Shame you're not allowed to elaborate further.
I've never had any problems with their stuff, though I do buy their 'posher' item when theres a choice.

I need a few bits so I'll keep em peeled. Thanks for the heads-up.

They have nothing but praise from me - best on P&P + service, and some of the cheaper bits have been top stuff - e.g. the rubber bush set they do at the moment, its not rubbish by any means.

Certainly - Andrew MacQueen, AKA bigginger and you DID make "negative or libellous remarks or comment(s)". Hardly means being "a man" to do the moderator's job of making sure the forum rules are followed.

Ahh well that figures

I thought it was agreed that mods put their names to things when they moderated comments

Another point is that I strongly object to the fact that I have no opinion and was also accused of

"No bad or abusive language

I've been on this forum long enough to know not to use the above, this is a family forum and I certainly DON'T use it

Then I shall ensure that the rules are edited further and quoted more selectively just for you. I thought that signing my name as 'a', just like my other posts would suffice. Clearly not.

Dare i say it?

fight fight fight!!

Nah seriously though mal, perhaps you can get across your opion on Bull Motif spares without resorting to "negative or libellous remarks or comments, or bad/abusive language".

I think youngun is right..... recollections of last Christmas spring to mind with ceretain people, who shall remain anon;
No further comment to this childish mod..

There never was any question of bad language, just negative comment. You're entirely welcome to think that the moderation was childish, but it IS what's in the rules, and it IS what the club committee have asked us to do. No fight, no grudge, no nothing. The rest of us manage to communicate bad press by means other than the message board.
I too have no further comment, other than to add that you're entirely welcome to take it up with Kevin (or any other mod) if you feel some injustice has been done.

If you edit something and say "no bad language" you are telling the world that the person used bad language, and then hiding behind rules as an excuse for doing it - it's not really on.

Apologies for butting in, but having spent the time to read the posts I thought I'd stick in my tuppence.

My Bull Motif stuff has always been fine too - and good fast service!

Hey Andrew, good to see you back

And while Andrew's got no further comment, I've got a little one. The rules say that you're not allowed to defame or make negative comments about specific suppliers. While this is a pain in the posterior for many many reasons (just ask me in PM about what I think about the company who "restored" Rebecca originally), particularly with what seems to be the declining quality of modern parts for our beloved minors - thems the rules. You agree to them when you sign up. Badfalfael, Andrew didn't say "No bad language" - he quoted the segment of the rules being applied.

"No bad or abusive language, defamatory, negative or libellous remarks or comments"

While you may disagree with the policy of the messageboard - and the MMOC - many of us do; or at least feel there should be some means of indicating a supplier's relative merits supported by the MMOC, at the moment there isn't and it's a whole kettle of sharks that's been got into a lot of times on the board.

And Mal, it isn't childish of Andrew, it's his job. Can we all play nicely this Solstice season? I know it's a stressful time for everyone (hey, I'm working all of the Winter Solstice and my Viva's had to go for a new engine - at a garage - because I can't work outside at -3 degrees)....

Anyway, I'm gonna disappear off to make holes in my old bathroom wall in the hopes that I might have heating by the summer ;)

i have nothing but fantastic praise for Bull Motif,they are only about 10 miles from me but i know if i order online i could have it next day if i wished,yes obviously some parts aren't spot on(bottom rad hoses and rotor arms come to mind for me)but for what they cost you can get another elsewhere.the service they provide and the majority of parts they supply put charles ware to shame.
