You Guys Got What You Wanted

[RobertP]

well after all of the edited cp3 posts you guys got what you have been striving for, for so long. (the guys this is directed at know who they are)

DIESEL POWER (Wade) from NGM Diesel Performance is banned from TDR for a month.

All of this for standing up for a product that he sells, and a company that he backs. but yet the other parties in the post were doing the same thing, and they are still posting????? and causing the same problems in different posts which have since been edited. makes you wonder who is really starting the trouble



sorry for the rant just voicing my opinion

Hate to here it in all sincereness. All I wanted to here from him was an answer about who he was claiming made the comment about me. If he would have let it go, so would I. I fully realize he is a close friend of your Robert, but did I really come across that brash when you met me at the event? I have always tried to make friends with everyone here on the TDR. When I think Wade and I are doing fine, he throws a punch in like he did the other night.

no not at all. i had nothing but good things to say after that event. i just believe that its getting out of control going back and forth the way you guys did. i read it all before it got edited. but i decided not to post about the whole thing wasn't worth it to me. we will all get together at the track very soon and all have a great time and laugh at all of this. i have been dieing to get to the track before my next round of mods



it will be sooner than later, ive got to put the new transmission in on saturday then all will be ready.

I'm going to close this thread as it does not do anyone any good at all by keeping it open.



You've had your chance to vent, and out of respect I'll leave it on the boards, but not before voicing the TDR's side of the issue.



First off, the reason Wade (Diesel Power) has had his website access suspended for 30 days is NOT strictly due to this one issue---a member only receives the 30 day suspension by receiving "Strike 2", which is clearly defined in the TDR Site Guidelines. We are pretty leinient with 'punishment' around here and please understand we only resort to issuing strikes if the situation warrants it as the only option to squelch the behavior.



Secondly, Wade was not the only party affected or "punished" if you will. However, each member is entitled to the "3 Strikes You're Out" policy--Website Guideline 3. 0 if you're following along in the handbook--and, as such, we have to go in order. First offense, polite warning... . second offense, probably another polite warning... . third offense, strike 1... . fourth offense, strike 2... . and so on & so on. The 'gory details' of other members will not be discussed here, but rest easy knowing everybody who deserved their knuckles whacked got it--the severity of the whacking is in direct correlation to how big their "naughty file" is. Clear as mud?



**EDIT TO CLARIFY**

(The policy is that the first warning equals strike one. That policy was not enforced to the letter in the past, and still is not, depending on the situation. In a case of unproductive forum conflict, ie, member(s) versus member(s) arguments that can span multiple threads, the policy is enforced zero tolerance per the TDR administration. Hope this clarifies the warnings vs. strikes issue I talked about in the above paragraph. )



If you have any further questions, comments, or need my address to send a severed horse's head, feel free to PM me.



Lastly, I would like to make a public apology to the members for those threads staying unedited long enough for the eruptions to occur. We do our best, but with millions of posts, thousands new every week, and only a dozen or so moderators, we can't catch everything right away... . this time we obviously missed it. We rely heavily (perhaps too heavily? Send me your comments please!) on the member base to police themselves, and play 'watch dog' if you will, to notify us of situations before they get out of control. So please, if you see something you think is fishy, PM all of us, someone will get to it ASAP. Thanks in advance!



Cheers!
