Who Removed my post last night!
 

well i popped a post on here last night, which i think would benefit 95% of people on here who go abroad on there bikes.

To my surprise it disappeared minutes later!

what has Pi55ed me off, is the fact that whoever removed it,did not even bother to u2u me the reason why !

When i joined this club, i turnrd up at the first MT meeting Knowing No- one.
I produced for the raffle some nice items, and on other occasions i have done comptitions and put money or items up as prizes.
I know from time to time i have overstepped the mark, but i also feel as a "paid up member" that i have contributed to the club in a lot of different ways,
Even as you all know i no longer own a Ducati.

I was even trying to Re-arrange my weekend to come down to the DSC Bash even though the 200 +mile journey would have only meant a whistle stop "Quick hi" and a cool beer.


I'm just a selfemployed ordinary guy who like most of us is just eeking out a living.

Those that know me,will also tell you i would go out of my way to help anyone, "NO Charge"...

so who ever deleted my post last night kindly come forward, and explain why!

or would it be better all round if i took my membership,and removed myself from here, as it is starting to look like my face does not fit!

regards mav
:flame:

u2u me the details Mav ... I'll have a look

:lol:I posted a 'congratulations' type message,looked 5 mins later and the whole post had gone?:puzzled:

Can anyone just remove a post. Surly it has to be a webteam member :puzzled:

???? C'mon fellas what's the story?

I'm digging - but some knobber won't leave me alone on msn ;)

:D

I've sent Mav a u2u, I don't know who or why it was removed. Lets be patient.

To answer Crunchy's question ... the people who can remove a thread are:

The thread originator
Any of the Webteam
Any of the moderators

This may have been me, and it would have been a mistake. Looking at the logs, my IP says as much. I remember reading your post, then I moved onto something else, the action I took did not happen, which makes me think I removed your post by mistake. Timing fits. Sorry.

Let me buy you a beer on Saturday as a way of saying sorry.

Mark aka Flanks.

Surely a candidate for the "IT Muppet of the week" award! :lol:

Er..that old chesnut.....................:frog:

There are little people living in our pooters............

:alien::alien::alien:

And they keep eating our posts without warning or reply :borg:

Can we have the missing post back then please coz i'm NOSEY and want to see what it was.:puzzled:

no he wouldnt have done it on purpose i can confirm he is definitely a muppet! ;)

can't see it the database, looks like Flanks well and truely lost it. - Well at least he did n't get rid of an entire section? Yes, I did that once but I blame my PC crashing.

Dickie, i'll take that as a compliment, from one muppet to another. :P

BDG, sorry, can't get it back, unless your surname is Who.

No its What

Why dont you repost your thread Mav?
Flanks has admitted deleting it by mistake so there shouldnt be a problem with doing it again.

Surely Why?

Probably deleting all the porn you downloaded earlier::lol:

Shush Chass. Or I'll phone your wife again!

Not more dirty phone calls Mark.

I've just checked the rota and it's actually my turn tonight, shall I call around 7pm Chass?

Make sure this time you turn off the record on the phone and web cam is off this time Tony.

Oh yeah, forgot about the webcam ...

:barfy:

what makes you think it was personal Mav ??? ;)

Flanks is a **** to everyone mate .... :frog:

:lol: Only to the people I like ;)

But Where?

It's There.

Could you make it about 9pm as we eat dinner at 7pm.

Who removed my post last night
 

Why, has your fence fallen down?

















another totally useless contribution from me, and i'm sober:lol:

Sorry, no can do. We may have to reschedule.

My kinda humour:lol::lol::lol:

post removed (advertising)
 

Webteam, sometimes,in search of "money" we tend to lose sight of the things that made the DSC what it is!
I more than anyone understands the need to re-think the strategy of the Business.
so i ask this.

The members who have paid the "fee" to join the Dsc,usually sport the T-shirt, the Decal's on their bikes etc etc.
so does that mean that the DSC pays all the paid up members a commision for actively promoting the club?

On the basis that the idea of commercial advertising for some of the members (like me) is to pay a fee to the club inturn for a spot on the board where members can see what i sell!
so will this mean when i have paid my said fee, no other none fee paying member can then promote another company doing the same thing as me?

Are there going to be different levels in which i can advertise

Ie My trips to the nurburgring clearly benifit me!!!
so therefore i deserve to pay for the benifit.
BUT then if say, I offer a service by where it clearly would benifit the member , would this be cheaper?

AND THEN ONCE I paid my money could a none paying member then post up a thread offering someone elses service of the same nature for free !


I'm not being antagonistic, just trying to get my head round the situation!!

Ie
If i post a new thread up (hope it does not get deleted) and your rules say it is blatent advertising ploy and then you remove it !!!!
does it then mean that if say Tp/Bdg/ rattler etc, puts a post on ,openly promoting my business, would it then be allowed to stay?

webteam can you throw some light on this for all of us self-employed guys /gals or even the few millionaires on here?

ps Steady hand on this post FLANKS;)

Good idea Mav. I'd be up for some of that action too.

Was thinking about running trips to Germany to ride around the 'ring :lol:

Actually, I'd advertise my website business ;)

:D

cheeky:P

As possibly the only person who may not understand what has happened ( It's an age thing ) do I take it that your post disapeared because it was an advert?

Phil:puzzled:

I don't understand what's going on!?! What was it an advert for Mav ;)

no don't think it was an advert it was a question as posted above it was deleted by accident and we invited mav to post it again as he has done.

Now the advertising issue in answer to my brummie friend:

Probably best that Eamonn answers this one but in his absence I will chuck in my 2 cents: The answer that we came to at the AGM when it was discussed was that we would overcome this by allowing some commercial pages within the site that the seller would have control over, thereby allowing instant updates, special offers etc. The problem with this website is that 99% of its use is focussed around the message board, - we as a club need to address that by improving the other pages around it. The subject of advertising on the message board is a difficult one, my own view is that it should not be used as such, we let one in, and then we could be overrun with adverts for everything, but until we have these commercial pages we cannot offer an alternative.

Clearly there are some great “traders” that add value with their association to us, personally I wish we could do more with those guys, but we as a club get stuck in no mans land pleasing nobody by trying to retain a neutral stance.

So sorry these commercial pages should have been done before now but we all within the MT have jobs and family that come first and I am not about to ask that people put more time in; this a voluntary role that we all take. As has been said before we run this club in a business like way, without doubt there is enough work for 2 people to be employed Monday to Friday. Just taking today as an example I would estimate I have spent 4-5 hours on club business, Chris Bushell probably the same, Monty has been involved, as has Paul James, other non MT people like Charlotte and Michael Winter have spent considerable time on club business, then we have Lizzie’s almost daily work on membership, - it goes on. The club has grown significantly this year, not just membership but with events. We need more people helping and getting involved to be honest. My own view is that we need more of a Northern focus, we need more work on regional groups, sorry I am rambling (again) and going off topic.
