So, see this thread, and the video (warning, NSFW or Children). I watched the video, and normally I wouldn't be offended, but, I was a bit offended that I couldn't voice my concerns about bad performance about a vendor without being chastised or the thread closed. So, I received this tonight:

You have received an infraction at FFCobra.com - Factory Five Racing Discussion Forum
Dear Purple Venom,

You have received an infraction at FFCobra.com - Factory Five Racing Discussion Forum.

Reason: Complaining About Site
-------
You don't like the way we run the site, then don't use it. This is your one and only warning about complaining about how I run this site.

This infraction is worth 5 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

So, should I assume that he is under some stress and this is the result? My first reaction was whatever. Then as I read it again, I got pissed off. The third time I posted here. Really? I've been a member (not a paid member) for 2 years with no other issues and I get one and only one warning?! I was merely pointing out that he allows a fowl languaged video but simple things like outing a bad vendor are not allowed? May as well allow porno videos on there.:eek:
 
Yes, that's the one. I was thinking it would be Cobra related and at any time a Cobra would come in to the picture or something. Several are saying it was staged, ok, state that in your post somewhere, don't be a jacka$$ moderator and send a PM with a "warning" Whatever, we have enough experts here to help me solve my problems :D
 
That's the first time I've seen that video.
At first I thought it was crude.
Then I thought - what is this doing on a car site?!?
Then at the end I knew it was staged - just bad acting - not very real.
Finally I thought - this has no place in a public section of a car forum - it's just plain silly.
And your point of complaint - why not post some porno then? Valid point.

So, it's OK to be a gun activist and post some silly video of an urban legend.

But let's not leave out the other groups that may want to post some videos.
Do you think they would allow some KKK linching clips, Nazi death camp clips, or man on man kissing videos, or how about some Satanic ritual animal mutilation videos? Seems like all of those videos would be welcomed too? How about posting Martin Luther Kings - I have a Dream speech. Would the allow that?

NO?
Wonder Why ?
 
That's part of the suggestion I sent Bill, that maybe this was something that needed to be in the paid members only portion of the forum. Oh well, I have no need to be there anymore.
 
Wonder why he can't respond to me PM to him? Oh well, guess I'll have to abide by the rules of not outing poor performing vendors and will need to post dirty videos/pictures to stay in the "club" :D :rolleyes:
 
Just remember Tim, he makes the rules (which also means he gets to break them)...and your not a paying vendor or supporting member.

So wear your kid gloves, and watch what you say. I saw this last year and when Dan was pissed at Mike Forte that was my advice to him.

Not saying I agree with any of it, but those are the unwritten rules on that forum.

Vendors and Bill get their way. Period.
 
Yeah, I understand that Scott, but my "one and only warning" for my FIRST offence? Yeah, about that supporting member thing. What happens to all that money anyway. There aren't, as I understand it, ANY perks to being a member. IF he is so worried about money of his legal defense fund, which I contributed to, but will not anymore, then he wouldn't alienate a potential paying member. So, back to the question - what does he do with all the paying members money? If our "little" forum can be supported with less than 60 members on $36/year, what is he doing with 14,000 members money? Hmmmmm. :rolleyes: And, as I said, I enjoy this forum much more since I know everyone and can get many of the same responses here that I would there. No, I won't go back there. I've only logged in to see if he responded to my PM, which he hasn't, which I hate because that's like calling a radio station, yelling at the host, then hanging up before a response is given. So now, I will have the opinion that he is just another Forum JERK since he hasn't responded or addressed my questions/concerns.
 
FFC Free since 4/28 :D Know more people at Club Cobra too. Never got a response from Bill, too bad, I just wanted to understand. :confused:
