Surley we all know what an utter bellend Bare is so why give her the satisfaction? Just let her have her schoolgirl rambles and ignore her.
Chris, m8
Please can we have some form of Moderator or sensible few who can "vet the applicants" to avoid the spammers and total Cnuts arriving on
this site, and if said applicant turns out to be a cnut, delete them
they are ruining a perfectly good "brilliant site" that will eventually mean good members walking away
regards
Steve
I'll second you on this request Steve.
^^^^+1 !
Getting a little annoying now 1
Why doesn't someone just come out with it?
Bare, is a nob, never has anything useful to say and to boot he/she's derogatory and rude with it and only here to troll for reactions. Just look
at their last 10 posts if there anything useful there than let them stay.
+1 - Moderators have all gone very quiet on LCB. Perhaps Chris could permit another member(s) to assist with the task of moderating. Lots of other
forums use forum members to moderate the forums - I think between us we could do it.
You could setup a system where is a certain number of people 'report' a member, then that members account is automatically frozen, and
flagged to the moderator. What do you think?

Fozzies still moderator but I don't see much activity from her either. I did offer to Chris a while ago to help and we chatted about it, but nothing ever come of it.
To be fair, while maybe I have missed it, the level of spam in minimal.
Bare is not a spammer, and would have go through a vetting process.
There is also significant issues with a manual vetting process, in terms of the labour required, and the introduction of a lead time to signing up,
which hampers the whole thing.
Did it once on my forum, for about 8 weeks when had major issues with spam memberships, until the software was improved to correct the issue by
improving the sign up process.

Spam is the main problem perhaps it is time to ban all m*bile p*one threads at least for a few months until the spammer looses interest.
Bare (who I suspect we all know of old by multiple other names) sets out to provoke by posting extreme versions of views that are often not far
from reality.

Nick is just miffed 'cos Bare had a pop at his Monte.....
Surley we all know what an utter bellend Bare is so why give her the satisfaction? Just let her have her schoolgirl rambles and ignore her.
on some other forums i'm a member of there are some very clear rules about what is and isnt acceptable behaviour and people have been banned,
either temporarily or permanently.
the trouble is the banning of members tends to just get them more attention, and ultimately creates a bad feeling.
It'd be nice if there was a mute function so you could decide if you didn't want to see someone's posts. They would see their own, but fewer and fewer people would read them.

Christ, is it that big an issue?
Bare's probably a secondary ID for another member anyway.

No idea who "Bare" is nor do I care, but having a quick look at some so his/her posts, they seem to be posted to create a reaction ... but so far I have not seen anyone post contradictory information to prove Bare is incorrect, so I am with BT.
Just because you do not like what somebody says or his/her opinion differs from yours, that is not a good reason to censor them.

If you two believe that then the world must be going mad!!!
This forum is a very helpful friendly place, this member is neither. Everyone has opinions but we are polite about them and if they are beyond that then most of us keep quiet. For one British trident likes rover cars, I hate them but I don't follow every one of his posts that mention rover slating them and him. It's called etiquette and at a lower level just plain old good manners.
Bare just doesn't contribute anything with any posts in any way useful or politely, full stop.
"I am going use engine X" - bare response that engine is crap
"I would like chassis Y" - don't use that chassis it's crap
"I've always wanted classic car Z" - had one it's crap, and British and crap
So where is the use in polluting a very good forum with idiots like that?
"Silly little car"....oh please!
I've not even bothered counting the amount of times I've read on this forum that Robin hoods are crap, utter sh1t etc..etc....by numerous
different members...and this is usually followed by a chorus of others joining in with the same punch line. Being a Robin Hood owner it does get under
my skin but I choose not to react as people are entitled to their opinion and there is truth in what they say.....but it's still hurtful!
What I'm trying to say is that if your grounds to moderate bare is based on his/her comments about your car, then you should look at all the
Robin Hood haters....or dutton haters.....in fact, probably anyone who hasn't spent £10k+ on an expensive BEC mecarno set!!
I enjoy reading the topics on here and contribute my money to Chris w without hesitation, but I tend to feel reluctant to post anything as I've
only built a Robin Hood, and your views on this has been made more than apparent.

That's the problem,
"The mods have left the building"
There are no active mods of this site, hence the fact we are plagued with 12 yr olds, who contradict themselves, but only after slagging some one
else off first
We have idiots with one post each that try to send us a link for us to follow, that will probably mean letting a Trojan infected PC
And that's just the outsiders,
we also have some clowns who on rare occasions, come up with the most odd comments, probably drink induced though!
and that's just a part of the problem
WHY can we not have some help in these problems, so we can all enjoy this wicked site
I have u2u Chris this thread, and done so as I am a friend of his, as yet unread

I love the Monte.
I wouldnt be remotely surprised if the person in question has no experience of theyre claims except what theyve read in a book.
If you ignore a dog turd for long enough they stop smelling, then they go furry and eventually evaporate.
If nobody even acknowledges his/her comments, eventually he/she will get bored.
Typical loud mouth Yank.
I care much less for the gnobs that are able to troll, advertise and generally be a nuisance in their first 2 posts, never to be seen or heard from
again.
I think we all have our own level of tolerance for those with an opinion vs those that are opinionated and can work out who is which and when to bite
and when to sit back and ignore, but accept that there may be truth or knowledge in both.
But troll or not there's definitely a case for "do not feed" and let nature take its course

And if he would say 'That engine is rubbish' to your face, would that make it ok.
Anyone would think the forum was ending!

A while back I used to read the Practical Classics Car mag until one month they had what they termed a group test on medium sized 1960s/early 1970s
cars that was utter and complete drivel, It rated the Singer Vogue as have much better steering suspension and handling than the Hillman Super
Minx --- in reality they differ only in the bonnet badge, trim and state of tune of the engine. The same article also praised silky the smoothness
of the Vauxhall Victor FE slant 4......... which in reality was reckoned back in the the day to be a rough running piece of **** around.
If anybody on this forum posted **** like that they would see they get gently corrected and if the persisted eventually put the boot in.
Bare gives an extremely caustic view, but sometimes the rose tinted myths printed in some classic cars mags need a 6 inch nail driven in them.
That is not to say we should insult the cars/engines some people on the forum own, almost everybody owning a problem car/engine will already know
the downside of owning X, Y or Z, but for example if anybody posted asking if they should buy or example a Chrysler 180 or an early Rover SD1 I
would make sure they knew the problems before buying.
A lot of deeply flawed cars are "what if cars" What if the brilliant Hillman Imp was free of head gasket problems? What if the
Lancia Beta didn't turn to iron oxide overnight ? What if the Stag had the Rover engine ?

Sadly this thread could well reveal why spam and threads that need moderating are getting more common. Assuming hes not quitely working behind the scenes to do somthing about this thread, with no reply from the main man, I can only assume hes(understandably im sure) too busy.
what BT says; develop a thick skin....
I did offer a few years ago to become a moderator seeing I was on the site so much
and that was during the calvinx and hellfire wars...
I think it would be good if the original poster could delete all posts on their thread, that way trolls would have little chance to be a
pest
