Not that I have anything to do with that discussion whatsoever but I think that the admin was out of line and acted ridiculous. Everything that retard posted seemed legit.

I too have nothing to do with this but I am taking the side of s2kretard. Admin is out of line, owner or not.

heheheh IN all honesty ITS HIS site...
He can do WHATEVER he wants, why try to argue with him ? Only way to win is if you can possibly see the person face to face and then see whats up...other wise you ARE def not going to win against the owner of this site.

So just like someone would go into MY house and I treat them like shit for F^%$ing with me, they can take it and stay or bitch and leave ?

at the end...its Krazik site so hes right : )

Thats what it comes down to...in my eyes.

Everyone is human and mistakes happen. Oftentimes, the use of certain terms are used to achieve a humorous effect as opposed expressing an insult. To me, both parties herein used rather benign adjectives that underscore the lack of malicious intent by each.

During my brief membership on the board, I have always observed Krazik to provide succinct and knowledgeable positions with a little humor injected when warranted. It is obvious that this administrator is very experienced in life and driving s2k cars. I do not think his comments (expecially any that were contained in a pm) were in bad taste. In fact, his references to a donkey race and the age of the other member were not overly caustic, were attempted to be communicated in privacy, and seemed to fit the situation perfectly.

Perhaps newer members should take time to recognize the style of certain long standing members, expecially administrators, and post their comments accordingly. The politics of this site are what they are. I concur that pm messages should remain private unless each party to the pm has expressly provided his/her authoriziation to release all or any parts of the pm. Name calling vs. public disclosure offences should be treated differently. My 2 cents anyway.

let the smoke clear and everyone have a fun year

Now you've posted a 4th time on the same topic, in fact you've posted a 4th copy of the same post. You obviously understood the official response because you are now amending your complaint to acknowledge that the admin is an owner of the site whereas your initial complaint was that he overstepped some level of authority.

Talking about general censorship is not germane to this issue. THIS issue is about the owner of the site being a baby and taking offence to something someone said. Yes he can do that, he can do whatever he likes, and you'll just have to live with it. There is nothing else to be said about it is there?

Deleting/merging 3 identical posts and leaving just one copy is not censorship, it's tidy. Your post asked a very simple question and it received a very simple and direct answer, an answer you clearly understood based on what you posted here. Question asked, question answered, topic finished.

Just because you didn't get the answer you were looking for doesn't mean you didn't get an answer. Ranting about the system being corrupt isn't going to go anywhere.

The site is moderated by over 100 moderators and Community Organizers. If they think a topic is going nowhere good, is off track or inappropriate for their forum they will close it to preserve it as is or remove it. Administrators do very little if any active moderating of forum content. If there is an issue take it up with the moderators of the forum.

The problem is that S2Kretard (who is a race engineer, driving instructor -instructed a few members of S2Ki, and huge benefit to the community) was banned for pointing out a wrong statement by Krazik.

S2Kretard cannot post on this forum because he proved Krazik wrong, and I don't think that is right.

He's not banned and arguing on the Internet never proved anything. I personally don't care about whatever they were yaking about, it doesn't matter. All I know is that you cross posted a completely unrelated topic to multiple forums and then complained about being censored when all but the first copy were removed.

I can complain too. I can complain about people who spam the forums causing a ruckus complaining about something that doesn't exist.

Similar to what Cthree mentioned - The owner can do whatever he wants.

Im not backing either side up, because god knows Im probably going to get banned in my local forum with my current CO's

However in the END, S2kRetard does not own the site...so hes stuck.
Thats the reality of it...
