Lots of it.

What happened?

Rock

I think he insulted Brad.

Actually, I would have banned Rflow....... waaaay before oldgixxer.

Rob got banned, jeez he was on probation 45 minutes ago? what happened?

anybody have a clue?

Great another valued member *poof*

Anthony do you know the scoop?

Please with all due respect, lift the ban. Quid Pro Quo

Must've been something bad

banning is for thin skinned bmw boards. lets not start this crap here, especially with the good guys.

Oldgixxer and I got off on the wrong foot a few months back, but I was just starting to like him...too bad. Anyone know what he did? Make sure he shows for the MIR event, I was gonna have him make a few passes in my car, seems he knows how to drag race.

rflow306

Seems like racial slurs and insults are okay if you are connected.

Fr33kn63

he is well aware of MIR event and is also on the AD forum. So no worries he says hes coming!

Dunno why Brad is making it personal with a bunch of people, myself included. Evo isn't all that involved in our 55k stuff and I actually bought stuff from them. This is just not cool. Be bigger and let somethings go.

We all fight , we have all had some rough and tumble moments. Rob likely lost his internet temper, said awful things as we all have. Why not just ignore it? I realize in the heat of the moment the ban stick seems like the only answer but it really devalues the site to lose members that have made contributions outweighing occassional TOS violations etc.. etc..


MBWORLD should be informative and fun losing a member that contributed in both categories hurts all of us.

Plus its not like this is a mainstream teenie bopper forum. There's only a limited supply of membership for this forum. Why kill it by banning long time members/high posters?

Maybe it's an E55 guy conspiracy because his 63 is too fast... Come on, unban him!!

But we will never know, because there has been a massive cleanup to hide the content in the thread in question.

I have nothing to hide, except the fact that I read Rocks posts.

JAYCL600

this is ludicrous

This really blows, I talked to Rob last night about it and he explained the situation to me. I didn't read the thread yet but it seems like Brad pulled a Gustav, which is really strange because I like Brad and don't think he'd do such a thing.

But like I said, I wasn't there.

ItalianStallion

Please bring him back. He's an excellent member and a good friend. The dude is a true car enthusiast so give him another shot. Whadda ya say?

I saw the post that Rob made before it was deleted...... as much as I hate to admit it.... Brad at that point had every right to ban him based on the language used in the post (he said in no uncertain terms F' Brad and Evo). Rob pretty much made sure that Brad would ban him as a matter of principle. The events leading up to that point are completely ridiculous.....

I realize the thread in question has been cleaned up, but which one was it?

Somewhere around post #82...there were a number by Rob and Brad going back and forth....which no longer exist...

Thanks Tom. Wonder what set off Gix?

To answer in one word.... HYPOCRISY

To answer in more than one word.....may get me banned too....

handle this stuff better admins because the only reason people keep coming back here is due to the user base.
The moment another forum (any mercedes forum) starts getting a significant user base people are going to be jumping ship.
Right now there is nothing about this forum that can prevent people from trying out other forums other than user base and an impartial admin staff.
The more we see the admin staff doing gustaf like crap ... the more the chance for change.

Btw I'm not saying OG didn't do something that you have cause for banning him.
