voting people of good character who have found though hard work and persistance...thousands of dollars each some place very legal to get  tickets....   and just think Muzzy 66.. if Glorious Leader Mr Rudd has his way... ALL THE ETA & CARBON TRADING MONEY will go to help them..... from your petrol and power bills and food tax and red light camera fines and income tax etc etc... will go to these countries where the boat people come from and they will stay there & build Free & Democratic Nations...... and probably IN TIME.. they will accept people from other countries .. like ones that are continually CENSORED.....!:drink:

  Tell you what Bro... when the next Sydney Ferry boat races on .. I might take a bit more notice cause not everybody will be able to escape up the Georges river....... :rol::bow:

Sorry CPU at no stage was i pushing your buttons

The threat of banning me because i posted a thread on an unusual way of minimising an oil leak .and after  in this thread pointing it out that it was removed

As pointed out the rules on posting here are very grey does not take to much for someone to find something "offensive" in many topic issues ,however for the most part much is allowed

It is sad however when car enthusiasts cannot complain about the way our governments treat us with regards to revenue raising techniques without fear of having a thread removed

In all reality internet censorship is already here because we are already afraid of what may happen if we say the wrong thing :(
If this post is deemed offensive and pushing your buttons maybe i should have my account on here deleted and club membership terminated

I dont make the rules I just post them.  May I suggest you discuss their content with your committee

In relation to you having club membership terminated that has nothing to do with me and may I suggest that you discuss it with your committee.

.. damn.. I just woke up.. was in the middle of a dream... Dreaming.. .I was on the Nepean river.. under full sail downstream on the SS Monza...... being chased by a bunch of people with laptops.. and can's... they were dressed up to look like part time Police... ..... but every time they swung the can it powered the sail more... it was hopeless... .... and as night fell we sailed on & found dry land & people who cared.... somewhere democratic...Club Med Somolia..... and lived happily ever after......:fantastic:
   
  ...but now....now I've woken up.. its still the same....:rain:

You know guys I really am sick of this S/ fight over a thread. I started this club with the idea of just having FUN & ENJOYING OUR CARS & it seems to have worked for 3 years + but I am not so sure anymore, maybe what we should be doing is channeling all this effort into positive things in the club. Maybe if we all drove to the speed limit we wouldn't have to worry about where the police were hiding & if you do get caught for speeding who's fault is it anyway as there are plenty of speed signs posted.

Ive spoken via email to Garry regarding this thread,and the way it was handled,and all should be tickety boo.

Open discussion is great & should be encouraged so lets enjoy it and have it be productive and move on.


Cheers
