Every action taken on this board at any given time is done with a internal discussion between the admin team.
I have been openly and in PM been accused and mis-treated by member - Can I ask why?
Apologies If I have hurt anyones feeling.
Bill,
I think you are completely missing the point. As a Admin you have completely failed on two accounts. First is to act immediately when members are being unfairly treated/abused or offended.
Second is sticking your Administrative nose where it does not belong i.e. usurping the right to decide who is going to be reviewing the aftermaket fairings. You might notice that this thread was going quite well untill somehow the Club Admin got involved in it. Some of you might be the founders of it - great work and our ethernal grattitude for it, but it is not your private domain or property to be assuming a dictatorship role in it. Same rules apply to everyone, no exceptions, no specials. For me it was all simple - two guys raised their hand first. And that is it. Someone didint like it? Tough shit, get used to it! And you as an Administrator or being a part of that group should nip it in the bud right there. Not coming with some piss week excuses about lack of experience with fitment and crap like that. Mate, we have never met and I do not know the other members involved either so I have no stake in this. I am only writing this because of simple principles by which I live. Wrong is wrong, no matter who is behaind it. This Club needs to look inside and fix the issues whatever they are or it will become obsolete and irrelevant. If my comments have offended any one you must be feeling guilty and I do not apologise for it.
Do not forget why we are all here.

hear hear!!!!! you have said it better than i did, i know remsta flew off the handle, and made himself look like a dick, but im sure most in his situation would do the same, and by the looks, things like this happen all the time judging by what other older members have been saying,
as iv said, i dont care who got them, i dont personaly know remsta or bruce, and realy dont care wich one of them got the set, as i would have taken ether of there words of wisdom on the matter, but what i do believe is remsta had his hand up first, in wich case should have had first option, and i think its quite disturbing that an admin got in the way and made alternate arrangements, next we will be begging permision to make posts, post photos, or even set up a meeting to go for a ride under the ahc banner - this is just my opinion, take it with a grain of salt and i dont mean any disrespect by it, but iv owned, admin and run a few forums over the years, and this shit doesnt fly with bikers, car guys, drag racers, or photographers, in my experience
i want reviews on this product as ill be looking to buy soon, and am hoping that now the competition is out of the way, we can move on, get the fairings sent, fitted, and reviewed
cheers, ash

Sorry mate but that is where you are wrong, this forum is owned by one person and it IS his private domain to do exactly whatever he wants with it, be it appoint moderators to uphold the rules ageed upon by all members and make decisions on his behalf or to pull the plug completly.
We are here by invitation we dont own or controll this place. This forum has been going for over ten years so minor upsets like this that may seem important to some are really trivial in the grand scheme of things.
The owner and the mods will decide the direction this club takes if we dont like it we can invest out time elsewhere.
i agree with this, but honestly, does the recipient of a free set of fairings in exchange for a review realy have anything to do with "the direction of the club"??
im not trying to, nor do i realy want to butt heads with the kind members of this forum, but iv been a member only a couple of months, and i can already see why it happens
