Hey what's with the censorship of the ozzie thread?

There was more discussion about cycling on that thread than any of the totally pointless flandis threads. How come they haven't all been moved to "foo" (whatever that is), or perhaps there should be a forum for drug taking.

The oz thread had been going for quite some time, without any observable problems, what happenned all of a sudden?

Is this some kind of anti-Australian move by one of the moderators?

Pissed off.

Hitchy

ummm we have been nuked. Seems 1 of our illustrious moderators has taken a dislike to us....I'm sure you'll hear from her & have this thread nuked as well. Appears to be a combination of us being naughty boys & disagreeing with a mods opinions...apparently you can say whatever you like as long as it's in line with the mods view.....so where the hell is Yarramalong?

mrkott3r

well I can see where this one is gonna go:

+ this thread =

nova

Foo is a forum for off topic posts or just general chit chat. Click the highest level bike forums link (i didnt know it was there my self for the longest time)

mrkott3r

well it didnt go quite as I planned. Only got moved.

climbo

bugger !

Hitchy

Geez....we're slipping...only moved???.....where are we now?....Oh..'forum suggestions'...never been here before....I gotta few.....

mrkott3r

think of it as a gentle ride on a tsunami caused by the nuclear explosion above. The targeting wasn't quite on this time.

So is this the new ozzie thread?

yay.

miyata610

Hey... why don't we just take over one of the other sticky threads on the road forum :-)

Thylacine

STFU! I'm a clyde!

I must say I'm a little disappointed.....but only because I didn't even begin suggesting how Landis could've got more Testosterone into his system in 'untraditional' ways!



You're correct though, the double standards on this board are incredible, but sadly no more incredible than some other cycling forums. It's unfortunate that Little Hitlers think they can just do whatever the hell they like, like there are no standards of fairness.

I mean, nuke an entire thread because you don't agree with what a couple of the contributors have said? Fark, if I was a mod I'd nuke every thread on this board, the amount of bullsh¡t I read daily. To top it off, if you nuke and entire thread that's frequented by predominantly Aussies because one or two people you don't like are Aussies, how is that not only censorship but also blatent discrimination?

Having never met Koffee I will make the bold assumption she's African American by her name and avatar, making the entire debarcle ironic AND ludacrous! Actually, it's not that dissimilar in theory to say having a bunch of Saudis fly a few planes into a building, and then invading Iraq! Thankfully, that analogy doesn't quite work as she would've had to mistaken all of us for Kiwis and nuked 'the Kiwi Thread' instead!!!!!!

how about this one? the thread "starter" shouldn't mind.

btw, what happened to mrkotter's last post? (ie. #12)

miyata610

Have you checked out the sticky on road cycling about flanders on tv? I think the coffee person is the moderator that made that one sticky.

Somehow it's ok to discuss an American cheat on a road cycling forum AND make it sticky, but the oz thread was obviously not appropriate. Duh.

Btw, I searched on coffee's posts and quite a few could be considered not appropriate for the forum that they're posted on.

Self important, childish, petulant, sooky, humourless, self absorbed. And I haven't even got started on the mods yet!


I must have missed the good bits when I went to bed.

mrkott3r

there was no good bits, just a lot of ranting and a lot of threads getting this:

classic1

War is bad.

georgiaboy

Just as a reminder, one of the mods is an Aussie.

pshaw

Right next door to my local XC/Downhill course!

You lucky bugger miyata610!

mrkott3r

which one?
Brian/expat is back in the states.

Thylacine

Yeah, but so is Mel Gibson and Russell Crow and look where that got us.

georgiaboy

Here is your fellow bloke. One of the oldest memberships here. Probably good friends with Joe, huh?

It's a sad state of affairs when an off topic punch on starts in one thread and another completely different thread gets the chop.
Especially as TAT seemed to be about the most viewed thread on the forums (apart from show your rides)

I think we were like the Big Brother house of bf. Everyone watched it but the govt (as it were) wanted us banned.

Chris L is an Aussie as well. So there are two Aussie mods.

mrkott3r

I still dont think it was that off topic. There was a definite lull while waiting for the results of the next test. A few disagreements, a reach for the ammo, bam off topic.

I think a lot of it goes back to the "seppo" incident which I still dont understand, you have threads ripping into the French that dont get binned, but when the tables turn a 3rd party thread gets the chop! Talk about collective punishment.

Brian

And one is an honourary Aussie, married to an Aussie Princess.

BTW Tiger - Mel Gibson got nailed drink-driving a few days ago. He's still an Aussie.
