why cant i put a f**king link to my 'for sale add' in qld thread from the nationwide thread. Obviously its important to post on the nationwide thread as well as our own qld thread but whats the point of uploading all the same shit again (no point).

The rules state as below no links to external sites, Not our own site. Blitz has got some serious power issues. Aus to Qld isn't a problem.

7. No external links! - Do not post likes to items being sold on e-bay, or other forums. If you wish to start a thread advertising the same items on SAU, you must include all details and price in your thread. Asking people to refer to e-bay for more info is not acceptable. If you're too lazy to copy and paste the details on here, your thread will be deleted.

Do you think this is fair??????????

I know this isnt general automotive but i need people's opinions and the people who would be concerned would read this thread.

The rules of SAU are fairly simple, and have been in place for a long time.

Everyone else manages to follow them, so im not sure why its such a task for you to do the same.

You knew the rules when you posted, and you have quoted them in this thread so the only problem I can see here is that you are more interested in throwing your hands up and having a whinge than respecting the simple rules that moderators and administrators set out for Skylines Australia.

A lot of work goes into providing this great free forum to our users, yet there are the odd few like yourself that arent members and have never made a contribution to the running of the forum (from what I can tell) who post away, with full knowledge of the rules in place, then complain when they are pulled up for breaking these very rules.

I have offered to discuss this with you via pm - Feel free to take up that offer

Its not like its hard. Just go to your original post, click edit then copy and paste everything. If the pictures where uploaded by imageshack or something there should be a link. so copy and paste away. takes like 10 seconds.

omg stop sucking up to the administrators, they're r not goin to f**k you. If you don't have anything useful to add don't say anything.

I'm happy to follow the rules. I haven't broken any as far as i'm concerned. All the information is on SAU. It is not an external link. I do not feel this is a loop hole. I think if anything the rules need to be amended. What's so hard bout hitting a link to the main thread anyway? I understand if its to a diff site but the same site, i don't get it. Then you have to manage two threads, then people will ask the same questions twice, then bla bla bla, a million other things.

Unecessary and annoying

Actually, I'd have to agree here.

A literal interpretation of 'external links' would have to be links to off-SAU. If the

rule actually meant 'any links' there's no reason to include 'external' - the inclusion

highlights its meaning.

The rule as written and explained seems to be to prevent people from posting a

for-sale item on a non-SAU site (the example is ebay) then linking to it from SAU.

If the link is internal to SAU then the rule as written is not broken - the mod

is enforcing an incorrect interpretation of the written rule.

The mods are supposed to be able to exercise their discretion; but the rules

are there so people know what behaviour is expected of them (and the rule

once written should be followed by the mods too).

If the desired behaviour is in fact 'no links' then the rule should be rewritten

without the word 'external'.

Personally, I can't see the point in maintaining two threads with potentially

exactly the same content. I don't see why links shouldn't be permitted within

intra-SAU threads. If we're worried that a person will 4-sale in every forum

under the sun, perhaps a rule could be written like 'keep your 4-sale posts

only to relevant forums - don't post in NT if you live in NSW' for example.

FWIW I don't think it's an 'abuse of power' - I think the mod _has_ incorrectly-interpreted

the rule, but that this isn't a deliberate or malignant interpretation. The mod is doing

what they believe that they should.

And I'd like to see the mod's justification as to why they think 'external links' should

include 'on-SAU links' too :)

Regards,

Saliya

Read the forum guidelines perhaps?

No Spamming

:)

Not sure who you're responding to, but I doubt that this is the rule

that was invoked.

If it were, there's no way the mod would have suggested copy/paste

the original content to a new thread - that's just as much spam as a link.

Regards,

Saliya

Is it really 'important' to post your ad in two places? I would have thought if you were worried about duplication the easy way would be to just post one thread. You've already got an (oversized) signature advertising your car for sale, not like it's easy to miss that whenever you post.

its the kind of car where i get calls from as far as adelaide so it is important not to only have an ad in the qld section. I've already explained this.

And what the f**k are you on about r31nismoid??? did you read the thread b4 u posted??

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
