When I accepted the role of mod, I knew it came with the responsibility of being fair. Not being able to use the search function, I could not confirm what ZMAN was claiming. If it was as blatant as you claimed it to be then I would have brought it up to admins earlier. Sure, I made a minor mistake. It could have been handled differently, but it wasn't. If you people decide to cast blame and opinions based on this, that's your business. Our paths will never cross, my life will be lived the same. Sorry for whatever inconvieniences I have cause you. I'm man enough to lay claim to my mistakes, take it or leave it. Best of luck with your future dealings on Tampa Racing, you guys have a good day.

Who the hell are you, squid?! I've never seen you join in on the bike tech shennanigans.

Require a current address. Bitches on the internet get real quiet when they are easy to find in real life.

Yeah it's a pipe dream.

well BAMF I just formally introduced myself in bike tech. you will find i am the opposite of a "squid", but thanks.
ZMAN did the right thing by standing up for the members of this site, it was quite commendable what he did. I just wish there was more I could have done, without stepping out of bounds. I'm done posting in here, I've explained my actions to the best of my ability. I wish every other forum was like ford tech, you guys have it under wraps.

oh and btw, you may see me post in here once i finish my race car build. i will be racing in the 4 cylinder bombers class at citrus county speedway. the car is an older model ford mustang, obviously 4 banger. it was free, so it will work. the original car was a 1985 ford escort, but i couldn't run the car without adding 500lbs.

differences in scale. We could have done that 4 years ago when we only had 15K registered members and 50 people online. Different community too.

Ford Tech is often the innovator for things here on TR, so if you guys feel like you need a scammer registry, start it up and I will sticky it. Just keep in mind that if it turns into a bitch fest, or requires someone to baby sit it full time we will probably lock it up.

Really though, thats what we have this --> https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/itrader_main.php for.

I see Zate's point 100% and agree that he shouldn't be the end all/be all authority on the truth of a situation. But I am confused when there is a 10,000 post thread named "Beware Joe Dono: Scammer" in General Car Chat.

Again, not wanting to cause an issue, just pointing out an inconsistency.

I believe that Zate and the staff are doing a great job and providing us with an on-line community that we all love...otherwise we wouldn't be here every day. So thank you Zate.

That thread is a cluster fuck and a great example of why scammer beware can be bad. That thread required constant cleaning up, monitoring etc etc .. i spent many many hours on that. That kid is a constant pain in the ass still. If we could just convince all of Pit Road to move to TF, my job would be much easier.. lol

Seriously though, open to ideas, we can try the thread in the ford area if you guys want to do that but I expect for every feedback posted there, that there is a TRader Rating added aswell. That system is ultimately better than just a thread on a large scale. (Although if you look, the top person only has a -7 score, and all of those are bogus).

Perhaps making the TRader system more obvious (especially in the forsale forums) is something I will look at.

btw i enjoy getting feedback from you guys in here. Well most of you except BAMF

maybe a minimum post count to post new threads in for sale forums?

possibly restrict access to users who abuse the right to use it.

I can't tell you how much I fucking hate that over on turbomustangs. How fucking stupid can people get with that bullshit? I'm trying to sell a set of LS1 coils that I'm going to sell at a great price and I can't do it on ls1tech because they have that bullshit rule, also.

There is the usual option to whore your post count up to be at a selling level.
