Yeah true...I was annoyed and if someone (a admin) had a problem with it (my signature) then they should have just told me...... But fine I'll let it go

As I saw what he wrote in the Saddam thread. He seamed quite fine, Except for the threats, or tho I can see why he lost it there. But I'll look around, don't want to get banned on my first day here. Don't worry lol - it takes a lot to get banned. You would have to do something pretty nasty to warrent a ban. Oh and welcome to the forums. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: So I have a different point of view to you so I deserve every thing I get.....WTF is this crap?????? i was referring more to the childish way in which you carry on, threaten physical violence on the internet and boast about being in jail. You argue for arguing's sake. Besides I said go and read your posts, meaning make up your mind after you are informed on what is happening, not before. 3D_VL: you will find people on this forum are always willing to help when you have a problem however beware of ford vs holden and other such "discussions" because they normally become childish slanging matches.

Oh and welcome to the forums. yeah I've been banned twice EEVL I know why but EEVL2 I have no idea why But welcome.................now bring on the sharks or croc's depending on where ya live....

Thanks guys... I can see there are alot of childish behaviour on here, not all just from EEVL. Threating physical violence on a forum is pointless, however I see why that got out of hand. Just can't see why EEVL is totally at fault. vlred I wont be going near the Ford vs Holden thread nor the Saddam thread, way out of control in there!!! Thanks platinum I won't be any problem.

Its ok if there pickin on me....means they arnt pickin on other people all the time...and yeah I get a bit agro at times....but hey I can live with that... But new signature so have a go at that...... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nothing wrong with that one Yeah it does take alot to get the mods pissed off alot of the time. But generally its a forum, theres alot of people and we all have different opinions, and we have to respect the other persons opinion as stupid as it may be. Not referring to you, theres actually a large handful of members that I could name off the top of my head that need to realise that their opinion isn't the truth, and that, it is just an opinion. Play fair, don't stir too many people up and chat away, no doubt that this forum will be grounds for many idea's and parts and one day might even help you troubleshoot. Thats all I've got to say Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: Originally Posted by platinum Yep! As with most forums, it's run in the style of a Benevolent Dictatorship. Basically, we will listen to what the forum users want, take into account what changes you want made, we will make them if they are good, or an idea is very popular. But in the end, it's our descision, so yep, if we don't like someones avatar or signature - it can be removed. It's a forum, it's not like you pay to use it, or are somehow obliged to be registered... Lets have a look at the 2 most inaccurate statements you have put forth. 1. You may be the owners of this forum, however Sin has registered the site and is using soft wear registered from a company. 2. As this site has been registered in Australia, it comes under the constitution of Australia and all members are to abide by that constitution. 3. You have paying members, non-paying member (affiliates) and visitors. There for you come under the laws that govern what you have created, a CLUB. 4. As you do have paying members you also come under the ATD (Australian Tax Department) and the laws regarding non-public moneys as well. To make statements like you have can cause a legal mine field for you and your other admins/moderators (board of directors) of witch Sin being the CEO. For people miss using, altering or illegally using someone�s signature is no way appropriate nor legal. You have in fact a very real obligation to someone that registered to your forum (club) be it that he has done so on his own free will. The use of lyrics from a band that has been registered i.e. SLIPKNOT is highly illegal, and you can be prosecuted for it. In summing up, Sin I would if I was you clean up and make clear guide lines on how this site is going to be run. My advice for you is to seek legal advice on what you can and cannot do. I see you have also got registered businesses, weather they are sponsors or not, advertising on this site, that also opens a legal mine field. There for please be assured that you do have a duty of care to all your members be they paying a annual fee or just a affiliate or visitor. Thank you for you time.

Please explain how you "register" a site? Anyway, we have bought a .net domain name, it is not governed by any laws/rules on the user end. We also use vBulletin, which aside from only having a single copy installed, there are not really any 'rules/laws' pertinent to us. Quote: Originally Posted by IllegalVL 2.

The ozperformance domain name is bought from a US company, and the site is hosted on a server in the US. Quote: Originally Posted by IllegalVL 3.

As you do have paying members you also come under the ATD (Australian Tax Department) and the laws regarding non-public moneys as well. They are classed as "donations" as far as I know, but sin handles that side of things for calaisturbo.com (ozperformance.net is a different site). Quote: Originally Posted by IllegalVL To make statements like you have can cause a legal mine field for you and your other admins/moderators (board of directors) of witch Sin being the CEO.

It's perfectly legal for us to do whatever we like. When you signed up with this forum, you agreed to it. This is an internet forum, not a registered company or anything governed by a set of global rules - we have absolutly no obligations at all to anyone or anything. This site was setup in our freetime, and all of the admin/moderator team are volunteers who do not get paid a wage/fee whatever for helping keep ozperformance.net here and running. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

BTW EEVL I think EEVL2 was banned because you were allowed to use EEVL again. No point in having two usernames for the same person

Well firstly, I didn't edit it, I haven't been on the boards for a couple of days, I didn't even see this thread until right now (and I pretty much read all of the subforums). Second, we pretty much things as we want, we have done this in the past and will do it in the future. Lots of times we act on requests from members if they come up with a good idea (eg splitting for sale section). We state very clearly that if you do not like we way we run things, then LEAVE. 99.5% of people seem to have no problems at all with the way we run the boards..... I have deleted lots of peoples avatars (just ask VLMuzza ) and I have changed a couple of ppl's avatars when a link was broken or whatever. I can't remember ever changing one because of what was written there. Hope this clears things up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hahah im loving this thread lol

ive been using this board since the early days of calaisturbo.com and have never ever had a problem. If you use a bit of common sense with what you post there will be no problems.
